So a couple of weeks ago, Colby, for Top 5 Tuesday,
the wheel tasked you to give us the top five best trades in Mariners history.
And a lot of the comments under that episode asked us to do the top five worst trades in Mariner's history.
So we added it to the wheel.
And sure enough, as we're doing our last Top 5 Tuesday here for a little while,
The wheel landed on the top five worst trades of mariner's history, which is, I have to imagine a much more difficult list to put together than the top five best trades of mariner's history.
So I'm sure you have a lot of honorable, quote unquote, mentions to go over.
Yeah, there are even some that didn't make the cut of honorable mention because I just like, we only have 30 minutes, you know.
So the Mariners trade history has been not inspiring for the most part.
But, you know, it's why you really have to treasure the wins because there's not a ton of them.
But yeah, I mean, so for like honorable mentions, how about Tino Martinez, Jeff Nelson and Jim Massier for Russ Davis and Sterling Hitchcock?
Tino, you know, yeah, had a great career better than a lot of people would think.
I believe, like, go look at Tino Martinez's career numbers.
You'll be pretty surprised by how good he was.
Obviously, Jeff Nelson, you know, eventually came back,
but he was a huge piece in the back into that bullpen with Mariano for those mid-90s.
And, you know, Tino and Jeff really were kind of anchors in the last dynastic run from the Yankees in the late 90s into the early 2000s.
And so, yeah, Russ Davis was okay here.
He wasn't great.
He wasn't terrible.
but he was just, and Hitchcock was pretty darn bad.
So the Mariners ended up trading, you know, a huge, you know, key piece in the middle of their lineup and a late inning, you know, leverage reliever for an okay third baseman in an era where, you know, 20 home runs is nothing, particularly from a corner guy and a bad left-hand pitcher.
Yikes.
How about Mark Trumbo for Steve Clevenger?
Yeah, that one.
A lot of that is because Clevenger ended up being a terrible human being.
But he also was a terrible baseball player.
And Trumbo had a very nice year that year.
So that one was not great.
You kind of have the Lopez, Pablo Lopez for David Phelps trade, along with the Freddie Peralta for Adam Linn trade.
Now those don't make those.
We always have those two walkoffs from Adam Lenn, though.
That's right, baby.
including the one against the Cardinals where he swung at a pitch like at his eyeballs.
Can you name the other team that he walked off?
Was it the A's?
It was the White Sox.
Oh, I was going to say that, but I thought that was Langerons.
No, it was White Sox.
Yeah.
If I remember correctly, I might be wrong on this.
But if I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it was the same part of the ballpark too.
Yeah, it was right field.
Yeah, like right center, like where the tunnel is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it was right around that area.
Yeah.
Yeah, so Pablo Lopez for Phelps and Freddie Peralta for Lynn, they don't make the official list because
they did try and provide context.
And it's easier to do that on the trades that I like actually covered because I know
where the team was at the time and all that.
Yeah.
But yeah, at the time, Lopez and, you know, Peralta, they were nobodies.
They were in the low miners.
They didn't even really show much.
And didn't they trade like three
in the Paralta deal?
Didn't they trade like three young prospects?
Were they all pitchers?
I think I was the Lynn trade, but yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And you know,
Pralta popped and that's more on the brewers
for developing Peralta because when they traded
I think it was 18, 19.
Yeah.
And so, you know, not necessarily bad process,
but at the end of the day,
you traded a number two starter
for one year of Adam Lynn.
So that's an honorable mention.
How about as Drewbel Cabrera for Eduardo Perez?
Yeah.
Somehow, not the worst trade they made with Cleveland that week.
Yeah.
And then the final honorable mention, David Ortiz for Dave Hollis.
This one doesn't quite make the list just because in the mid-90s,
the Mariners were pretty set at DH.
I don't know if you've heard of the guy.
Edgar Martinez.
he's a Hall of Fame.
And two's credit halls was really good for the Mariners.
They get like 380 for them down the stretch.
Didn't end up mattering.
They didn't make the playoffs anyways.
But,
yeah,
it's like in Ortiz again,
kind of like Peralta.
Just kind of not really a name.
Like nobody thought David Ortiz was the thing,
including the twins who just released him in 2002 instead of payment.
Yeah,
it's not like you traded Ortiz to the Red Sox.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
So, yeah, you know, the Cliff Lee trade doesn't quite make the honorable mention list because, you know, at the time, that was a rental, right?
You traded two months of Lee for six years of Justin Smoke, who was supposed to be this great prospect and just didn't work.
So I don't think that's necessarily a bad trade.
That's why it doesn't make the list.
But like others, how about the, how about trading Carlos Guillaen for Ramon Santiago?
Gien was an all-star for, yeah, for Detroit for a few years.
Ramon Santiago, I believe, played a total of like 30 games in two years for the mayor.
Gross.
So, yeah.
I know Gien was just kind of an average player, not really thought that highly of of that 2000, 2001 Mariners run.
But he was consistent and he was pretty solid and the mares gave up on him too soon.
So yeah.
And there's probably a lot more.
You guys are probably thinking of some right now that aren't even on the honorable mention list.
And I'm sitting here with you going like, yep, that totally could have been in the top five.
Like, yeah, absolutely.
So like I said, it's not been a great history for the Mariners.
All right.
Well, if you guys weren't depressed already after hearing all those trades, which, I mean, you could make a top five, top seven, however many trades you listed there out of that.
And that would be more than respectable, I guess.
That's probably not the right word for it.
But you get what I'm saying.
Yeah, we haven't even gotten into the top five.
So it's time for more sadness and whatnot.
Number five, what's the trade?
Shinsu Chu for Ben Broussard, who was made either a couple of days before or after the
Eduardo Perez trade.
Basically, the Mariners helped finance a really nice run from the late 2000, early
2010 Cleveland Indians at the time by giving them their All-Star shortstop and an All-Star
Right Fielder.
All Chu became was like the epitome of the on-base guy.
He posted regular on-base percentages in the 380s to 400 range.
He hit for a high average.
He had 20 home run pop, hit a bunch of doubles, stole bags.
It was actually a pretty good defender.
Like, Chew was an awesome player for quite a while.
And to make matters a little bit worse at insult injury,
he would later come back and haunt the Mariners wearing a Texas Rangers uniform.
But he had a great career with Cleveland, with the Reds, and with Texas.
He is, you know, one of those players whose career, like you look back at his career and you go, like, wow, he was a lot better than I remember.
And he was very, very good.
And for their efforts, the Mariners got a first base platoon.
Yay.
Good job.
Build a Bacy special.
So, yeah.
Depressing.
And yeah, only number five.
Yikes.
Yeah, all right.
Without much of an argument to be to be go much higher.
Yeah, yeah, I can only imagine the the horrors that await us on this list.
We will get into your top four in just a moment.

And you're listening to the locked on Mariners podcast.
It is Top 5 Tuesday.
Colby is going over the top five worst trades in Mariners history.
So a little bit of a sad show today.
But you guys requested it.
A lot of you requested it in the comments of the best Mariners trade episode.
So we're doing it.
By the way, before we get back into your list, just some small Mariners adjacent news here.
Jimmy Garcia is going back to the.
Blue Jays on a two-year $15 million deal, according to Ari Alexander.
So I don't know if the mayor has had any interest in bringing Garcia back,
but he is going back to Toronto.
All right.
So number five on your list was Shinsu Chu for Ben Broussard, which, yikes.
What's number four?
Yeah, number four is Chris Taylor for Zach Lee.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is by Jerry Depoto's own reckoning.
This is the worst trade he's ever made.
It was worse process than both Lee Lopez and Peralta swaps
because the Mariners traded a solid prospect for kind of already a failed prospect.
Now, again, they won at arms.
They thought the middle infield was okay.
But again, Chris Taylor went on to be All-Star Utility Man,
one of the best utility men's in baseball.
Playoff hero. Yeah, for five, six years.
And really, you know, kind of was instrumental in jumpstarting the Dodgers and
turning them into what they are today.
He played a big role in that.
And for Jerry's efforts, he got Zach Lee, who, to put it nicely, sucks.
Yeah.
No longer in baseball.
So, yeah, you trade, you know, and Taylor at the time was already,
in the big leagues.
He'd already debuted.
He was, you know, an interesting player.
It was a pretty good shortstop.
He was a middle infielder.
He also very athletic, as we obviously know.
And there were traits there now.
Would he have been the same player in Seattle as he was with the Dodgers?
Who knows?
Probably not.
Which is kind of part of the problem or whatever.
Right.
But, you know, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter.
You traded, you know, again, and because Jerry Depoto is very willing to admit, like, yeah,
this is the worst trade I've ever done.
Didn't work at all.
Wouldn't do it again.
Blah, blah, blah.
So the Gino trade is not on your list then.
No.
Okay.
That one would go in the honorable mentions though.
Yeah.
And that's obviously recency bias, but yeah, that one does not look great.
And also considering the position that the bears are in right the second, yeah, with the base.
Sure, but, you know, there's still a chance that Carlos Vargas is like Andres Munoz.
and then at that point, like, yeah, who cares, right?
So, but it goes in the honorable mentions, like,
trying to avoid recency bias here a little bit.
Sure, sure.
So, yeah, Chris Taylor for Zach Lee, just dreadful,
not good process, obviously terrible results.
And yeah, if you're going to have a, you know,
top five worst trades in marriage history,
you've got to have a cherry trade on there
because he's made the most.
And so now it's interesting,
the Phelps trade.
the Lynn trade, the Taylor trade.
They all kind of happened at roughly the same era.
And since then, he's had some not good trades, but no like catastrophic trades.
The Gino trade is probably the closest thing to catastrophic since these early trades.
So, yeah.
The other bad trades are more like bad optics rather than like, yeah, just like, you know.
Like it actually ended up in disaster.
The Gino one is pretty bad though.
Right.
In hindsight, and then now, like, looking out, you know, again, the position the mares are in right now trying to address third base, second base, all that stuff.
So, yeah.
Sure.
In a couple of years, that might be on the list, but we're only a year removed from it.
So, you know, try and give it a little bit of space.
But, yeah, that one, that one's not good either.
All right.
So where are we at, number three?
Yep.
Number three is probably a trade.
A lot of people don't even remember.
but it was pretty bad and it had some serious ramifications for the Mariners.
Not immediately, although somewhat immediately, but more down the line.
I'll get to that.
How about Jose Cruz Jr. or Mike Timlin, and I don't even know how to pronounce this guy's name.
Paul.
You know, it's bad when you can't even pronounce one of the guys' names.
Yeah, I never heard of him.
Paul Spulcher, whatever.
Cruz was a top five pick by the Mariners.
He was an elite prospect when he was traded.
He had actually made his major league debut by the time he was traded and was having a really nice year.
He was in 49 games for the Mariners.
He had put up a 1.6 war and was hitting 268, 315, 541.
The 97 Mariners, they needed Bolton help desperately.
they had a really good lineup.
And so they decided to trade, you know, six years of a player who was a first round
pick and wasn't disappointing for two relievers who had a couple of years of club control left.
Timlin was okay for the Mariners.
He wasn't terrible by any stretch.
The other guy whose name I'm not even going to try to pronounce again was awful.
Basically canceled out all the value from Mike Timlin.
And the reason this is on the trade or this is on the list over some other ones is that
if you remember the 2000 and 2001 teams probably your best shot to win the world series both those years
their biggest weakness those years left field Jose Cruz
could have long Gonzalez to fill that hole yep they could have but they didn't now we've gone
a list of top five trades they didn't make yeah yeah um but uh that's like on the top five what
if uh trade list for sure but in 2000 and two thousand and two thousand
2001, Jose Cruz averaged in those two seasons, 258, 324, 497, 33 homers, 24 stolen bases.
He was actually an above average centerfielder those years.
So Mike Cameron and center, Jose Cruz, and left, each year old and right on that 2001 team.
He was only a two and a half one player each of those years because steroid era and he wasn't hitting 45 bombs and he wasn't, you know, on base.
38% of the time.
But the Mariners got nothing from the bullpen arms they received.
They traded six years of Jose Cruz Jr.
Who won a gold glove.
He was runner up and rookie of the year in 97.
And again, when you look at that 2000, 2001, those teams,
and you look at what they ran out there in left field with Stan Javier and Al Martin.
Plug Jose Cruz in that lineup.
Understand that that version of Jose Cruz is probably hitting like sixth or seventh in that lineup.
the Mariners win the 2001 World Series
if they don't make this trade
and one other trade
they made it that deadline
that we're going to get to.
This one
highly underrated
in terms of how terrible it was.
Yeah.
Because even the process behind this
is in,
imagine trading like Colt Emerson
for two Colin Snyders.
That's,
the equivalent except for Cruz made his major league debut and it was already really good yeah so it's not
it's like trading Brian Wu for two Colin Snyers what yeah so yeah just dreadful not enough people
talk about it although you know it happened almost 30 years ago now so I think we talk about it
plenty so number two uh yeah number two another uh good old fashion bill buvassi classic
uh we have adam jones Chris Tillman
George Cheryl.
Yeah.
For Eric Badaard.
Yeah.
Now,
Baderd was actually pretty good for the Mariners.
Yeah,
yeah,
when he pitched.
Yeah.
Which wasn't often.
He was terrible in that clubhouse.
Didn't like baseball.
Yeah.
And,
you know,
all the Mariners gave up was
All-Star left-handed closer,
like a number four starter
who kind of anchored Baltimore staff.
for like eight years.
And some guy named Adam Jones.
He became like the captain of Team USA and all star, center fielder and one of the faces of
baseball for a couple years, like not much to get Eric Bedard who.
Again, when he pitched, when he took the mound, it was actually pretty solid.
Eric Bedard was not terrible for the Mariners.
He wasn't Adam Jones.
He was basically Chris Tillman.
That's painful.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah.
That's a cautionary tale of going all in on a team that's not very good to begin with.
Yeah.
I, yeah, I knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it hurt any loss.
Yeah.
I mean, like basically.
I remember, I remember being in the car hearing that trade broken on the radio.
And like, I'm like, how old was at the time?
12, 11, I don't know.
So like, I don't know.
I'm like, hey, cool. Eric Padard.
I know he's an all star.
That's awesome.
And yeah.
Yikes.
Yeah.
Adam Jones,
he would have helped, you know,
just survive those 20, 2008 to like 2013 teams.
Yeah.
He would have made those years much more palatable.
Now, maybe you don't get Franklin Gutierrez.
if you keep Adam Jones maybe, but like
I'd rather have Adam Jones
respect to Goody
but yeah, I'd rather have
Goody if at it like they're healthiest
but like Adam Jones is
like Adam Jones
like we all know who Adam Jones is
and Adam Jones again Tillman and
Bedard were basically
a fair swap for each other
and the Mariners just happened to give up George
Cheryl who I think made two all-star teams
and Adam Jones
yeah
Yeah, that one stung.
So what trade could possibly top that?
Well, guys, you know, just to reiterate this point, the 1997 Seattle Mariners are the reason why we don't have a World Series trophy to celebrate, even though at this stage it would have been 23 years old.
Because in 1997, same deadline, they gave up Jose Cruz.
they also gave up a little known pitcher
named Derek Lowe
and another first round pick
highly touted catching prospect
to the Boston Red Sox by the name of
Jason Veritech.
Yeah.
You ever heard of him?
You remember Jason Veritech?
Was he any good?
The Mariners traded most of the guys
to the Red Sox for Heathcliff
Slowcomb.
Now, if you're
you maybe you're a younger viewer and you don't quite know this but all jason veritech was was the
captain of the uh red sox team that ended the drought and all-star switching and catcher cow
raleigh's idle like yeah do you feel like that's like some weird like energy like that the bears
wound up with cow raleigh after the after the vera like they kind of got like a second shot at
barre tech yeah um now i would say this uh cow raleigh is better than jason
of Ayrotech.
So that's cool.
But yeah, tech was a switch hitting catcher, made a couple all-star teams, had a couple MVP votes.
Yeah, like in 2000 and in 2001 as a part-time backup catcher, he was a one-and-half-one player.
He would have been starting for the Mariners over Dan Wilson in 2001.
He would have been starting for the Mariners in 2002 when the Mariners missed the playoffs,
despite winning 90-some-odd games.
Veritech was a very good player.
Derek Lowe turned out to be a very good pitcher.
Had some actually huge outings in the 2004 ALCS,
the comeback for Boston.
So those two players played huge roles
in turning the Red Sox around and breaking the drought.
And the Mariners got Heathcliff Slocombe,
who is along with Bobby Iylla,
like some of the most.
hated players strictly for on-field performance in the history of the Seattle Mariner.
So, yeah, in 97, that trade deadline of 97, the Marriers, who did win the division, to be fair,
they didn't make the playoffs out here.
Yeah.
They sacrificed to get those three relievers, Paul's Flauchick or whatever.
Mike Timlin, ironically, also ended up pitching for the Red Sox.
And Heathcliff's slowcomb to fix their bullpen, the Mariners gave up.
18 years combined of Jason Veritech, Jose Cruz, and Derek Lowe.
The 1997 Seattle Mariners, that deadline, cost you a World Series.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah.
Because you take that 2001 team, add Veritech, add Lowe, add Cruz to it.
Come on.
That team wins the World Series.
I might cry on this episode.
So, congrats.
You won the division in 97.
It's the only year you didn't win a playoff series.
You ran into a really good Baltimore team that year.
But the 97 mirrors, kind of the forgotten team, 95, obviously, the first ones to do it.
2000, you know, it was the first pre-Griffy year and all that.
And it's, you know, blah, blah, blah.
You have the bunt, the suicide squeeze from Gia.
It's memorable.
2001.
Obviously, they win even 2020 to the big walkoff, the 14-game win streak.
It's Julio.
It's the new era.
The 97 team.
largely forgotten despite, you know, best year of Griffey, Edgar, you saw it, Randy Johnson,
you saw it, Buneer.
It's a really good team.
Yeah.
Too good, as it turns out, because the belief that they could win the World Series that
year cost you the 2001 World Series.
But it's also a little bit hard to blame them for believing that because when you look at
that 97 roster, it was really good.
They needed starting pitching more than they need bullpen help, though, but whatever.
Like, we can go through this over and over again.
Ultimately, you want your.
team to be aggressive when they have a shot to win the World Series like the Mariners thought they did.
But sometimes it comes back to bite you.
With the benefit of hindsight, we look at that.
And although I will say trading, you know, like two top 10 picks who were either in the big
leagues are about to make their big league debut for relievers, not even like really good ones,
I feel like you should have saw that one, you know, coming from a mile away and say that way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that was utterly depressing.
Thank you for that.
if you think that Colby missed any trades, it's possible.
There's been a lot of bad trades in Marius history.
Let us know in the comments below.
It's awesome being a Maris fan.
I love it.
Tried ends up.
Ha ha, ha, ha.
All right, so it's time for my top five walk-up songs for the 2024 Mariner.
So I already recorded this Colby, but once I got to that part in the episode when I was editing,
started getting really laggy and audio was jumping around it was kind of glitchy for about
the last five to seven minutes of the recording apparently streamyard's been going through
technical issues today we got a couple of emails about that from our network so i assume that's
the cause and hopefully this recording is is fine i mean if you're watching it it is um
but yeah so i'm re-recording it um on my own here
should be pretty quick.
This is a pretty quick list.
But top five walk-up songs now.
Bear in mind,
I haven't gone to a Marinus home game since 2008.
So I have no clue how any of these songs work in T-Mobile Park.
So I'm kind of having to use my imagination outside of, you know,
hearing the songs play through the TV broadcast.
I'm also only using hitter walk-up songs.
I'm not using reliever run-out songs or,
starting pitcher warm-up songs, just strictly hitter walk-up songs.
And this isn't just the five best songs used by Mariners hitters in 2024.
No, it's what actually works as a walk-up song.
What part of the song they use, all that is being taken into account here.
So number five, Julio had quite a few walk-up songs over the course of the year.
But earlier on in the year, he had armed and dangerous by Juice World, which is,
One of my favorite juice world songs, RIP juice.
And I can just imagine like late spring, early summer, sun's starting to go down.
You got all the cool colors in the sky.
Armed Endangerous is blaring on the PA system.
And you got 44 walking in the box.
Vives are great.
So I had to put Armand Dangerous there at number five.
Number four, a bit pandering on Justin Turner's part.
Like he even admitted like he wanted something.
then, you know, Seattle, uh, related, uh, as his walk-up song.
So he picked Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, but it's a great song.
So had to put it on there.
Um, number three, Josh Rojas, who isn't on the team anymore, but, uh, had a couple of really good, uh, walk-up song choices over the course of the year, rolling in the deep by Adele.
That's not what made my list.
What did make my list, though, was, uh, memories by David Getta.
And of course, Kit Cutty, which, I mean, if you're watching on.
on YouTube, you can tell by my background.
If you have Kid Cutty as your walk-up song, you're going to get bonus points with me.
And obviously, Memories is like an all-time party stadium song, so it had to go on here.
Number two, Ambitions as a Rida by Tupac for Cal Raleigh, which I didn't know Cal had this in
his bag, but I'm very glad that he did because it actually fits pretty well for Cal.
and yeah this is obviously pox one of pox's most famous songs it wouldn't be top five for me personally
for for two pox songs but it is a good song and again i think it's a really good fit for for cal
uh number one he only used it a handful of times this past year actually i don't i don't know
how many times he used it i know he brought it back for like one game back in march when
everyone was like, wait, it's gone.
Why did he get rid of it?
I don't know if he used it more over the course of the year.
Let me know down in the comments below.
But it's missed the rage by Playboy Cardi and Trippy Red for J.P. Crawford,
which he used over the course of 2023.
And that song, frankly, became synonymous with J.P. Crawford for me.
Like, I hear that song.
I hear that heavy synth.
At the beginning of that song, I immediately think J.P.
Crawford.
and yeah he's messing up not having that as his as his walk-up song for forever and I'm not the only one
that has signed this petition Ben Reneery as well our good friend from C-level is also on the
bring back the miss the rage train so yeah bring it back J-P like you have to it's just it's perfect
for you and it's just it's awesome like even just hearing it through the broadcast it's
sounds super sick in that stadium.
I can only imagine how it sounds actually being there in the ballpark.
I hear great things about it.
A lot of people love, miss the rage for JP.
He's got to bring it back.
So there you go.
That's my top five walk-up songs for the 2024 Marries list.
And that's going to do it for top five Tuesday here for the next little while.
Because again, we're going back to three shows a week next week.
