While the Mariners are off to a fine start, their lack of org depth is going to hurt them come August. Any injury to a regular and they are going to be irrelevant quick.

That’s not entirely true. They have depth in players like Paxton, Powell, Zunino, and Peterson, all guys that come August and September could be ready to contribute at the big league level.

Don’t forget Stefen Romero who is raking….I would also take Peterson off the list, he’s not ready.

Perhaps a blockbuster trade with the Yanks is in order which would increase the Mariners chances of making big run this year and increase the Yanks plan on rebuilding towards the 2019 free agency class. Maybe a Elsbury, Texiera, Pineda trade if Els and Tex waive no trade and Yanks eat some money and in return the Yanks get Adam Lind plus prospects back.
Makes sense on so many levels.
Pineda in that big park won’t get killed as much with long ball. Tex adds a defensive first base glove with power in middle of he order. Elsbury becomes the catalyst leadoff hitter this bumping Aoki or Martin out if the lineup.
Yanks have Lind keep first base warm until Bird is healthy and get a few decent not too but decent prospects back.
Ohhhh boy lets get this done!

Well, I was going to write out a long reply to why you’re crazy. But I can’t get past just laughing my rear off at you. Lay off the drugs.

The team that wants to get more younger and athletic gets older and fills up their pay roll

That’s some BigPapi level stuff right there haha! Maybe the Ms would take Tex off you since he’s only got a year and continues to contribute and can stay healthy, but don’t expect much more than that

Absolutely terrible idea, and wouldn’t happen

The only blockbuster trade I can think of the Mariners making is a trade for Votto, which I think would be giving up a lot of prospects a few years of Votto, Starlin Marte could be a good addition, trade Paxton, Luiz Gohara, Boog Powell and maybe more if the Pirates add more

Why are so many fan proposed trades so wildly off base? Never ceases to amaze me.

There’s a contest for who can propose the biggest trade that won’t happen. Didn’t you hear?

Stanton to Seattle, Walker and Paxton to Miami plus the whole AA roster and Miami throws in Ichiro for a nice little reunion. Crazy enough?

Forgot to mention Edgar coming out of retirement and plays shortstop again.
kingfelix34
I would do it but then who bats clean up

Except Edgar never played shortstop.
