Mariners traded Stanek (RHP RP) to the Mets

i.e. - 40 man space is being cleared by Mariners for guys they think are expendable so they don't lose no one for nothing. Stanek is totally fine but expendable. I forgot Santos is back now and they just got Yimi. Guys gotta go.


This is what I would do if I were them.

RHP - Munoz, G. Santos, Yimi, Thornton, Snider
LHP - _____, Saucedo, Speier

A shut down lefty completes this puzzle.


This is an absolutely perfect Jazz/Scott landing spot based on last few moves Mariners have made. Absolutely perfect.

Jazz to the Yankees, per Rosenthal. Mish says three prospects in return.

Agustin Ramirez the headliner for jazz. As we said, he doesn’t have as much value as people thought he did. I mentioned Ramirez a month or two ago for someone else I believe, but he isn’t this can’t miss prospect. Good offense, not really a defender at all at catcher

[Namaste]

Agustin Ramirez. Yankees top Catching prospect

Who else is coming back? Saying (for the 47th time) that Jazz doesn't have much value without knowing if anyone else is coming back is something 12 year olds do.

This should do wonders for the fan base. Remember when i was given shit when I said the Arraez trade showed they were about to undergo a 3+ year rebuild

Nah, 12 year olds are more likely to deny reality and not take hints. Ramirez is the headliner

Ramirez is the headliner

WE KNOW THAT.

who else is coming along in the deal?

[sports24/7]

Interesting that they go power over hit tools on these last two deals with guys who have some swing and miss concerns.

Let’s see what else is in the deal, but on its surface, this guy as the headliner feels underwhelming.

[sports24/7]

Jared Serna reportedly is one of the others they got in the deal.

To note here as we wait as this seems crazy as he was a FV40+ preseason, Fangraphs did their midseason update and moved Ramirez to a FV45+ and 5th best Yankees prospect - https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board?org=nyy. Big midseason jump. Nice year AA and low BABIP AAA.

Jazz should be getting a FV50, FV45+, and a FV40 IMO, but if a FV45+ is the headliner, based on the FG scouting Arias/Lombard sure as hell better be player # 2, and anyone #8-17 on that list should be player # 3. Or, a real buy low on Peraza which would be interesting.

As I was typing this I see Serna is added. He should be player 3.

I agree. Underwhelming, but it might not be a total undersell but we'll see the final deal.

But for the catcher position, Mack is supposedly a plus defensive catcher and slamming right handers on his splits. Can't hit lefties at all. Ramirez is right handed. I think they are gearing up for those two being a platoon longterm and they can fight for the time against righties. It makes sense on paper to have a hit first right handed hitter with Mack as a power sell out/defense heavy left handed hitter. There is a vision here positionally FWIW.

No idea who this last guy is - https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ab...position=2B/3B

Unless he is a meteoric riser, the trades amount to Bendix over-valuing D. Head, DLS, and Ramirez as headliners versus the aggregation of scouting services. Hope he knows what he is doing.

I'd have kept Jazz versus this. It seems he has a plan though as Ramirez, Martorella, and DLS (maybe Marsee) are going to play a lot in 2025 with the way things are going.

So… like a 3+ year rebuild?

I think it's a 6-7 year rebuild once Bendix is fired in 2027 when this doesn't work out
