Paul Sewald Traded........

The same voices, after a couple of losses, coming to tell us how right they are.

Personally, I was surprised to see him traded away, but, our pretend offense is way more problematic than our real bullpen and very real starting rotation.

Who is saying they were right? The team has been average all season long. Other than the recent winning streak. They're still in the mix. I just don't think they're a playoff team, that's all.

10-4 since trade.

10-4 since trade.

Sewald 2 saves 1 blown save since trade.

Sewald has now had 6 appearances for AZ. He's given up 0 runs in 5 out of the 6. Since his one bad outing, which was his 2nd appearance and 1st save opportunity for AZ, he's had 4 saves in a row. AZ is 4-1 in their last 5, with Sewald getting the save in each of those wins.

Meanwhile, the 2 high leverage relievers we still have left, Munoz and Brash, have been struggling. Munoz was clearly the plan to take over the closer roll, but he's now had 3 really poor outings in row including a blown save last night even though he had a 3 run lead. Brash had a blown save the previous night.

Not sure how much you follow baseball, or even the M's for that matter, but closer is kind of a critical roll. We don't have a closer anymore since we choose to trade ours away, and that has become a problem over the past several games regardless of their overall record since the trade.

Okay, never said a closer was not important. Like I said I am just stating the record, and how Sewald is doing. You are the one drawing all sorts of conclusions.

Mariners 10-4 Since Trade
Sewald 4 Saves (corrected) 1 BS since trade.

Can you give me some examples of these "all sorts of conclusions" I'm drawing?

Sure, I can.

The record since the trade is pretty irrelevant. I think when we had the win streak at 7, Candzone and Rojas were like a combined 3 for 21.

I’m fine with the trade. At the time, it made sense. The team didn’t look like it was going anywhere and Sewald was a prime trade candidate. If someone told Dipoto the M’s would immediately go on a huge run I don’t think he makes the trade.

 

[Chapow]

Sure, I can.

Please do.

For 2 average players and a minor league player. Not a fan of this deal. But, I guess we'll see how it plays out.

I’m not mad they traded Sewald as closers are a dime a dozen. The problem is they didn’t get enough in return for him.

The trade gives off the impression they did something just so the FO could check off a box on list and claim they tried to do something.

However in reality they could be in the same place or better, if they had done nothing.

Exactly.

I'd say the trade still stands neutral. I think Jerry had to do it though. They absolutely had to move on from Pollack and Wong.

jeryy could have bought a solid bat instead of selling like he did
