I know it is not baseball season. But being a long suffering Seattle Mariner fan we need to do a rebuild of sorts. A big part of that was trading James Paxton.
We need younger talent and lots of it. Paxton should bolster your pitching staff for a few years. He could even be one of the best next year for you.
I hope Sheffield will be the front of the rotation guy we need in a few years. Maybe the other two guys will help also.
We have more pieces to move. Hopefully we will be able to get a bunch of younger quality players to bolster our last place farm system. Maybe in three or four years we can give Houston a go.

I didn’t like it at first, but now I think I do.

And like Dipoto said today — ‘we’re building for 2020, 2021’.

Sucks, but what’s another ~5 years?
