Seattle Mariners: Who Wants Playoff Pie? Look Inside For This Amazing Recipe
So Many Optional Spices that Could Make or Break This Playoff Recipe
There are other names available in free agency: Carlos Correa (no real spot for him, plus he’s a cheater and will command $300m plus and 10 years, no thanks), Freddie Freeman (Everyone and your brother believe he’s going to stay with the Braves, love to have him in Seattle, but not happening and no, I’m not your brother), Trevor Story (Unless he takes a contract based on his pathetic away from Coors statistics, definitely not), Nick Castellanos (Yes please), Michael Conforto (maybe?), Kyle Schwarber (Maybe?), Anthony Rizzo (Possibly? Especially if it brings in Bryant), Nelson Cruz (No, love him, but no), Eddie Rosario (Maybe, if the M’s don’t get Bryant than absolutely), Tommy Pham (Sorry, I laughed when I saw him as a top available).
But Wait, There’s More? Yes, We Must Have Icing on this Pie!
If the Mariners sign both Bryant and Suzuki? Well, I’m not saying to plan the ticker-tape parade yet, but start cutting up the confetti. Why? Because JD is a wheeler and dealer, fans can believe he’s going to start moving some prospects for pitchers.
Even if neither is signed, Dipoto still has all of this prospect capital to play with, and he can move it to get known quantities. The Seattle rotation, as we speak is Robbie Ray (please work out), Marco Gonzales (Ignore his first 10 starts of 2021), Chris Flexen (Some Muscle), Logan Gilbert (Grape, not Godfrey), and a starter to be named later. Justin Dunn, Justus Sheffield, a retread, some rando off the street? I don’t know.
