"Part of the Ship, part of the Crew" I'm out on Roberts. The moment he gets into an M's uniform. He gets injured because that's our organization's luck. lol

@mitchellhopkins1742 Ай бұрын

I know it is a hot take, but I don’t really want Robert. He is very iffy with his health and he hit a bunch of home runs this series, but his only hits were the home runs. And I would say he is super good at a premium position defensively, but that doesn’t help the M’s with Julio in center already and it makes the cost more regardless.

@jarrettchristensen_music Ай бұрын

Unfortunately, he is probably the best hitter available at the deadline so I don't see them trading for anyone else.

@jarrettchristensen_music Ай бұрын

Canzone has been terrible though, and Robert at least is an above average hitter when healthy

@jayrah33 Ай бұрын

I get the worry here, I'm kind of worried myself about it. However... the whole "doesn't bring as much value in the field" thing is highly overblown in my opinion. Robert in CF is a huge part of the reason he has been injured so much early on in his career and you are basically getting him off of having to cover so much ground while still upgrading the outfield defense by a wide margin. Robert, Julio, Raley left to right or vice versa is not just elite, it's unmatched OF coverage and you would have it for years to come. Now your pitchers become even better than they were. And as far as batting goes, he is still finding his stride cause he's just now getting healthy. Plus you have to factor in the pitching in Seattle is some of the best in the league and allows less hits than average. We pitched around him all series and he still bombed 3. Who's doing that on our roster right now?

@jonathancracolici536 Ай бұрын

I want him plenty, I just want our farm more. We don't need A bat, we need several. He is not the missing piece. We have a very good farm system that we wont be able to restock. Roberts is not Castillo, he is not Soto.

@JeffBezosIsSanta Ай бұрын

Personal opinion is the Mariners don’t need another strikeout heavy hitter in the lineup. They need a guy more like Guerrero that will make contact, work pitch counts, get on base and can hit for power.. another strikeout guy in that lineup doesn’t help them that much.

I would take the Robert Jr trade, it's risky, but this is the year to go all in. I don't wanna wait another 23 years.

@jonathancracolici536 Ай бұрын

I feel that, but I just don't think we are one bat away. It all depends on the deal. If we only give up one top ten prospect Im all about it. If the WS actually want a Soto-deal, Robert is just not even close to as good as Soto. I dont want to overpay and give up a bunch of cheap impact players for a maybe-healthy guy. We need the cheap good players, cause our owners won't spend.

Love the show. With so much youth readying to ascend; Young Emerson Montes Ford Farmelo etc… could management be looking to move the AAA talent rather than the single & double A guys? For example if Young Emerson Peete or Celestin are to make an opening day roster eventually Bliss will be moved anyways. The same is true for Farmelo Rodriguez & Montes, Marlowe & Clase would be expendable. What price could be had for trading Marlowe, Bliss, Clase, and Locklear this year?

I'm looking for bats who don't require 2 of the top 5 prospects. I only trade two of them if I'm getting a leverage reliever too. That's what I think at the moment anyways.

The problem is there is no other OF bat available close to Robert, and OF bat is the biggest need.

Nah, postseason pitching will destroy the M’s strikeout heavy offense. Need someone in the lineup that can be more of a grinder and work the pitch count up and get on base. Guerrero is more fitting in my opinion.

@JeffBezosIsSanta Ай бұрын

You’re absolutely right. It’s also not guaranteed Robert gets traded. Reports say they want a bigger package than SD gave up for Soto a few years ago… so, the White Sox GM will probably need to lower his asking price. I’m just saying Guerrero or a similar low strikeout hitter is the type of hitter they need in that lineup. If they can work a deal for Robert of course he’s a great addition also.

I would like to see an trade with the White Sox. Mariners get Eloy Jimenez(Sox pick up his contract) and Jario Iriarte for Lazaro Montes. What the Mariners could be catching lightning in an bottle with Jimenez and you get an could pitching prospect back for an good young hitter that will be an DH.

Boy. I came to this conversation late. Wonder if we feel a little different about Arroyo's trade value after the ridiculous stretch he's been on in Modesto. Seems like a lot to give up for Rooker. He strikes out way too much, offers very little in terms of defensive value and is approaching 30. Also having a bad June. I would be much more interested in acquiring someone like Brenton Doyle. I'm a hard no on Luis Robert. Please Jerry don't acquire another player who strikes out over 25% and walks less than 5% and can't run to first base without getting injured. I can't bear to watch that.😢 What is with wanting us to get guys like Robert and Rooker? Do you want the Mariners to break the strike out record or something? 😢

@user-ui8xi7xk8c Ай бұрын

Instead of trading for 1 bat let's trade to fill the actual 3 holes in our offense 2nd base, Corner OF, And Dh With rengifo,ward,and rooker

@jayrah33 Ай бұрын

Give the Angels nothing for their rentals. Leave them in pergatory. We have Polo coming back soon and while he hasn't been good so far, I anticipate him getting going in the second half. Also Garver has heated up (and he is typically a second-half and postseason monster). Robert, Arozarena or Jazz would cost the most but also have the most impact and be around for multiple years.

@thestubs023 Ай бұрын

is pete alonso that much better than france hahahahahahahahahahaha Marte has been horrible hahahahaha my lord

@jayrah33 Ай бұрын

I believe the questions come from a place of relativity. Of course Alonso is better than France 1-to-1, but Alonso has to be be other worldly for the rest of the year for to you win a trade that essentially swaps a year + of France for 2 months of Alonso. Based on the past couple of years, it seems batters take a while to settle in here, so it's a fair question to ask "how much are we really improving here"

Julio is really a right fielder so get a center fielder but don't trade Ford. He's the ONLY catcher in the pipeline and Cal is gone, probably, as soon as he becomes a free agent.

Julio isn’t a right fielder. He’s a better CF than Robert lol

@evantiesman4165 Ай бұрын

What are you talking about? Julio’s a plus defensive center fielder. By like every metric, too. DRS, UZR, and OAA all have him as a plus fielder in center this year. He’s not “really a right fielder”, he’s a good center fielder.

@RustyTridents Ай бұрын

?? He will be a perennial gold glove contender in center every year he’s healthy until his athletic prime is decline 😂

@supernaturalta6174 Ай бұрын

Yeah, that first part is definitely a hot take. I don't see that Julio has played in the field anywhere but CF. I also don't see that Luis Robert Jr. has played anywhere in the field in his career besides CF. The Mariners don't really have anyone else to play in CF without losing a lot of defense. IF they did acquire Robert Jr., and if he managed to stay somewhat healthy, they'd have 2 good CFs, and that's not a bad problem to have. Julio needs a break from CF now and then, either as a DH or an actual day off. If we paid attention this off season, the Mariners have shown they're definitely not averse to acquiring injury prone players like Luis Robert Jr.

@jayrah33 Ай бұрын

Julio USED to be a right fielder, before he blossomed and turned himself into an elite defender. He covers as much ground as anybody in the game.
