Starting point is 00:00:00 So as we all know, the Mariners have a pretty significant recent trade history with three of the five NL West teams. And coming up on today's show, we're going to run down the rosters of the Padres, Giants, and Diamondbacks, as well as the Dodgers and Rockies to determine if another deal or two can be on the way this winter. Colby, hit it. You are Locked-on Mariners, your daily Seattle Mariners podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team. Every day. Ahoy, sailors, and it's Thursday, November 13th, 2025. This is Tadang Azales and Colby Patnaud for the Locktime Marys Podcasts, part of the Locktime Podcast Network, now the number one sports podcast network.
Starting point is 00:00:42 On today's show, we'll tell you who the best trade fits are for the Mariners on the Dodgers, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Padres, and Giants. Plus, we have some more Marers coaching news and a few other notes to go over in the final segment of today's show.

Starting point is 00:01:09 All right. So we're in the National League portion of our trade preview series. We completed the AL yesterday with a look at the ALE East. Let's kick things off here in the NOS with the defending champs, the back-to-back champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who obviously they're going to look to three Pete, 2026. So I can't imagine that they will be looking to trade many pieces off of their Major League roster or their 40-man in general. But is there anyone that you think might be an exception to that, Colby?
Starting point is 00:01:45 There's a few guys. Obviously, this isn't a talent issue when you're talking about the Dodgers roster. It's a trade-fit issue. And obviously, the Dodgers and the Mariners are going for the same thing next year, we hope. So, you know, there are some road bumps that are going to be kind of hard to ignore. The one thing that could change this is if the Mariners do think about trading Randy Rosarena. I think the Dodgers are a really good fit for that. And they have lots of, you know, young major leaguer or like major league adjacent talent that they could offer the Mariners.
Starting point is 00:02:21 And, you know, one of those guys being like Alex Freeland, who could be your third baseman this year, He's ready to get a lengthy look in the big in the big leagues. Dalton rushing is blocked by Will Smith. He'd be blocked by Cal Raleigh here, but he also has some, you know, corner outfield experience. So he just might be the Randy replacement there, but you'd be going young in left field. But I don't think the mirrors are going to trade Randy this winter. So those guys probably don't make a ton of sense unless there's some kind of weird,
Starting point is 00:02:48 like, you know, Feldman-Selston for Alex Freeland swap, prospect swap, or one guy's really close, but one guy's further away, but has a higher ceiling, maybe something like that. But on their major league roster or, you know, guys who have a lot of major league experience, Max Muncie makes a lot of sense for Seattle. I don't think it makes much sense for the Dodgers to trade him. However, one year, $10 million, he's an okay third baseman who hits a lot of home runs and walks a lot, strikes out a lot. You know, very Gino, honestly, but from the left side, not quite as much power as Gino, but still plenty of power. And then there's just some bullpen arms, Gatorall, a pretty interesting dude. Missed a lot of time with injuries, but big time stuff, heavy sinker, a profile that Seattle typically likes quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Ben Conspirius is a guy that I like quite a bit. He started a little. He's been out of the bullpen since joining the Dodgers. Had a great first couple of months, and then he really struggled down the stretch. And it got so bad he didn't even make the World Series roster. And then, you know, a lefty that's pretty interesting. only one year left on his contract, Alex Vescia, a very good quality lefty, who would pair nicely with Gabe Spire.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So there are a few guys there. But, you know, again, there's not a ton that, I mean, unless there is some kind of surprise where Seattle is trading Matt Brasher, Andres Munoz, and they're getting like two of these young relievers that the Dodgers have that are really good and like a good prospect. Or they're trading Randy or Rosarena, then maybe there might be a deal here. But I don't see anything that the Mariners are going to get without, you know, giving up a big player on their major league, on their major league roster. And I don't think that's something Seattle wants to do, particularly right now when they have to replace three players already from their starting nine. So, yeah, I don't see a ton here on the Dodgers.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Yeah, it really feels like if there's a trade made between these two teams, a significant one, to be clear, that it would be something like Randy or Rosarena heading to L.A. rather than the mayor is buying something from L.A. And given the messaging that we've heard from the club so far and just what's been reported about the club's intentions this winter, it doesn't seem like that's a real possibility. So, yeah. All right. Let's move on here to the Colorado Rocky.
Starting point is 00:05:10 So the mayors did quite a lot of work on, specifically on their bullpen leading up to the trade deadline. They didn't wind up swinging a deal. This is one of the three teams that Jerry DePoto still hasn't made a trade with during his tenure with Seattle Mariners, which, again, is now a decade long. So that's kind of crazy to not make a trade with a team for at least a decade. I don't know the last time the Mariners and Rockies actually swung a trade.
Starting point is 00:05:33 If you guys know, let us know in the comments below. Do you know? Was Jeff Sorillo a trade? I thought he was a free agent. I think he was traded for like Jose Pontiagua. I was back in 2003-04. I don't really. I'm sure there's been a smaller trade that were.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Seth Smith came over from... San Diego. Yeah. Yeah, for Brandon Maurer. Yeah, I don't know. That's a lot to think about that one for a minute. But anyways, yeah. Yeah, so it all starts here with Juan Mejia.
Starting point is 00:06:05 He was one of the bigger names that was linked to the Mariners leading up to the deadline. He had a very good year, just 25 years old, 396 ERA, a lot of red on his baseball savant page. But there's also guys like Seth Halverson and Jimmy Hergett and Victor Vodnik, some options. in the bullpen for sure. Anyone else on this roster or just the bullpen guys stand out to you? Yeah. It's just the bullpen guys.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Like you mentioned, I'll throw a name out there. I don't think he's on the move and I don't know if the mayors would even have interest in him. But Brent and Doyle that would be a really fascinating guy. It doesn't hit a ton, but he is an elite centerfielder defensively. and the fact that he doesn't hit a ton
Starting point is 00:06:53 even though he plays half his games of course field. Not great. Now, he hit fine last year. This year he was just bad. And so which one is the real Britain Doyle? I don't know. But that's the guy the Rockies have talked about trying to extend recently.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I mean, considering he was a 44 WRC plus bat and 126 games in 2023 and a 65 WRC plus bat and 138 games in 2285, I think we know which one. be the outlier here right so it's unfortunate but uh there's just not a lot here outside the bullpen and there are a lot of bullpen arms that make a lot of sense for seattle ironically enough you go to the colorado rockies it's the pitching that you want off of this roster uh and it's like you said it's halverson it's uh mahjia it's um fodnik it's uh hergett yeah yeah it's it's really those four guys
Starting point is 00:07:51 what you're looking at. And then there's not a lot else on this team unless, again, you want to take a shot on Britt and Doyle. I mean, I don't know. Maybe like Tolia. Maybe they'll sell low on him. I doubt it. Like maybe it's Tyler Freeman, who was really bad defensively in the outfield,
Starting point is 00:08:07 but he's got an option left. He's a guy that doesn't really strike out, you know, puts the ball and play a lot. Maybe that's someone they look at. Maybe a Dillmore replacement. But, yeah, for the Rockies, it's the bullpen arm. and there are several options here. So I think it's possible they might swing a deal. Mejia is the guy that I have circled here for the Maris specifically.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I think he's very similar to like the Gregory Santos idea for them. I agreed. Herget had the best year. Halverson might have the most upside. But Mejia does feel very Gregory Santos. And by the way, I just looked it up. The last trade made between the Mariners and the Rockies, was in April of 2013.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I believe that is a longer drought than the Angels. I believe the Angels made the kindries and Vargas Swap in the winter of 2013. But that trade occurred on April 11th, and the Mariners traded right-handed pitcher Aaron Harangue to the Rockies for Stephen Hensley. That was the last trade that two teams made 12 years ago. All right. Well, we are going to look at the rosters of the Padres, Giants, and Diamondbacks. The three teams of the Marys have traded with the most in this division over the last few years.

So maybe there are some opportunities here for the mayors. Now, we've talked a lot about them with regards to trading Luis Castillo to them, especially over on our Patreon when we've been discussing our off season planned.
Starting point is 00:11:08 But outside of that, I mean, do you see an opportunity here for the mayors to just outright buy something for the mayor? or from the Padres? Sure. I think a guy like Jake Cronenworth continues to make sense for this ball club. I think,
Starting point is 00:11:25 you know, obviously the long-termness, the years on the contract aren't great, but he's only making like $12 million a year. He's a good player. He's one of the more
Starting point is 00:11:33 underrated players still in baseball, and he'd be a big upgrade to your defense at second base. If they do trade Luis Castillo somewhere and they're looking for kind of a number
Starting point is 00:11:44 five starter. J.P. Sears is probably available and he's pretty cheap, which is fine. But there are three guys in the bullpen that would be very nice to have if you were the Mariners. And they're all making a little bit of money. So they might be available. And that is Adrian Morahan. It would be Wandi Peralta, the lefty. And then Jeremiah Estrada. Moran only has one year club control left And he's coming off of a two-win reliever season So kind of tough to judge's value It feels like the Padres would want an elite contract
Starting point is 00:12:23 But we've heard some rumblings that like the Mariners Want to go out and add like A high leverage arm this winter And a left-handed reliever to help Gabe Spire out Well Moran is both of those things At least based on what he did last year So I think he would be interesting And Wandi Peralta is more of just the second lefty, which is fine.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I mean, he's solid. He's fine. He's making about, I think, $4 million, give or take. Estrada, I think is R1. I forgot to write that down. But I'm pretty sure he's R1. Anyways, all three of those guys would help the bullpen. Estrada and Mora on more high leverage options, whereas Wondi Peralta is kind of more
Starting point is 00:13:02 of a middle bridge guy. But, yeah, all three of those guys are interesting. They just picked up his option. but Ramon Luriano is going to make six to eight million bucks. I think it's six. And he is a really good fit for what the Mariners could use on this roster. He's a right-handed bat that could come off the bench if you need to. He also pretty high chance he's going to be the everyday right fielder.
Starting point is 00:13:30 So pushes either Canzon or Robles to a bench roll where they belong. His contract is totally reasonable. You get him for a year. again, it's so reasonable that the Padres might not even want to move him, but it does sound like they do need to shed payroll. And so while they probably would love to dump Machado or Bogarts on somebody, not going to happen. So they're going to have to trade Cronenworths or the Morahan,
Starting point is 00:13:57 who's Arp III or, you know, Luriano. They're going to have to kind of nickel and dime their way to savings here. So that's a guy to watch. And then I'll throw him on here because I don't think he's getting. traded this year but might as well uh if ranao tatis junior were to hit the open market the mariner should be heavily involved uh in that trade market uh again i would put the odds of that of them even shopping tatis at about one percent so wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it but uh yeah just throw them out there just because again the padres do kind of need
Starting point is 00:14:34 to shed payroll and he's the one guy on a mega a contract that other teams might actually be interested in. So just, you know, store that away probably more in like two or three years. But yeah, there's quite a bit on this on this Padres team, especially if they are
Starting point is 00:14:53 you know, desperate to shed some payroll this winter. The San Francisco Giants, Colby. Don't see much here. I see very little here. This is definitely a potential Luis Castillo destination. It is until the whole part where it's like, okay, what do you get for Castillo?
Starting point is 00:15:17 And unless you're like fully salary dumping him, which I still don't know. Like if the Mariners were to trade quick tangent here, or the mayors were to trade Luis Castillo this winter, I don't know if they could get like legit number three value for him or if they could just literally just have to eat the salary and make a Gino Suarez trade. I don't know. Unfortunately, San Francisco doesn't have a ton to really give Seattle that I like. I only came up with two names. That would make sense as anything more than just like a salary dump type of trade here. I came up with Casey Schmidt to kind of be the new utility guy, although right now he's, I believe, slated to be the second baseman for the Giants.
Starting point is 00:15:59 So maybe not, I guess to a lesser extent than Tyler Fitzgerald might also come to play here. And the only other guy I found that was interesting was Ryan Walker, who had a bit of a fallback year this year. But, you know, really fun guy to watch would definitely feel kind of the high leverage role that the Mariners are looking to add this winter. But also, you know, the Giants are delusional. And they think they're one or two players away from being on the level of the of even the Padres, let alone the Dodgers. So I kind of doubt that they would move, you know, anybody off their Major League roster. But their farm system outside of Bryce Eldridge is trash. So I don't see how they get anybody good enough for them to, I mean, look, we're not on locked on giants.
Starting point is 00:16:48 But that organization is poorly run. I'm just going to say it. Their baseball ops is bad. But anyways, yeah, there's not a ton here. And again, short of. dumping Luis Castillo to get rid of most or all of his contract. I don't see a way where the Mariners and the Giants line up all that well on a trade of any significance.
Starting point is 00:17:13 But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they trade Ryan Walker for a couple prospects. I don't know, but probably not. Yeah, I mean, like, I don't know. This roster needs a lot of work. And the bullpen, they already traded DeValle to the Yankees at the deadline. Randy Rodriguez just underwent Tommy John surgery. So Ryan Walker is now the guy.
Starting point is 00:17:38 So that could go one of two ways, right? Are they like, well, this bullpen's already a mess. Let's just trade him. Or do you kind of like feature him and hope that maybe he has a little bit of a better year? Because again, like you said, it was a little bit of a down year for him this year. Maybe he has a bounce back. he gets featured more as like the closer and all that at the bullpen blah blah blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:18:05 blah and then they trade them at the deadline or you know they just they think they're going to be competitive and that's just like we just want ryan walk around the team whatever so yeah the giant stitching staff as a whole is a joke it's logan web it's robbie ray and then it's literally nothing yeah so yeah they they should be tearing things down but like even the players that would make sense for the Mariners in a vacuum, they're in the early stages of massive contracts. Matt Chapman, Lee, Devers, like it just, there's just not a lot here.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yeah, so we'll see. All right. So the Arizona Diamondbacks, lastly, the team that the Maras have made the most trades with out of anyone in this division, obviously made two very big trades with at the deadline for a. Yohenning O'Swarez and Josh Naylor,
Starting point is 00:19:00 And we've talked a lot about Cotel Marte already this week. And, you know, again, there's rumors flying about his availability. And, you know, his 10 and 5 rights are coming up soon in April. So Diamondbacks possibly wanted to get out ahead of that of him securing a full no trade clause and, you know, trying to, you know, get a haul for him because they absolutely could. He's one of the best players of baseball. outside of Marte because again we've we've already talked about him at nauseam this week anyone else stands out to you on this roster because this should be a team that is like trading players away off their major league roster yeah they kind of need a quick reset here they have a lot of young
Starting point is 00:19:50 talent in the infield so this might not be a full tear down like I don't think they all of a sudden need to Corby and Carroll, but, hey, if they want to, let me know. But, yeah, I mean, outside of that, it's Alec Thomas or Jake McCarthy as kind of a fourth outfielder. It's Kevin Ginkle, if you want to try for a bounceback year out of him. Eduardo Rodriguez, if you trade Luis and you can't find a cheaper, you know, replacement, maybe he's a guy, but there's really not a ton here. They sold a lot of it, you know, at the deadline, and they were rentals anyway, so they wouldn't be part of this discussion. And a lot of their other interesting guys got hurt, some of their bullpen pieces got hurt. So just not a ton here for the Mariners.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Prodomo doesn't make any sense. They just signed me doing an extension anyways. Lawler is a big part of their future, they think. So they're going to roll with him probably as their everyday third baseman. Well, and also on Perdomo, like. even if you were interested even if they were willing to trade him would you really want to buy
Starting point is 00:21:03 after his seven wins season which is probably an outlier for him like he's a good player and he's had another really good year under his belt but it wasn't a seven win like fringe MVP caliber season no I mean outside of this season he's largely been J.P. Crawford
Starting point is 00:21:20 yeah he's like a he's like a three to four win shortstop that's who he is I don't want to pay Yeah, I don't want to pay seven win prices, you know. No, he's a very good player. And also, the Mariners are going to make way for Colton. Colt Emerson will be the team starting shortstop, probably starting 2027 for as long as he's under contract, at least for the next, you know, first six, seven years of his career. So trading for Perdomo, who's big part of his value is the shortstop aspect coming off of a huge year.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And then having all those years of club control after when you could just have this kind of clean break, J.P plays out his contract this year. Emerson takes over next year. Boom. It works out very cleanly. So I, Prudomo, not available and also just not a tremendous fifth for Seattle. You can make it work. I mean, obviously, if the prices is good, then you can make it work. But if you're the Diamondbacks, you'd be kind of stupid to trade him for anything less than a seven-win player right now.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Like, that's what you should ask for. Like, you should ask for Logan Gilbert for predominantly. You should ask for, I mean, honestly, you might ask for Logan Gilbert for Citele-Marté. But, yeah. So to Cotel-Morté, there's just not a lot here that I think they would actually move that the Mariners would have interest in. So, yeah, Diamondbacks are in kind of a weird spot right now.
Starting point is 00:22:49 They want to shed some payroll, but they only really have one guy who can do it because burns is hurt. I mean, maybe they can find a taker for Eduardo Rodriguez. They're not trading Corbyn Carroll, although they could get an absolute haul for Corbyn Carroll. And he's a Seattle guy. Sure. So maybe.
Starting point is 00:23:10 But, yeah, it's Catelle Marte, and then it's a whole lot of like, maybe type of guys. And you're listening to the Locktime Airs podcast, part of the Locktown Podcast Network. team every day as always if you want to hear from me and colby even more and help support the show we have a patreon it's called control the zone and on there we talk mariners seahawks
Starting point is 00:23:32 all that good stuff for more information go to patreon.com forward slash control the zone link in the description of this episode so that does it for our trade preview of the NL West we'll do the NL Central and NLEs at some points next week
Starting point is 00:23:48 we also got to mix in our offseason plan and there and all that stuff so maybe no top five Tuesday next week but we'll uh we'll let you guys know uh all right so want to wrap up here on some quick mariners news and notes um the GM medians are obviously underway right now uh the media got to talk with uh justin hollander yesterday ryan davish put out an article on the Seattle times last night uh with a an interesting note there at the end uh in the final line of the articles saying that the mayors have been able to successfully retain both Pete
Starting point is 00:24:26 Woodworth and Trent Blank. The mayor is, as far as I'm aware, there was legit concern that they could lose both of those guys. And Hollander yesterday did talk about that there will be some coaching changes and that, you know, he kind of alluded to maybe the possibility that Andy McKay is the only guy that has gotten a job elsewhere. He said that they're going to wait for other teams to make those announcements before they say anything.
Starting point is 00:24:59 But it's possible that he might have been also talking about Tony Arnrich. Because again, Ossinola is now the bullpen coach. That was Tony Arnrich's job. Maybe Tony Arnrich has a job elsewhere. But the great news here, though, is that both Pete Woodworth and Trent Blank are back. They're staying put because those guys have just been so instrumental
Starting point is 00:25:19 to the success of this pitching staff for so long. And so, yeah, keeping that continuity is a massive, massive deal. So that's great. Tonight, of course, is the MVP results. We'll get the MVP results. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is why I'm bringing this up. Bob Nightingale, our favorite.
Starting point is 00:25:49 he's the president of the baseball writers association of america he tweeted the official b b bw aa mvp winners will be announced to seven eastern tonight on mlb network with shohay otani expected to unanimously win the nil mvp award and aaron judge expected to narrowly beat out cow raleigh for the a lnvp and the most debated award that's the president of the association that votes on these things saying that erin judge is expected to narrowly beat out Cal Raleigh. Now, let me remind you, he also basically spoiled the manager of the year vote. I think he also spoiled the Cy Young vote last night. So, I think Bob Nightingale just told us what's going to happen tonight, and there's
Starting point is 00:26:33 no reason for us to watch. Yeah. I mean, probably not much for a reason to watch anyways, but whatever, I'm not going to tell you guys. It's November, okay, we're in a sports dark spot right now, but like, yeah. Personally, I'd rather watch Patriots Jets than an MLB award ceremony, but
Starting point is 00:26:49 whatever uh yeah uh we don't call them boo nightingale for no reason uh and the fact that you know the baseball writers elected this guy as their spokesperson essentially uh tells you a lot about the respect i have for that chapter of uh baseball minds let's say um yeah i mean we'll see where the vote totals come out i thought for a while judge was going to win especially in september when they just kept on moving the goalpost on cow. Every time he had a home run, he had hit another one to really clinch it. And then he'd hit it.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Oh, well, no, it's one more. Well, once he beats Mantle's record and then he beats Manil's record, well, once he beats Griffey's record, well,
Starting point is 00:27:32 he beat Griffey's record. Well, once he gets to 60. I mean, if he had 60, you have to give it to him. And then he hit to 60, and it's like,
Starting point is 00:27:38 well, I mean, maybe if he breaks Judge's record. Like, yeah, yeah. So, again, not surprised, Judge the Yankee.
Starting point is 00:27:46 We'll see how close it is. one other thing I'm actually more looking forward to than the result that I expect. If Cowan's great, I mean, that's obviously the story. But I'm looking to see where Julio finishes. Brian Wu finished fifth. That's awesome. In Cy Young voting, that's awesome, well earned. I think Julio has a shot to finish fifth and MVP voting.
Starting point is 00:28:07 We know the top three. I think Bobby Wood Jr. is probably number four. So I think Julio has a pretty good shot to finish fifth. But if he finishes in the top 10, 10, which I would say is almost a certainty, he'll be one step closer to hitting the next escalator in his big, massive 10-year team option that's coming up in three years. Four top 10 finishes and his option jumps up another $20 million. That option has to be decided on after the 2028 season.
Starting point is 00:28:42 It doesn't begin until 2030. but top five finishes I believe this would be a second top five finish if I'm not mistaken and that could also trigger something as well if he finishes fit so there are so if he gets four top five finishes it jumps up to 10 years 350 million right he either needs two wins or four top five finishes he could also with one win and one top five vote or three top five votes eight years 280 million right tonight he'll get his third top 10 finish he needs four to hit the next escalator
Starting point is 00:29:18 so yeah that one which is eight years 260 yeah right and that option has to be determined after the 2028 season so you still have three more seasons before you have to pick up that option or decline it it's a very complicated contract but the MVP finishes do dictate quite a bit for Julio so there's actually a big difference tonight for Julio if he finishes 11th versus if he finish his 10th versus if he finishes fifth like if he finishes 7th that's a lot different than 5th if he finishes 11th that's a lot different than 10th even though in reality they're not for him it is so yeah yeah we'll see where he finishes but I do think he has a legit shot to finish fifth I think the top four pretty much locked in stone all right
