Let the Mariners' fire sale commence.

wasn't smith traded to seattle before and then was immediately dealt to TB?

Yeah. Braves got Gohara for Smith that day I believe.

Wonder if Dipoto now uses Mallex to fill the void of C now. Never ending cycle.

 

[JWK]

I love Dipoto

Smith had a nice year last year and is under club control for 4 more years. Seattle should absolutely keep him.

The Mariners fo is stupid. Just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks while filling one hole by opening up another.

Dipoto reminds me of a kid playing an mlb video game with too much time on their hands. Just making trades to make trades.

Yeah I thought the same until people started breaking down his numbers away from The Trop (I think it was).

 

[PG Canuck]

Mallex feels like Dee 2.0, except he actually plays CF. Now we need a catcher....and we just traded one who won a defensive award. Ugh.

39 total xbh's for a guy that had over 540 pa's and has the speed he does isn't great at all.

He does defend well and steals bases, I'll give him that.

Dipoto was getting jittery. Couldn't stand waiting 2 months to make a trade.

And I'll take what Zunino does over that anyday. Zunino was a really good catcher and helped the pitchers on this team reach new levels. I'm not so sure how a CF was needed so bad to deplete your catching role, unless something else is on the horizon. I'm assuming so because Dipoto loves to trade.

Could see them going after a free agent like Lucroy or Ramos.
