Writer Battle: Is Trevor Story a good fit for the Seattle Mariners? Both sides
Parting shots
Chris: Baseball has evolved into a game of three true outcomes, home run, walk, and strikeouts. Again, strikeouts suck, but it’s how they play the game is now. Batting .300 is becoming the exception instead of the goal.
@Joe Swenson, I’m glad you brought up Story’s stats away from Coors Field. Because to me, that is the biggest concern with Story coming here. Can he produce a T-Mobile Park?
Regarding the package the Cards gave for Arenado, I’d say it’s arguable about how good the players are. Austin Gomber was the best player, but even he is viewed as a middle rotation starter, if not a possible bullpen guy, from what I’ve seen.
Colorado seems to be a poorly run organization, it reminds me of how the M’s were run by Bill Bavasi and Jack Zduriencik. Now could be prime striking time for the Seattle Mariners to upgrade their offense and possibly their defense (depending on the package given to acquire him).
Joe: Trevor Story isn’t demanding a trade. That gives the Rockies more leverage, regardless of his performance. Sometimes a story is too good to be true, which is absolutely the case with Trevor Story.

Who do you think has the best take on Trevor Story, Chris, who thinks Story would be an asset to the Mariners’ infield, or Joe, who thinks Story should make like a mountain and stay in Colorado. Regardless, let us know what you think about Trevor Story in the comments.
