Red Sox (37-36) @ Mariners (36-34) Jun 9-11...

Go look at the players our front office has acquired over the past 2 off seasons, and how much they've paid them. They go about it differently, but they're every bit as incompetent as the Red Sox FO.

Did you know that the M's are paying Mitch Haniger $15.5 million to sit at home and not play baseball this year? Did you know that Haniger has the 3rd highest salary on the team behind only Julio and Castillo? Did you know that Garver has the 4th highest salary on the team, and that the M's are paying $28 million this season for him and Haniger combined? Did you know that $28 million is right about what it costs for a Mookie Betts, Vlad Guerrero, Freddie Freeman, Pete Alonso level player?

We can point and laugh at other teams all we want, but our front office is the poster child of incompetence. We were on the verge of being a very good team after both the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Our front office couldn't have screwed up that golden opportunity any worse if they tried. It's honestly shocking and amazing how badly they've botched the past 2 off seasons.

Anyway, whatever. Tridents up go M's lol.

Not only that, Wilson actually believes that Garver should be playing, still. That says a LOT.

Would you take rowdy or DAE Ho Lee?

It’s really bad. Plus in the Mitch haniger fiasco the mariners also ate like 8 million or something on acquiring and flipping Anthony deScalfani. I bet the Giants are still rolling on the floor laughing as Robbie Ray gets 50000 strikeouts

Definitely right near the top of the list of Jerry's greatest hits.

 

[Chapow]

I used to think we were just cheap, but the honest truth is we are more incompetent than cheap. And don't get me wrong, we are cheap, but incompetency far outweighs their cheapness.

Yep. It's amazing how many people still default to assuming the biggest problem is being cheap. It's not. It's gross incompetence at this point.

$12.5 million for a mediocre back up catcher / part time terrible DH. That also says a lot.

Even worse. It was 12.5 mill. For NOTHING! He just happens to be able to play barely enough catcher to save his job for now and justify 10% of his salary…. Fail

Ray was a turd out there in his second season here and then his arm went south,
what did you expect them to do?

Saying we play the 9th - 11th is a bold call

I know… but that only makes San Francisco laugh harder. We suck AND we’re unlucky

The incompetence by Trader Jerry is worse than the ownership cheapness. He keeps striking out on his beloved trades.

100%! He just isn't good at his job. never has been. But can talk a big game and keep it. He knows how to pick is teams though. M's ownership doesn't care about wins just attendance.

 

[Stanton Sucks]

Bases loaded, no outs, no runs. That folks is our Seattle Mariners.

Great outting for Gilbert... except.. we are trying hard to take over number one on bases loaded at bats at second now... Yet last in driving them in

Second in the league right now for Bases loaded at bats ... erph

 

[Goldfinger 007]

I better not comment on how pathetic the M's look against a mediocre Starter or it means I want them to lose.

If we dont grab Naylor at the deadline..Jerry should just hit the showers

I mean it is a business still.. if you make a profit for whatever product you provide... you win... Money is their win.
