December 11, 20187 yr Well if they want to take Prado, that would be great. What if Seattle wanted Lewis Brinson to match with Martin Prado?
December 11, 20187 yr Thinking about it, I’d really like Tulo, but I don’t know how much pull power we have as a rebuilding team. Hey we do have the beach.
December 11, 20187 yr Thinking about it, I’d really like Tulo, but I don’t know how much pull power we have as a rebuilding team. Hey we do have the beach. He may not find a starting job so easily so he may welcome a team like the fish.
December 11, 20187 yr Author Is Tulo still a SS only because acquiring Rosario would take Tulos spot.
December 11, 20187 yr Jeter is the mystery owner who met with Harper You should probably say when you're kidding cause some will think you're sharing news you saw.
December 11, 20187 yr Sources are saying even money both Machado and Harper go to the Yankees, who can easily afford both.
December 11, 20187 yr Author Jeter isn't a mystery owner, it's been very public that he bought the team.
December 11, 20187 yr Sources are saying even money both Machado and Harper go to the Yankees, who can easily afford both. Haven't seen that anywhere, all I have seen is Yanks aren't in on Harper. Who said that?
December 12, 20187 yr Would the Miami Marlins trade five years of outfielder Lewis Brinson and one year of utility player Martin Prado at $15 million for two years of Carlos Santana at $35 million? Steamer projects 2019 WAR of 0.8 in 122 games for Brinson, 1.2 in 130 games for Prado and 2.5 in 146 games for Santana. The Mariners would gamble that Brinson will turn things around.
December 12, 20187 yr Sources are saying even money both Machado and Harper go to the Yankees, who can easily afford both. When Judge hits arbitration, could you imagine having $110M+ tied up annually in only four players (none of which are pitchers)? That's crazy!
December 12, 20187 yr When Judge hits arbitration, could you imagine having $110M+ tied up annually in only four players (none of which are pitchers)? That's crazy! I think he was just making things up. Every report says Yanks have no interest in Harper.
December 12, 20187 yr Thinking about it, I’d really like Tulo, but I don’t know how much pull power we have as a rebuilding team. Hey we do have the beach. If anything, I think we'd have more, because from what I've read/heard, it sounds like he's not interested in a part-time role. And no contender is likely to give him constant playing time with how he's performed over the last few years. Would the Miami Marlins trade five years of outfielder Lewis Brinson and one year of utility player Martin Prado at $15 million for two years of Carlos Santana at $35 million? Steamer projects 2019 WAR of 0.8 in 122 games for Brinson, 1.2 in 130 games for Prado and 2.5 in 146 games for Santana. The Mariners would gamble that Brinson will turn things around. Why would they do that? I thought Brinson looked terrible and I wouldn't do that.

If it's a Prado/Santana salary swap, the Mariners would be the ones adding more (via prospects probably) for the ~$25 million extra we'd be taking on.

Why in the world would we do that? Santana provides zero value to us post 2020 when we plan on being competitive
December 12, 20187 yr Author I'd only imagine Santana as someone we can flip later plus he's still productive on the field and is considered a good leader and clubhouse guy. I absolutely can't imagine he would be here with the intent of running out his contract here.
December 12, 20187 yr It's more and more possible that this team would leave Las Vegas without making any trade or signing…
December 12, 20187 yr It's more and more possible that this team would leave Las Vegas without making any trade or signing… most teams haven't
December 13, 20187 yr most teams haven't But many teams made many moves already, what most abnormal was almost have no any rumor about our pursuit of the needs in the 1B, bullpen and veteran SPs.
December 13, 20187 yr If it's a Prado/Santana salary swap, the Mariners would be the ones adding more (via prospects probably) for the ~$25 million extra we'd be taking on. Steamer projects a 2019 WAR of 2.5 for Carlos Santana, who has two years and $35 million remaining on his contract. This year 2.5 fWAR was valued at about $20 million so Santana's contract is at least neutral even if Santana drops to 2.0 WAR in his second year. Steamer projects a 2019 WAR of 1.3 for Martin Prado, who has one year and $15 million remaining on his contract. This year 1.3 fWAR was valued at about $10.7 million so Prado's contract could well have negative value. Therefore, the Marlins would need to up the ante to even the trade.
