The Gang is back together and it’s Chuck’s birthday!
The Mariners found their offense over the weekend, but will it last? They need to add a bat or two and after Ryan Divish and Adam’s sit down with John Stanton, Chuck firmly believes they will add at the trade deadline, but not early.
Is there even going to be anyone available the Mariners would be interested in? The Blue Jays, White Sox and Rockies have all said Vlad, Bichette, Robert and McMann aren’t available.
Pete Alonso’s name continues to be floated around, but a rental doesn’t seem wise, nor does it seem to fit with how this organization operates.
:30- One Series recap- we launched the Seahawks One Series yesterday with John Boyle talking about Devon Witherspoon.
How will he be utilized in this Mike MacDonald defense?
:45- The Mariners have added former National, Victor Robles. What do we know about him?
5 years ago, he was thought to be a can’t miss prospect and ranked ahead of Juan Soto, these days he has a .120 avg, .401 ops, but it’s only over 25 ABs.
What can he bring to the Mariners? A year ago, he was crushing lefties, but it was only over 33 ABs. That seems to be the role they are wanting to put him in as he’s already with the big club and Clase has been sent back to Tacoma.
And no, this is NOT their solution to the offensive woes, it’s someone they can get for cheap and preserve Clase.
