It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

Hmm I thought this was an easy W for the Mariners. Ray's contract is terrible. DeScalfani only has 1 year left and Haniger has two. Ray has 3 years and over 70 mil left.

Seattle and Tampa now working on a deal involving Luke Raley going to Seattle and Cabalero going back to Tampa.

 

I guess Raley and Haniger can platoon?

From a money standpoint…yeah, but from a winning games standpoint it seems like a clear downgrade.

 

Desclafani is maybe a 4 SP, Haniger will probably only get 200 PA and be hurt the rest of the time. Ray still has ace upside.

 

Unless they are about announce a FA pitcher signing the move is puzzling from an on-field standpoint.

They'll probably start them both with Marlowe working in as well (I think he sucks though).

Ray isn't expected back until after the All-Star break. He wasn't very good in 2022 and then had a lost season in 23.

 

Descalfani is probably worth about 1 year 12 mil so I don't think he's a problem for them. They can just start him at the #5 and keep Woo and Hancock in AAA for depth, can limit their innings, and play with their service time.

 

Haniger sucks and so does his contract but it's a lot better than Ray's and they are so desperate for bats that he helps them too.

 

I have no idea what the Giants are thinking. Seems like they think Ray can bounce back and since they have a hole burning in their pocket they might as well try it?

Oracle park is where left handed hitters go to die. I believe that apart from the staying on the field issues, the M's believe they will be getting a hitter closer to the Haniger they knew when he was a Mariner.

Well Haniger is a righty but yeah they need bats and while the Giants do too they already have plenty of Haniger types.

Well I'm an idiot. For some reason when I was looking for LHB for the Jays I thought Haniger was one.

 

Thanks

No prob you probably just got him confused with Conforto. They are the same damn player only one bats left.

Jung Ho Lee now Robbie Ray, pretty fantastic offseason so far. If they get Chapman and a couple starters they can take out the Dodgers. Gj so far Farhan....you got my guy.

Can't wait to see the assets Getz get back for Cease. Seems like he's in hot demand...Hopefully the Yankees give up Ben Rice or Will Warren. Glad we're not in on him.

Barry probably had a little something to help him.

 

Oracle Park is one of the MLB ballparks where left-handed batters are least likely to hit a home run, according to Statcast. "Some who know Ohtani" see that as a problem for the likelihood of the Los Angeles Angels star signing with the Giants in free agency, according to Heyman.

How many HR's does Bonds hit if he played at new Yankee Stadium his whole career? 1,000+? It's probably not that high, as it's not like Bonds hit a lot of wall scrappers, but Oracle is like death to most lefties.

When Ohtani hits a bomb, it's usually out, Haniger isn't Ohtani, buddy.

There's likely an overlay of that in every park in baseball.
