This post probably should have been written a month ago when a Jose Lopez trade looked much more possible. As the roster comes together there is less flexibility in moving Jose and teams that were seen as potential targets have solidified their rosters as well. That said there still remains a small possibility of Jose [...]

I initially intended to write a similar post to Dave from USSMariner’s 2010 Off-Season Plan. Unfortunately, the longer I looked at things the more I began to agree with most of his decisions. I say unfortunate because it’s a fun post write, but if I only change two moves from what Dave did it wouldn’t [...]

The Mariners have fallen out of playoff contention, but could still manage an above .500 record. That .500 record is something many fans thought unlikely considering the team’s atrocious 2008.
One of the best parts of being a sports fan is tomorrow and now the 2010 Mariners are starting to take shape. This is what we [...]

The expected Mariners trade happened last night and was announced this morning. From what I’ve gathered many Mariner fans are underwhelmed by the trade, and that might come from hoping the shortstop the team would receive might be Reid Brignac or JJ Hardy.

The Mariners are losing ground in the AL West and it is time for fans to start looking ahead to better times. The trade deadline is a great time to get excited about the future, but one of the players of the future is about %60 done as a Mariner. The King will have two [...]

The trade deadline is fast approaching. Everyone has their personal holiday’s throughout the year. My sisters like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, some other friends like the Windemere Cup, and I like the MLB Trade Deadline. Unfortunately for me, the last few years have seen the trade deadline do more harm than good to my beloved [...]

Looking at the JJ Putz deal, the Mariners can certainly say so far so good. Even the loss of Endy Chavez for the season can’t put a real damper on the trade as a whole. Franklin Gutierrez has obviously been the best player in the trade, but Jason Vargas has been very nice in his [...]

Jack Zduriencik’s first draft for the Mariners has come and gone. There are quite a few curious things about this draft that I didn’t expect and some others that were quite expected.
Position Player Mania, Zduriencik and staff went crazy with position players. I really like this strategy, especially in this draft. The hype around this [...]

Dustin Ackley, I believe this has been covered.
Matt Purke, high school left hander with big bonus demands, could slip to the end of the first round.
Tanner Scheppers, hard throwing right hander who fits the athletic pitcher role.
Tyler Matzek, is currently falling down draft boards due to bonus demands.
Nick Franklin, a switch hitting shortstop that doesn’t [...]
