All right.
So, hey, remember yesterday's episode where Alec Baum was my number one external third base
option for the mayor is because
seems like he's going to get moved
this winter for a pretty reasonable price
and there aren't many
guys that I can say that about
oops
I guess I was I was really
wrong on that I really missed the mark on that
one because today Adam Jude
and his article on the Seattle Times said that
the mayor's have talked about Bome
with the Phillies and the Phillies
proceeded to ask for Logan
Gilbert or George Kirby for him
this is ridiculous
right and it's it's very clear that in these negotiations the Phillies are trying to use the
jonathan india brady singer deal as like a point of reference which that's not even in the same
universe brady singer is not in the same universe as george kirby or logan gilbert but bomb is in the same
universe as uh jonathan india yeah so like not say much what are we doing here man like
No, Dave Dombrovsky doesn't want to have a serious conversation about it, but clearly.
No, and, you know, I think, you know, obviously you start a negotiation.
You always want to start on the high end and work your way towards the middle.
You understand that.
But the problem here is that you've set the, like, the opening salvo so high that it is literally a waste of Jerry and Justin's time to continue that conversation.
Like if I'm Jerry and Justin, I'm just crossing boom off the list until the Phillies come back to me and want to be like, hey, you want to have a serious conversation?
And yeah, we were always willing to have a serious conversation.
So on the one hand, it's like, yeah, Dumbraowski, you know, starting off really high at a price he knows he has no shot of getting.
Like that's fine, but that's also kind of the equivalent of asking of mayonnaise as an instrument.
Like, you know what the answer is.
The answer is going to be no.
And you're just wasting everybody's time.
so yeah bone you know having a high asking price in unfortunately guys i'm going to break some bad news
for you here it's still early in the off season uh so him having a high asking price is fine whatever
but you still have to be somewhere in the realm of reality right like you so
willing to at least have a serious conversation and what you're saying when i say hey
what's alec bone and you're like oh you know we we want kirby or gilbert for him is like oh you
don't want to trade out of foam okay no problem sorry for wasting your time like that's it like that's
it so um yeah you know on the one hand let's like yeah the fillies they're starting high blah blah blah
on the other hand it's like yeah you know what the mariners have kind of walk themselves back into
the situation uh but on the most important hand we should be like ripping the fillies apart
for having the audacity to propose such a such an idiotic trade like there's just no way around
But this is when this is like some of the stuff we see from like like that random Orioles fan who was like could you get Bryce Miller for Ryan Malcastle?
This is on the same level.
Yeah.
Is that bad.
This is worse.
This is worse.
Because look, Alec.
Frank Fiction Friday type of stuff here.
Alec Bome was basically a fringe everyday player by F4 standards before this year.
Then he was a three and a half one player below average, which really really good year.
three and a half one player that's awesome you know for a third baseman especially in today's
day and age and how bad you know third base is just across major league baseball like we've
talked about but uh also last year he got off to an incredibly hot start and then he was a 96
w rc plus for may onward talking about a guy that was that was a below league average for
the majority of the season that's not worth si young contenders what we doing here right and again
not to mention, we could sit here and talk about like, oh, you know, the Mariners don't have a lot of leverage in these talks.
Neither do the Phillies. They benched Bome in the playoffs. They've made it very clear that they don't want them around.
And they've even kind of leaked that, you know, there's some clubhouse stuff going on with Bome. He just doesn't gel very well in our clubhouse.
Yeah. You don't have leverage either. Yeah. So to sit here and act like you have all the right in the world to ask for a Cy Young caliber pitcher with more years of club control, mind you, than your.
below average everyday third baseman,
unless you just think 2024 is the gospel on him.
You know what I like about George Kirby and Logan Gilbert?
They've had years like they've just had before.
You're not banking on them to do something they haven't done again.
They haven't done yet.
Like, no, no, you know who they are.
And we don't know who Alec Bohem is,
but if you had to bet, you had to lay a bet,
he's probably closer to who he was in 2022 and 2023,
especially since most of the upgrades and his war,
statistics come from defensive metrics, which we know are totally unreliable in small one-year
sample sizes.
So it's absurd.
It is absolutely absurd.
Like,
Nebraska should be dragged over the coals for this.
Like,
it's absolutely insane and it's silly.
And it's not,
like you said,
it's just,
it's not a serious conversation.
Like,
we're clearly not even like,
you're not even trying to have a conversation with us.
That's fine.
We're going to move on.
Like,
I,
I would rather have Ramone Ureus than Alifone.
very similar players.
I'd rather have him because he's not going to cost me.
The Orioles don't even have the nerve.
They wouldn't have the nerve to ask for that for Ramon Ureus.
I'll go get Willie Castro on a one-year deal.
The twins are not going to ask for like, no, no, it's absurd.
So on the one hand, it's like you can't blame him for asking.
I can't because you're.
Yeah.
I mean, look, I get it.
Like the Mariners don't have a clear in-house option at third base.
They don't have a real option.
And teams know that they're not going to go out in free agency inside a third basement.
And one, because there aren't many options to sign, and two, because obviously we know the story about Mariners and spinning.
But, yeah, Dave Dombrovsky just blew in from Stupid Town if he thinks that he can get Logan Gilbert or George Kirby for Alec Bome.
Yeah, and I don't think Dumbrowski is stupid.
So, yeah.
This is obviously a, let's see how desperate you are thing.
And the Mariners saying, like, no, we'd rather roll with Dylan Moore at third base and Ryan Bliss at second base.
then give up Logan Gilbert for your one and a half win third baseman.
Screw you.
And like I said,
if you're Jerry and you're Justin,
there's literally no reason to continue this conversation right now.
None.
Because if that's the starting point,
you're not interested in having a serious conversation.
We're going to look elsewhere because we do need to find a third baseman.
But you know what?
For a one and a half player,
I can go sign a mod Rosario and ask him to play third base for $3 million bucks.
And is that as good as Al at Fome?
Honestly,
might be.
Might be.
like you can't say it's definitely not going to be.
And I get to keep Logan Gilbert.
Oh, no brainer.
No brainer.
So when you're ready to have a serious conversation, you give us a call.
But I'm not pursuing this angle anymore because you're not willing to have like a real discussion.
Now, to be fair, for all we know, this characterization is a bit off.
And it's like, hey, would you be willing to trade Gilbert or Kirby in a package that includes Bome or any of that?
and the mayor's just like, no, we're not trading Kirby or Gilbert, blah, blah, blah.
So maybe that was the tone of the talks or whatever.
Or maybe it was just mentioned, like, I don't suppose you, like, we don't know exactly how.
But I can also see it considering how limited the third base options are, considering that boom,
you can frame it as he's coming off of a three and a half win season.
He's a young player that has full years of club control, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, right?
Like, it's a little tough to buy that from the Phillies when they've literally made it abundantly clear.
They want this dude off their roster.
Yeah.
Like, they're not even trying to hide that.
So it's like, yeah, you know, take it, you know, take your like, oh, we have leverage, talk and stuff it because you don't, because we know this guy's not going to be on your roster in April one way or another.
So, yeah, it's all just a little absurd.
But again, we're reading into like.
out of context, well not, you kind of out of context quotes about a situation that somebody's privy to,
but may not have had direct dialogue in blah, blah, blah.
So you want to give a guy like Dumbrowski who's a Hall of Fame executive,
you want to give him, you know, more credit than this.
But based on the information we have, it is laughably stupid that he would even waste anybody's time with this asking price.
Yeah.
So in Jude's article, Bome wasn't the only player mentioned that the mayor has.
have had talks about.
We'll get into the other guy that they talked about.

and you're listening to the locked on mirrors podcast so let's keep on talking about this adam jude
article that dropped today on the seattle times we just talked about the the alec boom stuff
and that ridiculous asking price from the Phillies.
Now let's talk about Nico Horner.
Someone that we've talked about a lot as well, along with Bohm.
The Marrists have apparently had preliminary talks with the Cubs about Horner,
and the Cubs apparently want an established major leaguer in return for their second baseman.
Do the Maris have that?
What does that mean?
What do you make of that?
It's a little tough to say because, you know, established major leaguer, it's like, okay, well, you want a bullpen arm, you want an outfielder, you want an infielder.
It doesn't make sense really to be an infielder, so we can probably eliminate that.
You want a starter, reliever, you know, outfielder.
And looking at their roster right now, do they even want an outfielder?
Yeah, I mean, the outfield is pretty jam-packed.
And, you know, the infield.
They have Crowe Armstrong.
They have Hap.
They have Suzuki.
They have Bellinger.
They're trying to trade Bellinger, but, you know, good luck to them.
So, yeah, it's like, I mean, they just signed Drew Smiley, but they could probably use another starter.
But, like, again, you're not trading Gilbert or Kirby for two years of Horner, even though Horner is a significantly better player than Alec Boehm with a longer track record.
So, like, that's out.
So it's like, are you talking bullpen?
Like, are we talking like Andres Munoz here?
because I think at some point you have to really strongly consider that even though, again, at that point now I have to go out and I have to replace Munoz.
But, you know, do you want to replace a guy who's going to throw 60 innings or do you want to try and find somebody who's going to get 600 plate appearances?
You know, so it's a little tough to say when they're just as vague as, you know, an established big league or back.
Like, would I trade Munoz for Horner straight up?
Probably.
I mean like I wish I didn't have to but like I probably have to consider that now I'd like to have another high leverage reliever like in my back pocket already.
So maybe yeah maybe that's a Ryan Halsley type like we've talked about in our offseason plan or maybe it's a Pete Air Banks type from the raise or something like that.
He's apparently going to get talked about a lot at the winter meetings.
Right. So you know, we'll have to wait and see. But like if it's like we want an established major leaguer, it's like okay well if it's not.
not Luis Castillo or a bullpen arm.
I don't know that the Mariners have that guy.
So, you know, maybe they do, maybe they don't.
Again, what is an established major league?
Are the Cubs really interested in Gregory Santos as their established major leager?
To me, this reads as we want Kirby or Gilbert.
Right.
And they're just like, okay, cool.
We'll take Horner, Matt Shaw, and what the hell you have?
Right.
Like since we're just throwing out ridiculous nonsense, let's just, let's just start there.
So yeah, it's a little tough to say again that's so vague.
We just want an established big leger.
Like technically Gregory Santos is an established big leger.
Also an established big leaguer, Julio Rodriguez.
You see the discrepancy there?
Yeah.
I mean, one name, but again, I don't.
They would want an outfielder, but one name that I'm thinking about here is Luke
Raleigh.
Yeah.
Like, could Luke Raleigh for Nico Horner makes sense?
I mean, the Mariners are probably getting the better into that bargain.
And I love Luke Rayleigh, but he's, you know, a platoon player.
Yeah, strong side platoon.
Right, right. And a good one, a really good one too.
But, and, you know, he's making the league minimum.
So that's a, that's a real bonus to you as well.
Like, what's the Cubs first base situation?
Michael Bush.
Yeah.
So, like, the DH right now would be their outfield that they're rotating through.
They saw Isok Paredes.
They're going to try and get Matt Shaw at bats.
So, yeah, Rayleigh just doesn't seem like a great fit, but he is the guy that, like, I look at it and I go like, okay, established big leaguer has some trade value.
In theory, the Mariners can part with him.
You know, at that point, they still, they need to go get, you know, Luke Rayleigh type of bat.
And that's not going to be cheap either.
but they did find Luke Rayleigh for excess parts.
So maybe they think they can do that again.
So yeah, just really tough with Horner to like think about like an established big
leager and it's like, does you want the established big leaguer to like carry the package
or do you like would you take like Cole Young and Gregory Santos?
You know what I mean?
Like what is what is how important is that established big leaguer?
It's such a vague phrase that it's a little tough to.
to parse but yeah you know we'll see um i feel really confident in saying that it's not going to be
kirby or gilbert they're not going to trade either those guys for nico horn or not straight up
it's not going to be miller woo either no nope nope so that pretty much leaves castillo
munoz rayley maybe santos is kind of like do they think colin snider is an established big
leger yeah you know and like he's probably about as established as gregory santos if we want to be
honest. So I would say probably not to either of those guys. So yeah, it's just a little hard when you
say, you know, they want an established big leaguer. You kind of look around with the, like they're
not trading Cal Raleigh. Is this where Matt Brash comes in? Possibly. Yeah. Because again, I,
when we saw that report with a very optimistic timeline about his return, that at least partly
reads to me as like, hey, he's definitely
going to be healthy by April.
Ha ha ha, wink, wink, nudge.
He's defied the laws
of anatomy. Right.
Yeah.
Oh, sure.
Yeah. That report to me
was a little suss, even though
it was coming from a
local reporter.
So, I don't know. Maybe it's nothing,
but I did kind of notice
that and go, hmm, I wonder
if they're trying to
like sell teams on yeah brash is he's going to be ready to go and like he's looking good in his rehab
and all that stuff right so which teams aren't going to fall for like they would have their own doctor
look at the elbow and they would do all that but uh yeah uh what's interesting here like i think
this is a fun thought experiment would you tie and i guess everybody in the comments if you if you want to
chime in. Would you rather trade
Munoz or Brash?
Brash.
Is that interesting? Because both have four years
of club control left.
Yeah, but I don't know what Brash is going to look like
coming off of T.J. But Munoz is making $3 million
than $6, then 8, then 10.
Yeah. Yeah.
And Brash might be on a similar timeline,
but he's a year behind. So it's like,
yeah, in 2025, you'd much rather have Munoz, I would think,
coming off with Brash coming off to Tommy John.
But
Munoz,
got nicked up this year.
You know, he's got his own history of Tommy John.
He got used a lot, a lot of a big workload on him.
Sure.
Yeah.
So 2026 beyond, I think Brash might be the answer.
Maybe you'd rather keep Brash.
So yeah, it's pretty interesting.
Like how heavily do we want away 2025?
So yeah, that's an interesting.
Like, would you dread, would you rather assume it's just one for one?
Munoz or Brash straight up for Horner.
which one would you rather do are you doing either of them uh i would i would do brash for horner absolutely
i'd probably do either because again i just don't know well yeah i like in a vacuum i would do either
and look i i would i trust them to go get a high leverage reliever more than i trust them to go
find another second baseman that's like even though they already really need another high
average reliever. Yeah, yeah.
Like, so they'd have to get two, but.
Yeah. But, but, um, but yeah, because there's questions around Brash and who he's
going to be post T.J. and all that stuff, even though that Tommy John isn't as much of a death knell
as it used to be. It feels like. Obviously the bounce back time for relievers is a little bit
less because they don't have as big of a workload. They don't have to ramp up nearly as much, but,
but also with Brash is still going to be a violent delivery, you know, does,
he hurt the elbow again.
A lot of torque you put on that elbow to throw those
sleepers and the sliders and all that stuff.
Yeah. So you also
have to think about that.
Yeah.
So if the Cubs would want to do
Brash for Horner
and maybe there's like a couple other pieces involved
whatever. Yeah, I would do that.
Munoz I'm a bit more hesitant on
just because again,
I already need a high leverage guy
on top of Munoz.
Now essentially I need
two high leverage guys
if I trade Munoz.
I feel good about them
getting one.
There's quite a few options out there
for them to get one of those guys,
but can they get two in the same offseason?
Probably not.
No.
I feel like the bullpen is
incomplete.
Maybe not a problem, but incomplete.
Sure. You're counting or you're hoping
on like Garcia or
Cranton or
you know, a waiver claim.
Like you're hoping you find.
mind another Colin Snyder on top of hoping Colin Snyder can do what he did last year or some
you can do that or Santos is actually the guy that you thought you were requiring etc.
Right. So, you know, there are more like paths to having that really good bullpen than there
are paths to having a really good second base or infield or whatever. Yeah. So maybe that's why you're
willing to take that shot. But it's definitely not like a no brainer. Like you should there should be
some hesitation of like, you know, but you have to give up.
up something to get something. And again, if, if Brash, who I'm not really counting on in 2025 anyways,
if that's the guy that makes this deal go, then fine. And like I said, if they're holding out and it has to be
Munoz, I'd probably try and get a little something extra back from Chicago, but, or maybe not
even extra. Maybe it's like, okay, well, how about we also include this prospect swap and that'll
make me feel like blah, blah, blah, blah. Maybe you get a bullpen arm from Chicago.
is part of the deal as well.
So yeah,
I think that's interesting.
Let us know,
would you rather trade Brasher or Munoz?
I think for 2025,
you'd rather have Munoz.
Beyond that,
pretty interesting.
They're both going to be free agents.
Well,
I mean,
Munoz has opt-outs
and stuff like that in his deal.
But you get to play.
Four years of club control on both guys.
All right.

our show here, our last segment of the day. Again, we don't have a lot to talk about. So we're
going to bite the professional yapper himself, John Marosi, got on MLB network today and said,
that Christian Walker and the Mariners are a pairing that he's going to keep his eye on at the
winter meetings next week.
To his credit, Christian Walker would be a tremendous ad to the Mariners and very high on my
personal big board, which does not be a way better solution at first base than Justin Turner
or Carlos Santana, just from a pure baseball standpoint.
I mean, like, leadership is cool, but gold glove defense and 30 home runs.
and like a 350 on base is even cooler.
So yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah,
I would love for him to be accurate
and for him to be right about this.
And it would also mean that the Mariners seemingly have more money
than we were led to believe over the last couple of weeks,
which would also be great news as well.
So I would like for him to be real.
Big Christian Walker guy here.
It's not.
It's not.
So, yeah,
I look forward to his tweet that Walker's on a plane boarded for Seattle.
and, you know, he's visiting and all that stuff.
And in reality, he's just going to drive line or something.
Or, you know, taking any vacation in Seattle in the winter, as one often does.
So, yeah, cool story, John.
I hope you're right.
It'd be great if you were.
You're not.
But in John's defense, he didn't say, like, he just said, like, he's speculating.
Like, he was very clear that this is.
he always does he doesn't he's not sourced on this right but it was not like he he like implied
that he was sourced up on this you know what I mean sure no like yeah I just think that's a
fit that makes a lot of sense and and he's right it does it makes a ton of sense you know if you ignore
oh what's the word all the evidence that says that the mares are not going to spend that that kind of
money sure yeah sure like basically essentially the words coming out of ownership's
mouth that they're not going to spend money on guys and if you ignore that hey they got a shot to
sign one soda this off season two i mean so yeah again i hope john's right uh he could really
use a win it's been a rough couple year uh for for rocy who rough couple year i mean i was going to say
months but like it's been a year now since yeah it's been it's yeah it's the otani like is on a plane
to toronto thing yeah which again he was completely used uh by otani
agent. I do feel kind of bad for him in that. I do because like he gets dumped on that. It's like he like,
he like Marosi is a bit of a yapper, but he is not a guy who has a reputation. Like he's not
MLB scoops. Okay. Uh, like he's he's better than that. Uh, so he absolutely got used last year for
the Otani thing, but obviously it's still, you know, egg on his face. And then like, yes,
the whole in the summer before he just kept on like, Lars Newport for Logan Gilbert makes so much sense.
though literally everybody was like, no, it doesn't.
Blah, blah, blah.
And so, like, yeah, it's been a rough go for him over the last, you know,
year on a national stage and probably over the last 18 months on a Mariners specific land.
But one thing's pretty clear.
If it's not coming from Rosenthal or Passon or one of the local beat guys,
probably don't probably not coming from the Mariners.
So, yeah, John Morosi, probably not accurate on this one.
but hey, would love for him to prove me wrong.
Would love for the Seattle Marrars organization to prove me wrong.
In fact, I am on my hands and knees begging you to prove me wrong, please.
Because the way things are shaping up right now,
I'm not sure if I'm going to be very excited about this off season.
But if you sign Christian Walker, my mood will change very quickly.
It only takes one.
Yeah.
And what do we always say?
be fun. I know what? I would go so bold as to say it would be fun.
Mm.
Would be fun.
Mm-hmm.
So on that note, that's going to do it for our show.
