This is Fan Fiction Friday, the show where you submit your Mariners trade proposals and we grade them on the 2080 scouting scale. 20 being the worst, 80 being the best, of course. Let's get into them. Let's start here with Switch. Mariners receive Spencer Steer from the Cincinnati Reds for Bryce Miller, Trent Thornton, and Alberto Rodriguez.

Colby. Yeah, it's not bad. It's certainly not bad. But it does seem like it's, you know, not my cup of milk. But I think that the issue I run into here is I think Miller for Steer, which is appropriate. I feel like that's pretty fair balance. I'd probably prefer Miller, but, you know, Steer certainly had a pretty good year last year. And there is some perceived versatility, you know,

When you're bad at multiple spots, people still think you're versatile. But yeah, it's an interesting idea. But you do also lose a year of club control. Steer gets a full year of service time this year, whereas Miller doesn't. So it'd be six years of Miller for five years of steer. And I just, like I said, I think that's fine. But then why are you, you know, like, why are you giving up more than Miller to get steer? That to me doesn't make a lot of sense.

And granted, you're not giving up a ton. Like Rodriguez and Thornton, they're not super difficult pieces to replace. And they're not carrying that much value to you right now. But still, you don't want to overpay just for the sake of overpaying. And, you know, if the Reds are coming to me and saying like, hey, we want Bryce Miller. And you say, okay, give me Spencer Sear. And they say, well, what else are you going to give us? Because that's too much.

Then I'm saying, well, then I guess we need to be talking about Matt McLean. because that's a guy who I'm willing to add a little bit to on Miller to get. I'm not willing to do that for steer. I think Miller for steer straight up is totally fine. But I probably honestly still prefer Miller. So you're overpaying, but it's not a drastic overpay. You know, you're throwing in extra players that probably shouldn't be in the deal, but maybe have to be.

So like, like, if I saw that deal come across the ticker, it'd be like, okay. Like, I understand what they're trying to do. but wouldn't love it, but I'd understand what they were doing. So overall, the trade is fine. I just, I feel like if anything, the Reds need to be adding these type of pieces on their side to match value. But overall, I would say 40, 45 somewhere in that range. Like, it's certainly not bad. Okay, I'm going to say this again and again and again until the day that Bryce Miller or Brian

Wu eventually get traded, if they ever do get traded. Bryce Miller is one of the few players that are feasibly available this offseason that represent the most valuable commodity in all of baseball, which is young, affordable, controllable, starting pitching, who has already established himself a little bit in the league and has already flashed middle of the rotation stuff. That's very valuable to me. Six years of club control for five of Spencer Stier,

really good hitter. Don't get me wrong. Really good hitter Spencer Steer. But he doesn't have a defensive home. He posted a negative 17 outs above average across the board this past season. That's terrible. It's just, look, it's fine. If they traded Bryce Miller for Spencer Steer, I'm not dragging Jerry DePoto over that and Justin Hollander. I'm not. It's a fine deal. It's a fine move, if you will, Colby, right? Right. But it does feel weird to me that with everything that I've just said, the Reds, or sorry, the Mariners rather are the ones adding additional pieces. Not that I think that Trent Thornton and Alberto Rodriguez really anything. But to me, it's just weird that the Mariners, who to me are giving up the more valuable piece here are giving up more. They're

more to the deal on their side rather than the Reds. That to me feels a little bit backwards, but I think this is fine. It's a farty. So next trade from Daisy and the Dingo. It's another Reds deal.

M's get Christian incarnacion Strand and Jorge Polanco. Reds get Brian Wu. And the twins get Connor Phillips. So essentially the Mariners are trading Brian Wu for Christian and Carnacion Estran and

Horan. Polanco Colby what do you think about that deal? I don't quite get it. Why would the the twins trade Polanco for Connor Phillips? You know, I don't understand. Why are, and why wouldn't the Reds, like, if they, the Reds are trading Connor Phillips, why wouldn't they just go trade for, like,

Max Kepler instead of Polanco? Polanco goes to the Mariners. I just don't understand, like, how the Mariners get Brian Wu, and they turn them into two players when they're only giving up one. I don't think Wu carries that kind of value. I think in Carnaccio and Strand for Wu is something that, you know, the Reds might consider. But to me, I don't think the twins are getting enough here to give up Polanco. So I don't think that the Reds would give up in Carnacio Strand and Phillips just to get Wu. I feel like there's a piece missing in this deal.

And I think it has to come from Seattle's side. It doesn't have to be a, I don't think it has to be a significant piece, but like, I don't know, Emerson Hancock, maybe Jonathan Clase. Like, I don't think it's an elite prospect or anything like that, but I do feel like it's a little high in the sky for the Mariners. But then again, you know, the twins are dumping payroll, apparently. They're trying to. They have some depth in the infield now, so Polanco might not fit all too well. But I would honestly bet that the twins would look at that and be like, okay, but we can get more for that.

can get more than that for Plonco. So how about instead we give you like Kyle Farmer at which point doesn't really make a lot of sense for the Mariners. So I just feel like this, this deal is a piece off. Like you're missing a piece. Either something needs to be changed or somebody needs to be added. But it's a three team deal. And those are definitely harder to maneuver than a two team deal.

So overall, I think I'll go, I don't know, 40. It just doesn't really, really doesn't pass the sniff. to me. Yeah, I was somewhere in the 40 to 45 range. Let's call it 42. Yeah, good one. Yeah, it does feel like a piece off from the Mariners side of things. I get that the twins are reportedly trying to shed some payroll and Polanco's an obvious candidate for that along with Max Kepler because they're on shorter term deals and they're making a fair bit of amount of money. I don't know if Connor Phillips though necessarily moves the needle for the twins enough

he's interesting don't get me wrong interesting arm but he is but I do wonder like is he is the type of arms the twins want to take a shot on yeah maybe maybe not I don't know enough about the twins but you know I also I also wonder like what do you do with all these infielders right you throw Polanco into the mix you throw incarnation strain into the mix. You already have France.

You have Rojas. You have Urias. How does that kind of all work? I mean, like nothing's stopping you for trading one or two of those guys, obviously. But I'm just not sure like if the Mariners would actually want in this deal. All right. We got more trades coming up in just a moment.

I think it's kind of a lot to give up for one year of Adomas,

especially when I'm not quite sure how he fits. Like are they moving JP to second base for him? Are they moving Adomas to third base? Are they moving Adomas to second? Like how does this fit? Arroyo is obviously, you know, a pretty exciting prospect, you know,

needs to have a slightly better year this upcoming year, but no reason to give up on him yet. Marlowe and Cabiero, they're major league depth. So, you know, not a huge deal to lose them. But Darren Bowen's one of the more underrated prospects in the system. Right of the show. Yep.

He's, his big knock on him is that he's always been a small guy. He's up to 185 now. He's got the wicked slider, really good fastball. So he certainly has a chance to be a valuable piece either in the rotation or out of the bullpen. So it's basically to me, it's basically Oroyo and Cabiero for one year of Adomis. And then it's Bowen and Marlowe for Eribe. It's not bad. Like I don't think it's bad.

I just, it's a lot to give up for one year of Adomis. And Adomis wasn't very good last year, offensively speaking. And that's kind of what I'm looking at right now. I feel pretty good about my defense on the infield. And so unless you're, unless you're going to sell me on moving JP to second base, and he's okay with that. And Adomis is the shortstop.

I don't think you're upgrading, um, you know, all that much defensively by putting Adomas at third or second. So, um, I just, I don't know if I want to give up one year of that.

Uh, Uribe is, it certainly makes this more interesting, uh, but I think it's a little heavy, but it's not, it's not bad. It's,

it's, it's, it's, it's fine. All fair points. Colby, with regards to Adomas. Yeah, it does really matter in terms of

where he's going to play defensively. You know, optimally speaking, we've said this in the past, talking about Adomis, that it would make the most sense for him to play shortstop and JP to move over to second base. But that's up to JP. I think JP's earned that right to decide if he wants to move off a shortstop or not.

Yeah. Imagine just telling him, you're the second baseman now. After the year he just had. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah But yeah I do like this deal A lot though

Because I believe that I believe that Adomas Can be significantly better Than he was offensively This past year And I really like Abner Uribe And sink or slider guy Marriars love those dudes

That's the meta right now For the Mariners and their relievers And I get that guy for what Six years or whatever it is Five years like I would I would do this deal it is it is a lot and there's definitely a good amount of risk here with with adamas it's only for a year but I I can talk myself into the steel 20 walks and 30 innings for your rebate that that's tough now again you get them for six years obviously Seattle's not afraid to take shots on guys like this they just did um you know when they traded gino so Um, I'd say this.

If this came across the ticker, I think it is a, a really good, like, win now move. There would, again, there would be questions like, what, where is Adamas going to play? But your Reve certainly goes into the, the back half of that bullpen. And, you know, he kind of has to earn the high leverage spots, but you certainly can. So, uh, this came across the, the ticker. I'd be like, okay, I get it. They're going for it this year. That's good.

Only one year of Adamas makes it a little scary for me to give up Arroyo or Bowen, even but like if it was just bowen straight up for adamas i would do that and i think the rest of it for your rebay yeah i think that's fine so i i think i'd probably give this one a 50 i think it's solid i just to me i'm gonna go much higher colby you're gonna go higher i'm gonna go much higher oh i really i really like this deal when i saw it this is why i put it on the show i really like this deal ties in a good mood today i'm given right i'm giving it a 60 no i think this is I mean, it's two full grades higher. Like,

I, I really like this deal. You're all in on. I mean, he's no Devin Williams, but. That's true. That's true. That's true. I do think, though, we'll be talking about Devin Williams here in a little bit. So, yeah. All right.

I was just obsessed with cheese today. Two Milwaukee trades. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Dylan here says, I just really like this player, so I'm going to throw it out there. Phillies get Brian Wu, Michael O'Royo, Taylor-Termel for Bryce and Stott. So yeah, I think this is more a deal that you realize like the Phillies are probably not going to trade Stott. I totally get that.

So I'm just going to look at this from a peer valuation standpoint because, again, the Phillies are not trading Brice and Stott. I just, I can't imagine that happening. I think this is fine valuation. Stott is a really good defender, but he hasn't hit much. I mean, he hits for a high average, but WRC plus. he's I think he was like 84 WRC plus last year this year it's like 101 something like that so he hasn't been that good of a hitter but he hits for a high average he steals bases I can hit for some pop there's definitely quite a bit of value there um I think woo and in a

royo is Tremel here is nothing tremel you know is probably going to get DFA at some point this offseason so from that perspective that's really nothing so I'm just looking at a royal and Wu here. I think that's good valuation. It might need another piece, though, on top of that to line up with Bryce and Stott. Yeah. Stott is only 26. You know, he's got four years of club control left, like maybe five.

I think he might be super two eligible next year. So, yeah, he's a four-win player this year. But like you mentioned, not a ton of hit. But certainly he's not a zero at the plate. By no means, is he not. providing value at the plate. I do wonder if like if you're looking for a similar-ish type of player, Brendan Donovan makes more sense and he's probably available this winter as well and probably for something

like the package you're you're describing. So for a player like stop, I think this is probably a little bit light, but not terrible by any stretch. And I think if you're looking for a like a similar kind of deal to just slide this package over into, it would be something like Donovan. And maybe you get like even like Dylan Carlson out of it too or something like that. So yeah, it's valuation wise I think is fine. But you're right.

They're like the, the Phillies aren't trading rice and stop. There's just no way. I mean, maybe if you start flashing Logan Gilbert at them, but Philly's pitching is pretty good. They feel pretty good about where they're at. And if they want another pitcher, they could just go buy one. So I feel like the specific deal is probably. like a 30, 35 just because Stott's not an available player. But I think if you're looking for a player like Bryson Stott, similar to that,

then I think it's probably somewhere in that range is what you're looking at. Plus or minus a piece or an upgrade here or there. But I think it's in the ballpark. The specific deal, it's 30. You're targeting a player that's not available unless you drastically, like if you throw Kirby out there, then they probably do that. But you're not going to. For just the player, like the idea of the player that you're after,

I think that's about right. So I'll go 50. Yeah, yeah, from that perspective, 50. If we're just looking strictly at valuation, like if, let's just say that Bryce's Stott was available. Let's just pretend for a second here. If he was available, I think this is pretty close to fair evaluation for Stott.

I think you probably need to chip in one more piece. If you're the Mariners, not a significant piece, but something that balances out just a little bit more. But I think, I think Royo and we'll do a lot of the heavy lifting here. and I think that's a solid offer for someone like Bryce and Stott given where he's at in his career

and kind of the player that he is and what his profile is. So yeah, good stuff, good stuff. You're listening to the Lockdown Air and his podcast. Thank you again for making us your first listen here on fan fiction Friday. We got three more traits to go over from you guys. We got one here from Connor, Boba Chet and Jordan Romano for Logan Gilbert, Matt Brash and Cole Young.

To me, Logan Gilbert is the most, valuable player in this deal. So why? And Matt Brash is unequivocally the more valuable reliever, you know, between him and Romano. Why are the Mariners also giving up Cole Young? To me, Gilbert's pretty significantly the most valuable player in this deal because you get Gilbert for four years, you get Bichet for two. Like that's the ballgame right there. It's over.

Like Bichfer Gilbert straight up is not an equitable deal for the Mariners. then the Blue Jays also get a, you know, a more valuable reliever and a top 50 prospect in all of baseball. No, you're paying for the name. You're paying for the Bichette name. You're not paying for the player that he actually is. So no. Because again, you're not trading for the hope of an extension or anything like that does not factor into the valuation. So you're trading four years of Logan Gilbert for two years of Boba Shed.

I think that's how many years he has left, two years. And then you're trading, what, five years of Brubbushabye? Brash, four years of Brash for Five, I think. Is it two years or one year of Romano? I think it's one plus an option. Let me, let me, I think he signed on an extension, but. And Brash is, and Brash is already a better reliever than Romano is.

So, yeah, two years of Romano. So, yeah. And then I also have to chip in a top 50 prospect in Cole Young. Or if you're the low man on Cole Young are at top 80 prospect in baseball. You're right. who's got an outside shot to, you know, make his debut this year.

Like he's knocking on the door like he's close. He's close. He's close. Yeah. He's close. So like probably 2025 is, is more realistic for him.

But that's, that's close in prospect circles. So now it's a drastic overpay. You're paying for a name. You're paying for Bichette's name and not the player that he is. And Gilbert's just better. He's more valuable than Bichette. So,

um, yeah. I think honestly, if you'd come at me with Bichette and Romano for Gilbert, I'd be like, okay. like I'd listen on that but I'm certainly not giving up rash and I'm certainly not giving up Cole Young either of them for those two players if I have to give up Gilbert so yeah 25 30 yeah yeah sorry Connor it's just a drastic overpay yeah agreed next one here from Doug Christian Yellich and Devin Williams for Emerson Hancock and Tyler Locklear for all of Yelich's contract 20 20 20. If the brewers are eating a significant amount of yellowish's contract, all right, then like, 50.

Because, you know, you know how much I love the idea of Devin Williams. And if you're, you know, getting Yelich as like a, you know, 11 to 14-ish million dollar a year player instead of the 26 or whatever he is right now. And all you have to give up for that is Hancock and Locklear. Yeah, I think that's. like a 50 but yeah but you didn't you you didn't mention the contract here so if it's just yellow all of yellowish's contract um yeah yeah it's all of yelich's contract that that idea is about as useful as a moon pie um or should i say cow pie but uh yeah that one is a little more on this is this is not going to play at all on the audio version of the show people people listening i guess you guys got out over to youtube like you guys are listening and not watching, just go to the YouTube video, see the first frame and you know exactly what I'm

talking about and then go back and listen. This will make a lot more sense. Moe. But yeah, Yelich's contract is prohibitive despite, you know, how good of a year he had. And also, he wasn't all that good the year before. So there's some concerns there with performance. He's 34 years old, I believe. I mean, like, you still got him for another five years.

You can't pay that guy more than $12 to $15 million a year. Um, so again, as presented to us, because there's no mention of paying down the contract at all, um, still like a 35, I think, uh, because Williams is insane and, and Yelich, despite being overpaid, if you're paying him $26 million a year, still coming off a really good year. And he fits Seattle, like the, the ballpark. He fits the, the lineup. He fits the need very well. So, um, if we're paying down that to, uh, you know, a dollar figure, uh, that's, you know, appropriate and easier to swallow than, you know, like HUD. If you're doing that, then I think it's probably a, I think it's probably still a 50 because then at that point, I wonder,

do the brewers do this? Like, what's the incentive for the brewers to take this deal? So there's definitely a balancing act here on the salary where the brewer's eating so much that they're just giving away Devin Williams for, you know, a couple of good prospects, but certainly not

elite or mind-bending prospects. that just doesn't seem like something they'd be interested in. They could get more than that for Devin Williams. Do you want to know what this cardigan is actually from? The Cruel deville collection. Close, close, close, close. Have you seen the new Spider-Verse movie? I was going to say, is that the ink guy or the spot?

Yeah, spot guy, yeah. Yeah, spot. All right, last trade. this one was sent to me from someone that wanted to remain anonymous they sent a DM they sent a really nice message though so I was like all right yeah sure I'll I'll put your trade in here nice person still a coward right right um so it's a three-team deal with the orials marries received lincoln gilbert mariners receive louis robert and eloy himenez and the white Sox received Heston Kirstad, Joey Ortiz, Connor Norby, and Gabby Gonzalez. So this is essentially

Logan Gilbert and Gabby Gonzalez for Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez from the Mariners side of things. Yeah, complicated deal, Coy, what do you think? I think it's probably about right, just in terms of value. Solely from what the Mariners are, like, I don't think the White Sox are getting enough if they're not getting Logan Gilbert. and if they're not getting Logan Gilbert in this deal, they're not trading Robert. So I think it dies right there. But just, you know, when you knock down all the extra, you know,

window dressing and you just kind of look at for what it is, you know, when you tip over the rest of the cows and there's only one standing, the Gilbert and Gonzalez for Robert and Eloy, I think it's about right. I think it's about right. There's a possibility. And I don't think it's unfair where the White Sox look at that and be like, okay, we need something else, though,

because Robert is actually more valuable than Gilbert, because he's an elite center fielder. And while the mayor are going to say, okay, well, he's not going to play center field for us. The white's actually going to say, we don't care. That's not our problem. So I think valuation-wise,

just when you break it down to that very simple, those two for two, I think it's fine. I think it's a, you know, 50, 55, somewhere in that range. But I think you also probably have to a little bit more unless the white socks are just like desperate to get rid of Eloy's contract which isn't that bad yeah Jimenez is a D.H. only which is fine you have that opening and Robert would play probably left field which is fine you

can do that so but that diminishes his value a little bit because he's an amazing defensive center fielder and obviously amazing center field defense is a lot more valuable than amazing corner outfield defense right you're not moving Julio Yeah. For Robert. So, you know, it's certainly interesting. I think the injury concerns are pretty real for Robert. Sure.

This is the first year he played over 100 games in his entire career. But yeah, I think this is what it's going to take. Like, if you want Luis Robert, I think you have to be willing to talk Gilbert. I don't think that Wu or Miller is going to headline a Robert trade. So, yeah, I think overall, when you boil down to just what the Mariners are getting and what they're giving up, which is kind of the only avenue we care about here, then I think it's probably a 50. Because I think you might have to add a little bit more, but it's certainly in the ballpark. The three-team deal itself, because I just, I don't think the White Sox are getting enough is probably like a 35. But the, but from, yeah, from the angle that you're taking, Colby, yeah, I would say it's probably 50.

I think the mirrors probably have to chip in a little bit more here because, like, yeah, obviously injury concerns. But Robert, it has the potential to be one of the best players in all of baseball. There's obviously going to be a very, very high premium on that. Yeah, he does. He does. But, you know, amazing glove, hits a ton of homers, steals bags. He does it all. So it's obviously going to have a major premium on that.

Right. If you guys didn't know, the White Sox hold a funeral for Eloy Jimenez pretty much every year. So he also has his own injury concerns. Right. So yeah, it's not the perfect deal, but it's something that I think gets the conversation going. Sure. So yeah, for that standpoint, yeah, like you don't need the Orioles in this deal. The Orioles actually get in the way because it doesn't seem like the White Sox are super interested in far away prospects.

Right. Like they want guys who have a major league track record. Look at what they traded Aaron Bummer for, like a bunch of, you know, fringe major leaguers. So if the White Sox want to kind of do a quick rebuild thing, then they're going to be the one team that wants Logan Gilbert. And honestly, the Orioles can go pound sand because they don't have anything worth Gilbert. That's not, you know, Gunner Henderson or Jackson Holiday. So, yeah, if I'm trading Logan Gilbert, I want a star back and Luis Robert is a star. So that's how I would look at it.

Yeah, you either want a star or you want two. very good players back for for gilbert and uh players yeah yeah agreed all right so that's going to do it for uh colby i know you have a question of the day for uh the people in the chat watching the premiere or the people down in the comments watching after the fact um what's the question of the day since we do the premiere every day we should probably ask the question of the day at the top but whatever um question of the day uh we're going old school here as a kid of the 90s who watched 101 Dalmatians.

My question for you. What about 102 Dalmatians? No, OG for life. Speaking of OG, very simple question, Charmander, squirtle,

Bulbosaur, let us know. Who is your starter? In the comments down below. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just know we would never hang out socially. Right. I know who your favorite is.

Who is your least favorite of the three, though, Colby? Oh man that's like asking which kid do you hate the most every family has one we all know it I knows it's him but um yeah that well yeah very true very accurate very painful charmedder honestly is my least favorite one um just a very basic design i mean to be fair so squirtle he's a turtle like but squirtles a homie though squirrel squirrels squirrels squad like i'm gone Charmander is just no personality until he becomes Charmilian

Very clearly Bulbosaurus is my favorite too Then it goes Squirtle then it goes Charmander Though I like Charmander a lot But yeah I mean they're great Charmander gets three Also as someone that does play a little Pokemon trainer and smash bros

You know you get all three of those guys I do mostly play Ivy Soor and Squirtle So Ivy Soor is the best middle I believe I think Blastoise is the best finalist evolution. I really like Charzard though. Charzard's pretty soon. The Bulbalsar line definitely has the weakest third evolution.

I think Venusaur is pretty cool, but it's just not as cool as Charzard or Blastoise. Sure, sure. All right. Well, let us know in the live chat. You only have like a minute left to do that. So maybe go to the comments instead. And maybe now that we're doing premieres every day,

we'll start doing the question of the day a little early. on in the show. We'll figure out a spot to start doing that. All right. That's going to do a first show.
