I was looking at trades the last year or two ago out of curiosity while waiting for the deadline and...wow.

The Reds absolutely fleeced the Mariners for Winker and Suarez.

Please do not look at the end result of the trades the Twins made at the deadline last year.

Brian Cashman is the greatest GM ever. Only he could take a team that should be top 3 every year like the Yankees and turns them into a fringe playoff team every year.

Connor Phillips is a decent prospect but reliever only.

Brandon Williamson and Jake Fraley have done really well in Cinci but were done in Seattle because of personal stuff -- IIRC Fraley was part of the Graveman/Seager anti-vaxx contingent who tried to convince every rookie to avoid getting the COVID vaccine for as long as possible (yes this happened).

Williamson idk, there was some rumbling with area guys that he wasn't going to crack the Mariners rotation due to work ethic/fit/timing stuff.

It's worked out for them in Cinci but Suarez alone was worth moving that package and they don't make the playoffs last year without Winker's 6 week hot stretch in June.

Dang didn’t know Seager was anti-vax dang it. Agreed Geno is a lot of fun, he’s been playing some top notch defense as of late and I got to be at the game when he walked it off in extras with a three run homer.

no one officially has talked about it but the story is that it was more Seager's wife and he was along for the ride than anything else.

it was probably a very large reason the team had no desire to bring him back after declining his option.

Huh that’s too bad. It was funny when an unnamed player was enraged at Dipoto for trading Graveman in the middle of a series & not bothering to tell the team beforehand, and it was obviously Seager.

Kinda related did not know Jean Segura was a bad clubhouse presence, helped to explain why they let him go so easily.

Well, we let Segura go because we got JP Crawford out of it. Penisaurus Rex is correct about the anti-vaxx stuff as far as I remember. The Graveman trade ruled especially hard when Toro hit a grand slam off Graveman.

Segura was a fight with Dee Strange-Gordon I think?

It's only the second most famous Mariners team fight after Marco Gonzales beating Mike Leake's rear end.

Pirates get international bonus pool money back. Might mean that Jonah Heim won't be back this year, which would be a big loss for the Rangers.

I liked Toro but the main thing I remember was his ability to do trilingual interviews when they were playing in Toronto.

And this time,

Flaherty is at least a starter, even if he isn't the big fish we were hoping for. Now to see if there are any last minute surprises.

E: I'm seeing Rom and Prieto? Prieto is one of our 8 billion middle infield prospects and at least fourth behind Gunnar/Westburg/Ortiz so that's hardly the worst thing to give up and Rom is an okay but not great starter who we called up for one game and didn't even end up using.

it's the most "we tried" deadline of the Friedman era

this team has more holes than any previous under him, and they've made the least impactful moves to fix them

They will now rely on:
-Kershaw coming back healthy and ace-like
-Urias figuring it out
-Gonsolin figuring it out
-Lance Lynn figuring it out
-rookie Bobby Miller

what could go wrong???
