Executing the front office's expectations to perfection! He probably just earned a handsome bonus.
They admit that every offseason when they refuse to sign any FA

Saw a perfect meme yesterday: WHEN I DIE, I WANT THE SEATTLE MARINERS TO BE MY PALLBEARERS SO THEY CAN LET ME DOWN ONE LAST TIME.

No because sometimes their plan is to win a few more games than that so thet squeak into the playoffs, and sometimes their plan is to lose a few more games so they arent that close to making the playoffs. But it will all average out to 54% over a large sample size. See it makes perfect sense!
(This is actually what their plan is.. management/ownership is such a joke)

It’s such a loser mentality. The goal should World Series. Nothing else

But look, now they have interest in trying.

And I have some swamp land for sale.
I mean.. the reality is... its a business and the goal is profit... period for the uppers
So we're going to just trade to get back someone that should have probably still been here?!
D-backs aren't trading Geno.
It's too late M's already messed up. Trading for a bat won't fix anything. They need multiple bats, and by multiple I mean half of the line up. What they did was replace .150 hitters with more .150 hitters while not signing a legit 1st and 2nd baseman. They could have survived with the current outfield but they fumbled the infield and DH positions, and by fumbled I mean completely took a shat. Tmobile is one of the biggest outfields in the league yet they are 29th in doubles. Team can't hit. Now that the pitching has taken a step back, forget about it. All this has happened while Dylan Moore continues to get playing time.

True, but some teams (probably most) also care about winning. The M's are perfectly content not winning a damn thing ever as long as the team is still profitable.

Yep. These are things that should have been addressed in the off season, but as usual, they weren't. Everyone knew that 1B, 2B, 3B, and DH were desperate needs. They were talking about the M's on one of the shows on MLB Network late in the off season and they were basically beside themselves at what the M's did. Completely perplexed. They just couldn't wrap their heads around a team that had a chance to be good just not even trying to get any better and completely ignoring such obvious, glaring needs.

I actually believe they will. He is a free agent after the year, and they don't seem to be going anywhere. They will want to recoup some of that money lost in the Corbin Burnes signing. Same with Naylor.
I don't want M's trading for anyone. Jerry is not the guy to do it and now isn't the time to build a playoff roster. Get rid of Jerry and wait for the offseason with hopefully a capable replacement.

Signing this slugger would be a solid start toward improving our batting line-up:
