Seattle Mariners: Be Careful MLB and Umpire’s Union, We Know What You’re Doing
Baseball is no stranger to conspiracy theories. This time around, Major League umpires are adding fuel to the fire that MLB doesn’t want the Seattle Mariners to reach the playoffs.
Come down the rabbit hole with me. I’ll show you Major League Baseball’s conspiracy to keep the Seattle Mariners away from their postseason.
UFOs are real. We can debate it all day, and still at the end of the day, the conclusion would be that you have seen one with your own eyes or you know lots of people that have seen a UFO. Maybe there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll. Perhaps Lee Harvey Oswald was an FBI scapegoat when he gunned down JFK.
Elvis, dead or alive? Jimmy Hoffa? Buried under the Meadowlands. The conspiracy theories could literally go on and on, but you know what has to stop? Major League Baseball’s commitment to keeping the Seattle Mariners out of the playoffs.
You read that right. Major League Baseball, the corporation is absolutely committed to keeping the Seattle Mariners out of the playoffs. Think about it, really think about it. Makes sense, right? Still skeptical? Okay, let’s lay out the proof.
During the offseason, the lockout, and all of that, the Seattle Mariners failed to sign anyone outside of Robbie Ray when there were so many options on the table, especially other starting pitchers. Oh, but wait, there’s so much more.
The M’s were spurned by or blocked from nearly every eligible free agent target on the market. The fans blamed Jerry Dipoto. But Dipoto pivoted and went the trade route to acquire Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez. So maybe that was a stretch, but what if I told you something that wasn’t.
Final Trade Details:
Mariner get:
• All-Star OF Jesse Winker
• IF Eugenio SuárezRed get:
• Justin Dunn
