The wild card round is over and four teams have been eliminated. We're going to pick through each team's roster to see what can be of interest to the Mariners this off season coming up.

On today's show, we're going to pick through the rosters of the four teams eliminated in the wild card round this week. That would be the Phillies, Cubs, Red Sox, and Astros to see what could be of interest to the Mariners this offseason. And be sure to stick around until the end of the show or we'll tell you about our new merchandise release. But to kick things off, I think the

only appropriate way to start here, Colby. So with the Astros and a roster that frankly had no business playing playoff baseball this year, but the Mariners really only have themselves to blame for that. This Astros roster, Colby, is older. It's top heavy. It's just not very good. And I'm not really sure how many of these guys are actually realistic options for the Marys to bring into the fold here.

there's a couple of them this astros team is really at a crossroads right now and uh they're at least to my eyes really only one path forward they need to rebuild or at least kind of do a soft reset because altouvae is is there and his contract counts and you have one more year left of of christian walker who seems to do very well against the mariners but nobody else uh so you know and they just they have an old aging roster. The core is, you know, has aged out. Yordon's still great and probably shouldn't trade Yordon, although they probably should listen at least.

They should listen on Hunter Brown. But neither of those guys are getting traded to the Mariners. But there are a couple of guys who could be traded to the Mariners because they have one year left. The Astros haven't at least publicly made any progress on any kind of extension or yet. We don't even know if they want to extend either of these guys. The two guys that make the most sense are pretty easily. Esauk Paredes and Jeremy Pena.

Yeah. Almost said Jeremy Lane. So yeah, Jeremy Paynea. Uh, Jeremy Lane shout out on the show today. Wow. That's crazy. Like northwestern state or whatever, but, uh,

yeah, I don't remember. I was something like that. Southwestern. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, uh, yeah. Jeremy Pena also went to the University of Maine, uh, which is a weird baseball

school, although the home of America. or legend icon, some would say, Bill Swift. So there you go. Anyways, yes, Jeremy Payne, you guys know all about him. Good hitter, good defensive shortstop. Just a really good four or five, six win player most years. It's for a pretty good average. It doesn't walk a ton, but he's a really good player.

And you get him for a year. He solves the shortstop problem and may possibly be the shortstop long term. If you can get him done to an extension, you can't factor that in to the trade cost, obviously, as we always say, but Pena is a right-handed bat. That just makes a ton of sense. And so, too, does Isok Paredes, who is, you know, a guy who we've talked about a lot over the years. And while the power may not play perfectly well at T-Mobile Park because, you know, obviously

the Marine there and all that, and he doesn't hit the ball especially hard and he hits the ball in the air a lot, you don't care if Paredes hits 15 home runs instead of 25 if he's also going to give you above-average defense, which he does, and he's going to hit for a high average and he's going to walk and he's going to get on base. He's going to do all those things. So Paredes and also by the way, can play some second, can play some first, play third. So there's some versatility there.

These two guys are both right-handed bats that would hit, you know, somewhere in the top or the middle of this current lineup and they both are rentals. They're not going to be super cheap because they are right-handed bats and the league is desperate for right-handed bats, particularly ones who can play shortstop or third base. But they're also only going to get a full year. you're only going to get one full year from and maybe not even a full year.

I mean, relative to how many games are played next year, you'll get a full year. But you're probably not going to get 162 out of them. So, yeah, these two guys definitely make a lot of sense. And, you know, will the Astros trade in division? Yeah, I think they will. If, you know, if they are kind of doing this like rebuild, reshuffle thing, I think they would. And I think they can get pretty good value from them. And there are very few teams who have a better farm system than the Mariners to go out and try and find value from.

So, yeah, both of these guys definitely on the list, definitely should be discussed this offseason. If the Astros are entertaining trades on both of these guys or even just one of these guys, the Mariners should be involved in those discussions. Another guy here who's going to be hitting free agency out of the Astros bullpen, Brian O'Brien-A-Rue. I think he'll probably wind up in a price range that the Mariners are not willing to go to. Obviously, it was a very rough start to the season for him, but turned it around. wound up finishing in the year with a 373 ERA, 462 FIP, 11, 49, KS per 9. Walks were still very high, 5, 8, 9 walks per 9 for Abraeu, by far a career high for him in that regard.

But yeah, Brayu, depending on where his market lands, could be an option for the Mariners. So, again, I think he might wind up in a price range that they're just not comfortable going to, especially with all the money they've already dumped into their bullpen. but we'll see how they kind of shift that around over the course of the winter. He was elite after basically like May 15th though, like right back to being like the, you know, super high leverage eighth inning type of guy that he has been. But yeah, I'm with you.

I don't think they're going to go, you know, eight, nine, ten million bucks to sign him with the money they're already spending in the bullpen. There's other bylaws that we might see them like Benet Suza, who had a rough weekend or a rough, you know, a couple days there. I mean, he would be a perfect. fit on the Mariners now that he's like he's pissed off uh astros fans seems like a change of scenery is probably necessary for him uh and it was not good this year at all yeah he was really good last

year he'd have to be traded uh he's still under club control through 2029 right but again very good year last year this year not so much so that would be a by low maybe you could buy low on a jake meyers is kind of a fourth outfielder yeah he fractured his knee this month though or last month so yeah so obviously see about that. All right, coming up, we're going to look at the Red Sox, the Cubs, and the Phillies. But first, a reminder of this episode of the Locktime Marist podcast is brought to you by Fanduel.

leave us a five-star review. It only takes a few seconds and really helps us out. So just talked about the Astros roster. Now let's dive into the Red Sox roster. or the Red Sox who I think they're the favorites to sign Randy or Rosarana going into the offseason. So there's a Mariners Red Sox offseason connection right there. But in terms of Red Sox going to Seattle, is there anyone that stands out? I don't think so.

Not really. I don't think they're going to go down the Jaron Duran rabbit hole, even though he's probably, he might get not tendered. I just don't think they're going to do that. Willier Brave is not going to be available. Raphael is not going to be available. Trevor's story, if the Red Sox want to eat down, like take out most of that contract.

Maybe the Mariners have liked him in the past, but he just hasn't been healthy. So, no, Caleb Durbin destroyed the Mariners, but kind of doubt they're going to trade him. They're not going to trade contraris. I don't know if I want contraris now. He just seems like too much of a headache to me.

Yeah, I just, I don't see a lot. Garrett Whitlock would be awesome to add to the bullpen, but he had a really good year and he's got two team-friendly options left. And so I don't really see that. So no, I looked at the Red Sox and I didn't come away thinking there was really all that much that made a lot of sense. I mean, like, you know, we did the whole Tristan Kossis song and dance for the last couple of winters. That's dead. So, yeah, it just there's not a ton here.

A couple pieces in the bullpen, Justin Slayton maybe. but yeah, I just, I don't really see much of a fit between these two teams unless, you know, the, the Red Sox are willing to go a little nuts to acquire like George Kirby and like all of a sudden, Raphaelah is actually available or something like something crazy and unforeseen like that. But yeah, just on the surface, no, Isaiah Connor Folefa is a free agent. Maybe we talked about him a little bit as is kind of the stop cap short stop. But now, you know, I just, I looked at this roster. and there's always like

one, like, yeah, you know, maybe, maybe Justin Slayton, maybe Garrett Whitlock is available. I don't think they're going to go down the Duran, especially if they're going to try and reset their clubhouse culture. But I guess there's a possibility that that could work. And I don't think they're going to do Durbin. And then there's like the role, like Nate Eaton, maybe.

You know, he's a guy who actually provides some defensive value and hits lefties. Yeah. And also the I've forgotten his name. The other platoon bat who just never really got help. Romy Gonzalez. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe there's a smaller trade for like a Romy Gonzalez or Nate Eaton or someone like that. Jemai Jones, maybe. Yeah, maybe. He's under club control, right? I don't know.

Fangraphs keeps, Fangraphs keeps making me verify every time I go to a new page. He's probably getting non-tintered if he is because he was. because he went like five for his last 50 10 the year. Yeah. He was pretty good with the Tigers last year though. Yeah. I remember that.

Kind of a minor loop for agent type. Yeah. Again, like if it's eaten, if it's Jones, if it's one of those guys, you're just kicking the tires, seeing what's there on one of those guys. Yeah.

And then even like in the bullpen, like even if it's someone like Justin Slighton, I mean, like he's been on the IL with elbow inflammation since August. So who knows what's going on there. So yeah. Yeah. So I don't really see much here with the Red Sox.

The Cubs, that's been a team that we have talked about a ton over the last couple years over the last couple off seasons, mostly because of Niko Horner. Well, he signed that extension. So now that idea is out the window. Ian Hap, though, is a guy that you mentioned to me a couple times, just kind of off air. And he's becoming a free agent this year. So is Sayas Suzuki, obviously. Both of those guys, I think could be options here for the Mariners, as I think, could be options here for the Marin's as. look to replace Randy or Rosarana's presence in the lineup.

Though, again, just kind of wonder, like, how much are they willing to spend on a free agent bat like that? Are they willing to give out another Josh Naylor contract? Because that's about what it's going to cost to get Say a Suzuki, maybe a little bit more, but like. And are they willing to do that on a guy that they haven't had in their clubhouse before? Right. Right.

So is ownership willing to cut the check? I think we know the answer. But because there's because there's just no precedence for that right now. Say Suzuki is a really good fit though. He actually played good defense this year for like the first time of his career. He's a good hitter. He's very much Randy. Like Randy gives you more base running value.

Suzuki gives you better defense. So like, but that is kind of the idea. Right. Like, hey, let's replace Randy, 2025 Randy or 2026 Randy with 2026. Sayah like pretty good players, right-handed bat. You just professional hitters who have. have pop. So I think that would be like like of all the guys who are out there that I think actually could sign with the Mariners, which is why I'm not including Randy here. I think say it makes

the most sense, but also there's obvious, you know, flaws there. Hap is is definitely a pillow contract guy that you would want to sign to a one-year deal. But how many pillow contract guys choose Seattle? You know, like it's probably not, but he is an elite defender in left field, or at least he has been throughout his career. He still hit 20 home runs this year. Still runs pretty well. The strikeouts really got out of hand this year. So, you know, how much do you want to bank on that going down?

He didn't hit left-handed pitching at all this year, even though he's a switch hitter. So that's another strike against him. And again, the whole like pillow contract thing. It's like, is he going to sign a one year, you know, $12 million prove it deal in Seattle? It's not really the type of pre-agents the Mariners get. but perhaps still a pretty good player despite the flaws and the mayor should at least consider him

because they do need help in the outfield and he's a really good outfielder. So that is somebody they should probably at least consider. The guy that actually stands out to me the most here is Tyrone Taylor. No. Yeah. No. Thirone Taylor had himself a career year this year. I had to play 279, 325-502.

He crushed left. He was actually pretty good against Ritey's as well, 102 WRC Plus against Ritey's. And he's always been an excellent outfield defender and play all three spots. So I would love the Tyrone Taylor idea here for the Bears. I think on the lower end. I think Tyrone Taylor is a really good guy to go get if the plan is for Arroyo to be the primary left fielder. Because then if Arroyo does fail, it's like, okay, well, we'll just roll Taylor out there every day. probably struggle a little bit against

Rides. He's done that most of his career. But he'll crush lefties. He'll be a plus defender. He's a pretty good base runner, too. So, yeah, Taylor, I think he's going to make a lot of sense that probably going to end up in one of our offseason plans, which we're going to start hammering out in a week or two.

There's a decent chance he probably makes the master plan. So we'll see. But yeah, Tyrone Taylor is a guy who stood out to me as well. Pre-agent. So who knows where that market's going to go. But yeah, he fits Seattle pretty well. Yeah.

And then obviously Clay Holmes is becoming a free agent. Kevin Gossman's becoming a free agent. So there's going to be openings in that rotation. This could be a George Kirby destination or just a destination for one of the Mariners starters. And so, you know, the obvious Matt Shaw, Pedro Ramirez, all those guys could be options there. It would almost certainly be Matt Shaw, who we've talked about a lot. And obviously there's off-the-field stuff and there's clubhouse stuff that the Mariners kind of have to decide whether or not that's important to them or not. You know, and whether or not a 22-year-old can mature and learn from mistakes in the past or not.

So, yeah, it is Matt Shaw, obviously is kind of the one guy that would immediately jump out to most Mariners fans because we've talked about them so much. It's particularly last summer. And yeah, that does make some sense as a, you know, part of a George Kirby trade package. It would cost more than Shaw, obviously. But Pedro Ramirez also, there's a bunch of prospects here that makes sense. But again, we're not really focusing on the prospects. We're looking at major league talent. I'll throw out one name that I don't think is, I don't even think the Mariners are going to be, like, looking at this guy.

But I do think Michael Bush is worth mentioning here. here. Okay. He's first base, D.H. Uh, but he does have some experience playing second and third. It's been a while. Do the Mariners want to risk that at third base? I doubt it. He's also a lefty bat. So it's just like not a great bit, but he's a good player. He's a good hitter. And, and the Mariners need good players, you know, overall more than anything else, they need more players and good players. And Michael Bush is a good player. So again, I don't think it's likely, but I think it's worth throwing his name out. We don't need to spend too much time on him. but I do think that's a name worth, you know, just filing away the back of your mind.

And maybe the Mariners think he can't play third or maybe they're okay going with more of a, you know, permanent DH type. And then he's a, he's a good player. He's at 35 home runs in a season before. He's probably going to hit 20, 25. He's a good fit for Team Mobile Park. Just overall pretty solid player. So, yeah, the Cups have a decent amount of options here, both in terms of free agents and a couple of trade potential, potential trade chips.

So, yeah, the Cubs and the Mariners, they line up okay. So maybe keep an eye on this match up in November.

So lastly here, Phillies, another team that you and I have talked quite a bit about. And there are some names that have been rumored around the Mariners over the last couple years that are suddenly, going to be available. One in particular, Alec Bome is going to be a free agent. And we have heard a ton about Alec Bome over the last couple of off-season connected to the Mariners. Just never

happened. He never got moved. And this year was a particularly good year for him. And I have been very open and saying that I'm not a, I'm not a Alec Bome guy. I'm not a fan. This year, 249, 315, 383. He had a big home run, obviously in game two

of the World Card series. But, yeah, in 90 WRC plus. He was a bad defender this year after two, you know, pretty solid defensive years, uh, regress in, and,

and, in that regard this year. And yeah, just didn't do anything with the bat either. Hit 15 home runs. You know, he does a strike out, doesn't really walk either.

I just, there isn't anything that Alec Baum does that I just, I'm, I'm interested in, really. He's kind of national league Ryan Malkastel where you're like, eh, okay,

I guess. Like don't get gaslit though into thinking that Alec Bohm is a good choice. All right. He's not. He is the backup options of backup options. He is the chicken tenders of free agency. We're just like, I mean, like I guess at least I know it's decent. But yeah, no, you shouldn't settle for that.

But yeah, he will inevitably be talked about just because we know the Mariners have had at least some level of interest in the past. Isn't that the guy that the Dombrowski wanted Logan Giac? Gilbert for. Yes. Yeah. Like, now they're going to let him walk and he's probably going to get like a one year. Wasn't there a report that the A's asked about Bome and he asked for Mason Miller or the Padres?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe like, maybe like maybe like you ask and they're like, ha, ha, ha, what do you really want? But it just kind of goes to like how like, Bome's going to sign like a one year deal for like $8 to $12 million this winter. maybe maybe he gets a second year but he's just he's he's fine he's fine he's an average player

at major in major league baseball and average players have value they they do you know and and it wouldn't be a sexy addition whatsoever and again it would be like rather disappointing if this is the guy they they rush to sign and get you know locked in early and just be like this was plan a huh they'd be rather disappointing but yeah plan C plan D like you know you know do worse, but I really hope they try to do better. Yeah, the other guy that we've talked quite a bit about is Edmundo Sosa, who he's going to be a free agent as well coming off of a down year offensively. And he's a guy that just has never walked in his strike.

He struck out a fair amount as well in his career. 247, 283, 429 this year, just an 89 WRC plus, but he had a 110 WRC plus in 2025 101 the year before that. he's always been a pretty good defender who can play multiple spots including short stop. Yeah. Stop gap guy. You know, just put him on the roster.

He's an everyday player until Colt Emerson's ready. And then once Emerson's ready, if he ever does get ready, then you have a guy who can play second, short, third. He's, he's Dylan Moore at that point, which, boy, the Mariners could have used a good Dylan more this year, couldn't they? Soa, probably one-year guy, probably a pillow contract type of guy. he I believe sure seemed like he strained his groin pretty significantly in game two and I don't know if that's going to require surgery or not but yeah so this is a really interesting guy and you know I've had my eye on him for a while and I think he fits really well as a bench guy and again if you're we're going to spend a lot of time this winter talking about

that stopgap shortstop particularly one that has value if Colt Emerson comes up and performs right away that you can move them around, Sosa's going to be in that bucket. So he does make a decent amount of sense. Do they call the Phillies and ask about Yon to run? I think the Phillies probably should consider trading Duran because they're better than the Astros, but they're kind of like in a similar boat where it's like, look, this core is just aging and aging and we have so much money invested in them.

There's no like real quick out to get out from, you know, Harper. And it's again, Harper and Shore were still good players. It's not like they're Albatross contracts, but they're older. You know, and they're, they're getting more limited. And Trey Turner had a disastrous year and like Nola's money and all like, Wheeler's older. Like, this is a very old core that's still more talented.

But clearly they're kind of going in the wrong direction. They should consider trading Duran. So I think you should ask them. But I just, I don't know how much I want to deal with Dombrovsky. And his, like he'll legitimately ask for Kate Anderson and that is laughable, you know,

and that the Mariners should trade Kate Anderson. So not necessarily the ask, but like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's only good. It's like, well, from the bearers standpoint. So. But Nebraska will ask for it and whatever. I just, I don't know about I, I've almost rather try it prime Mason Miller away from the Padres. That seems like that would be even more realistic, despite costing more. But yeah, they should, they should call at the very least they should call and have a conversation.

Somebody in that bullpen that I could see them acquiring though. Oh, Ryan Kirkering. Yeah. Who seems like a change of scenery guy. He got left off of the Phillies playoff roster, got demoted late in the year, just really been sliding down. He had a great 2024. He had a pretty good 2025.

He made that disastrous air that eliminated the Phillies, though. And then, yeah, 2026 just kind of imploded on him. But the stuff is still really good. Like filthy spin rates on the sweeper should probably throw the four seamer a little bit more. It's actually a pretty decent pitch. So yeah, maybe it's a tweak in how they use them. He's got that low arm angle the Mariners like. So, yeah, Orion Kirkering as a kind of a buy low bullpen addition,

who has the possibility of returning to that high leverage dude that they really need, the dog that they need in the seventh inning. Kirkring could be that guy and you probably come pretty cheap at this point. And you get him for three years if you turn them around. So, yeah, I would take a look at Kirkring. Jose Alvarado is another guy. He's a free agent. Yeah, he's a free agent.

Now, he hasn't been the same dude since he got popped for PEDs last year. It was a bit of a down year. 586 ERA. Three or two FIPP though. And he did still strike out a fair amount of guys this year. 10.8 case per nine. 478 walks per nine though this year, which. Kind of live with it if you strike out enough guys and you get enough ground balls.

But yeah, that would be another by low. He doesn't, he didn't get ground balls. 34.6%, but yeah. No. But yeah, that's another by low guy. Like, hey, that's the third guy I bring into my bullpen. I'm okay, like, you know, betting on a bounce back from one of those two guys.

I just hope that there's two more like solid guys. He'd bring it in front of them. I would throw Brandon Marsh in there as like maybe. Kick the tires on them. Sure. Yeah. Might as well. You'd have to trade for them, unless they don't tend to them, which they might. Yeah, they might.

But again, like, if Michael Arroyo is going to be my left fielder, do I feel okay enough about Brandon Marsh kind of being like the backup, like the emergency or not a merge, like the, you know, the, whatever, whatever. The governor there to kind of like ease my, yeah, I think I do enough to be like, okay, we'll give Arroyo a shot, see how that goes. But yeah, I just, there's some things on this Philly's roster, not a ton. Yeah. But, yeah, it's, there's definitely some conversations worth having, that's for sure.

All right. So before we get out of here, you know, I talked to you guys a little bit at the end of yesterday's episode about our new merch drop. Some of you have been asking us for merch for a long time. And I've kind of like pushed it off and off and off. But I finally got my butt in gear here and put it all together.

The t-shirts specifically are unisex. And they fit true to size like this. I wear a large. This is a large. This thing. It fits perfectly. It fits really well. around the arms.

So if you want more of like a baggy feel or you want like a little bit more of like an oversized feel, then yeah, go up a size, maybe even two, honestly. But yeah, like these are actually like really like nice quality because, you know, back when we started up our Patreon and we had a merch store for that like years ago, we used T-spring. And I think they printed those things on like gilden teas or whatever. And it was like very cheap feeling. the screen printing on like the inside of the shirt.

Well I've gotten obviously I've gotten some of the shirts already that we're offering from fourth wall and yeah, they don't have a weird chemical smell. They're actually a really nice quality and the the shirts that they use. I forget what the brand is here. Hold on. I have the I love Thanksgiving shirt here.
