Why Are the Mariners Ignoring the Outfield Market?

- On paper, the Mariners are more than solidified in their outfield with Julio Rodriguez, Randy Arozarena, Victor Robles, and Luke Raley. But with Raley's ability to play first and the designated hitter spot open for a rotation of the four aforementioned names, Seattle could make another outfield addition work. So why haven't we heard anything about the M's exploring the outfield market, especially when they've seemingly hit multiple dead ends in their attempts to land impactful infield help? Ty and Colby discuss that, as well as how Ha-seong Kim signing with the Rays could impact things for Seattle.

You can just remove "outfield" from the title.
January 29. 1 move (Solano). One
Trading for Robert Jr is probably the best move they can make at this point. They’re not trading a pitcher. All that talk of trading Castillo feels like smoke to make it seem like they were trying to make moves. Just get better!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A starting 5 of Robles, Arozaerana, Julio, Robert and Cal sounds pretty damn good. Plus we can keep robert healthy with an outfield, dh rotation.
Keep Garver as a backup catcher
Hanniger send him to the whitesox in the trade lol
They were trying to trade Castillo to invest money on a free agent roflmao 😂
Ahoy guys!!! Hoping the mariners make a big league move soon 😣💙💛
I get your point Colby but trading a guy like Like Raley with his upside and club control. Not interested in moving off of 5 years of Raley at a cheap price. He's a fan favorite and my favorite player on the team. I think he's a lock for a 30 30 type of season.
Raley .....a 30/30 guy? Are you kidding? No chance at all. Raley is just a guy. Nothing special at all.
@@diggitydog412 Raley is not just a guy he was literally one of their best hitters last year, can steal bags and play good defense. 30/30 is a stretch but he's better than league average.
@@npmeilleur you are a bit delusional. Fangraphs have him hitting .229 with 20 homers and 56 RBI. And a 1.5 war. He is JUST a guy. A guy you like to have on your team....but nothing special at all. Certainly not a guy who will go 30/30. It's funny that you think 30/30 is a possibility......maybe forgetting the park he plays in and the fact that he has never hit more than 22 HR's in a season and never stolen more than 14 bases in a campaign. I know you backed down off that.....but thats what made your glowing assessment so ridiculous in the first place. He is 30 years old....no spring chicken and he has 44 career HR's and 25 career steals yet you think 30/30 is possible. Hilarious really. Raley was #167 in the league last year in WAR. He was not and will NEVER be one of the leagues best hitters.
@ never said he was one of the leagues best, that he was one of the Mariners best. Not gonna read that novel but he had a 129 OPS+ last year.
The Mariners need to keep the focus on 1st base, now that Polanco is in the fold. Trade for Yandy Diaz in exchange for Hancock, Haniger & less elite prospect. He hits the gaps well and for higher average. On base over .400 in two full seasons. He's 33 not Justin Turner 40 or Carlos Santana 39.
Full agree on an outfielder, but they'd still need to get one of a full time 2b or full time 3b in my opinion. I wouldn't even care if it's Jorge Polanco.
Edit...you just illustrated another reason why Dipoto needs to pull something together or there's no way to justify keeping him. No significant moves = an abject failure regardless of what you think of his past work.
The Mariners are cooked , we have Randy who is washed , Luke Raley who is a worse Jay Buhner , and a front office that pays premium for aging talent.....
Call me a hopeless romantic. Love my Ms
Iglesias or lowe at 2nd moncada at 3rd.
I bet Bo Bichette can play oufield
Bring Willy Bloomquist out of retirement 😂
What are your thoughts on Jackson Merrill? He could play 2b and OF? What would that cost
Julio
@aidancornue2276 Friars would be fools to give him up for any Ms position player not named Cal or Julio.
Can Haniger play 1st?😭😭😭
Cronenworth…so more Polanco for 6 years?
He's better than Bliss/Rivas, and that's what really matters. Also doesn't seem to get hurt like Polo does and is projected to be a 2.1 FWAR vs Polo's 1.3.
The Ms are a sorry ass franchise
I would take the Cronenworth deal in a heartbeat. Then go to the Marlins, who desperately need to add $20 million in payroll and offer them Haniger and a couple of prospects for a couple of their infield pieces. They're all young and unproven but they should be willing to reset the clock with Jonah Bride and jettison Javier Sanoja along with Haniger in exchange for Ford, Farmelo, Peete, and Williamson
stop disrespect Mitch .He is legend here in Seattle
@hersent2 No disrespect to say that a cooked player is cooked. He was great for us his first stint in the club, and I will always admire him. But he is no longer capable of playing MLB level baseball.
Mariners are a disgrace!! Move to OKC for all I care!!!
I don't want to move there.
