That escalated slowly.

Mariners were a really disappointing team this year.

Can the Mariners loan Nelson Cruz to the Orioles for the last month of the season now that Jack Z. is gone?
We all miss him!

Sad to say this… but it’s about damn time!!! Like Jack Z however it’s time so some new blood… this team is built to win NOW!!

The day after Mike Zunino was promoted to the majors was the ‘right time’ to fire Jack Z.

Was the Adam Jones trade before or after this guy?
Steve Adams
Bill Bavasi made the Adam Jones trade, which contributed largely to his exit from Seattle. Zduriencik replaced him.

This is WAY past due. The ownership team has always seemed willing to step up and get talent, recently Cano, Cruz without raping the future by leveraging the young extroardinary farm talent i.e. walker, paxton, hernandez, etc. But they simply required a GM to bring the right opportunities forward, as well as working closely with the coach to execute the game on the field.. Jack Z’s inability to get deals done, and other GMs unwillingness to work with him, coupled with his tendency to be one and done, vs continually being on task to make the team better as a daily activity had doomed the Ms since he’s been here. This was supposed to be “the year” with pitching intact, Cano, Seager, others, and the addition of Boomstick Cruz, this was going to be a great season!. Instead we witness major dissapointment, on-field concentration lapses, a closer who cant close, and severe coaching deficiencies. Anybody who watches this team closely knows the talent is here. we just need an operations team and GM that can light a fire when necessary, and get things done. Pat Gillick and Sweet Lou, where are you?!
Go M’s !!

Think you could have named his hits also Steve, like Taijuan Walker and James Paxton, not just his misses and one great pick in Seager.
Jack Z really should have made more hits than he did with the amount of high picks he had to work with over the years in Seattle, not to mention poor FA deals in just about every case of the ones he signed, other than Iwakuma.

His miss on Seager over pay of his extension. Seager is good but no way worth that contract he signed.
Steve Adams
Disagree there. Seager’s an outstanding player and one of the most underrated young hitters in the game. He’s in a bit of a down season, but a lot of that is BABIP-related (he’s only hitting .576 on liners — about 100 points below the league average).

Still not worth $100 million deal he signed. He is middle of the pack in offensive numbers for 3b. That is where Jack Z blew it. He over paid for players to limit his moves. Cano he over paid to get him to Seattle. Their problem is having 2 of the top 10 highest players on the same club. Between Cano and Felix there is half of their payroll. Next year Seager pay will have a big jump in pay.
Steve Adams
That’s fair. I elected to leave them off originally, because neither has solidified himself in the Majors to this point. But, both have reached he Majors and had some degree of success, so I at least added mention of them.

Mariners were a huge disappointment this year, the worst signing of all now plays for another team, Rodney.
Brixton
Hes one of the GMs that did some fine work, but did so many negatives, it just wasn’t enough.

Trader Jack can spend more time at Trader Joes now.
Alex Nelson
About time.. They need a GM that can get some consistency around the big guys in the middle of the lineup. Also in response to Seager.. he’s way overpaid.
go_jays_go
I would be remiss if the Mariners somehow signed AA to be their next GM. Honestly, if the Blue Jays lose AA, I’m going to switch teams.
everlastingdave
Even though he’d still deserve canning, this probably doesn’t happen if the Mariners were a few games better in 2014.
