@@TouchingBasesPod recommend reading either Keith Law or Baseball America. Most analysts now have him as our number 1 prospect and it's not particularly close. Think infield Bryce Harper. We got very lucky getting him with the 22nd pick last year. In a re draft I have heard he goes in the top five.
A couple other names to look at. 1. Brenton Doyle 2. Brent Rooker. 3. Tommy Pham. A right handed outfielder who can platoon with Canzone or Raley would be great. Canzone is heating up and Raley has been great. Both have higher OPS's than Rodriguez. As far as 2nd base no worries we have Bliss.
Bliss has turned things around on the road. It's fun to watch, but the rest of the team seemed to have died. We have had one game where the team is awake and that was against the marlins. Brent Rooker is a strikeout disaster. I like him. But he is bad business in seattle. Doyle I could see but good luck with the Colorado front office. They probably couldnt handle the paperwork.
@@TouchingBasesPod Agree 💯 on Rooker. Checked his K rate and it's like 35% this year. Yuck! I'm a hard no on that as well. I'm really hate watching us striking out all the time and hope we move towards a more contact oriented type offense like the Guardians. One of the reasons why I don't want to part with prospects like Cole Young and Colt Emerson. Really pure hitters.
What up, Chad? Randomly, this video showed up in my watch queue. After reading your quick description of you and your videos I was immediately drawn to the fact that you are a fan of the Mariners, Padres and Diamondbacks. I thought I was somewhat of an anomaly because I’m a White Sox lifer(originally from the Chicagoland area) a Diamondbacks fan because I’ve lived in AZ for over 30 years, a Padres fan because I lived in San Diego for a little while and a fan of the Mariners because we used to enjoy Seattle but it’s turned into an enormous hell hole. Also, just for the purpose of this video, we actually were at the White Sox/Diamondbacks game last Saturday. Not sure how that adds ANYTHING to this video but….I obviously deemed it necessary and pertinent to the discussion. If Robert goes, I’d be cool with it if he went to the Mariners or the Padres(they came together for the Cease deal). I’m done rambling. Take care.
I don't see the padres adding him unless Machado gets hurt for the rest of the season. Mariners will have to overpay. Dbacks could go after him but not sure who they could give up.
I laugh at those who think Jerry Dipoto and Arturo Moreno would make a trade. Ryan Divish on the Puck Show this week said Jerry hasnt stepped foot in Angel Stadium since he left and Moreno in no way will help Jerry win anything. The proposed Vlad trade is way off. He is franchise face that will drive up the price.
That's not very accurate on vlad, he is a franchise face that they aren't going to extend when he asked for the soto level contract. He is very much expendable and a rental for the mariners.
You are right, I misspoke. He will UFA in 2028. But I also still am out on him because he is always injured. His hip has been an issue 2 years in a row now and his K rate is still higher than we want.
@@TouchingBasesPod im not really a numbers guy lol just from the info and reports and the few games ive gotten to watch, in my opinion i like emersons bat and ceiling. I think cole young is an all around safer player, i think he will bring back more from a trade. With the way the mariners offense is looking, i would keep as many bats as i can lol
@@TouchingBasesPod i agree. I dont think theres a team thats selling with a player or package that would be worth moving on from any of the top 3 to 5 guys. Maybe something changes by the deadline
@@TouchingBasesPodEmerson is already a top 12 prospect in all MLB. Rated by ESPN PANEL. Emerson is an all star caliber SA… Young will probably have to switch positions… young I trade, Emerson is the only prospect not available for me. Maybe Celestine as well.
do you not understand arbitration? cal is controlled for 3 years after this 😂 that contract is getting renewed at 3-6m for 2025. Had to stop watching this after that haha.
Cal a boras client and will not resign. He needs to be traded in the next 24 months. Logan will also need to be traded. You can not let them walk for nothing in 2.5 years.
@jasonpeters6600 The front office has been paying the core every year. Moore, Jrod, Castillo, and JP all in the last few years. It's very likely that 2 or 3 of Cal, George, Logan, and Miller get paid before they reach free agency. Quit acting like they spend no money, they just don't splurge on free agents, which is another conversation. This comment you're replying to was talking about the rookie contract and how this creator that did "hours of research" has no clue what it is. Wouldn't that be one of the first things you look up? I think Cal and Logan are super two eligible as well, which means another year of control if they are on top of the 6 years a team get on a rookie contract.
First of all cal isn’t a free agent until 2027 second of all he has been one of the worst hitters in the entire league the last 2 months so even mentioning an extension rn is ridiculous
Raleigh signed a 1-year contract with an average salary of $795,000. It’s worth noting that Raleigh’s contract is a pre-arbitration contract, which means that he is still under team control and has not yet reached arbitration eligibility. As a result, his contract is subject to change each year. There have been rumors and discussions about the possibility of the Mariners extending Raleigh’s contract. In August 2023, it was reported that the team was considering extending his contract, but nothing has been officially announced. Raleigh’s agent, Scott Boras, is known for not letting his clients sign extensions with free agency looming, which could make it more challenging for the Mariners to extend his contract.
If I can get Robert, and keep Emerson Celestine sand Ford. He’s a mariners. Yes they can have Hancock young Pete. Emerson is not tradable at any price for me. He’s basically Witt.
colt Emerson
is the most untouchable prospect in the system
Okay. Why?

Zavala was in the Geno trade, not the santos trade.
You are absolutely right. I'm not sure how I got that mixed up. But you are correct. Sorry about that.

Zavala is at AAA Tacoma .
He is DFA'd.
Add Danny Jansen in the Guerrero trade.
With just those 3? Probably need way more. They don't want kirk as their starting catcher.
