Mariners Interested in Donovan

[renostl]

I also read where they are interested in Romero, as well as Donovan. There just seems to be a lot the Cardinals have that they want. Question is how badly?
The Cardinals could add one or more minor leaguers to the deal to get the player(s) they want. Sloan has a lot of upside, as well as a few others, but no body real close to the bigs. Seems like there could be match here, if Seattle bends a little.

Let it build, it could be interesting.
Sloan seems like he could be a prize, might be obtainable. They brought up 2024's #1 this past season
he's kind of a Donovan of 5 years ago better runner, better arm. Cole Young.
Another poster here mentioned him; I had missed him.
Maybe he and Sloan for our 2.

I'd prefer Emerson also a moon shot.

Emerson is an untouchable after this past year where his defense at SS improved. Woo is their most valuable pitcher so he is not being moved. They are trying to extend Gilbert who has expressed an interest in a new contract. Mariners need another left hand reliever and will get one next week. Odds are Romero could be that one as he is reliable and won’t cost too much.
I would be not be surprised if there is a deal involving both Donovan and Romero but if just one is dealt to Mariners odds are it is Romero.
Mariners also interested in Marte and are willing to give up multiple top prospects for him. My guess is they will make a big bid for Marte. He fits their need for a big bat who can play second base and hits right handed.

Probably, so it's titled as such.

but they need to make that choice.
Every team asks for Seattle SP. Seattle will not get Marte without it costing a ready
to go SP, that AZ's motivation if giving up .283/.376/.517/.893 under a fresh
contract.

To this point they have reported the desire to keep their rotation. Marte fits, I agree.
To me, I think FA has the better options for them IF their rotation is off limits. Only money.
Montes and Ford aren't going to get what they want, neither is Young.

It will be interesting.

I'd imagine Bloom will look for Kade Anderson or Ryan Sloan. Otherwise, would hope he would look into other suitors.

If Seattle are willing to deal either of those then Marte is the one they would seek. He fits their current and future needs better for a left hand heavy team especially ongoing.

Donny + JoJo

Woo

Get er' done Bloom!

was just me having some fun and shooting for the moon.

I know.

Some of these returns for a very good player
in Donovan are moon shots and beyond.

I agree with this...and I'm probably the biggest perpetrator, as I started this thread. But, some people here are pretending we're trading Juan Soto with two years remaining

Yea some people think Donovan is valuable enough to be traded for top 3 prospects in all of baseball and the cardinals trade a utility player and and a catching prospect for tatis jr lol

They’ll get a 2nd tier, 3rd tier and a lottery ticket, somewhat akin to what they received for Helsley. The return for Donovan or if he’s even traded will be indicative of whether or not this is a rebuild or a tank job. If they trade Donovan for a meh return, it’s a tank job.

Trade negotiations 101:

Always ask for the Moon and then deal down from there!

The only player we have who could even possibly land Woo is, of course, JJW (of course I'd never do this) and even then you'd have to toss in JoJo just to get the M's attention.
