Seattle acquiring him for RJ Schreck an AA OF. Ninth rd pick a year ago, just promoted from A+, 29th on the Mariners prospect list. Seattle absorbing all of the remaining Turner salary.

As per mlbtraderumors, depending on the cash we sent Seattle, we should be about $5 million over. A trade of Kikuchi and one of Chad Green or IKF should get us there. It's an interesting development, if not all that meaningful for this year, as we won't be qualifying anyone. We will, however no longer have to surrender a fifth along with a second if we do sign someone that another team has qualified.

The issue is whether they are going to stick with the fiction that guys like IKF and Green are really crucial for some mythical competitiveness in 2025. IKF is no longer needed - and ready to return, he played in two games at Buffalo on the weekend. Green is a pricey reliever, doing very well but the money he's paid could get you two decent relievers during the winter. Both are ideal sell-high situations.

Just taking a cursory glance at his stats, looks like a good OBP guy at least.

Some of the guys we are taking on, I believe are Rule 5 Eligible, so that means we will have to protect them this upcoming draft or lose them to a team. Not sure if this guy is one of them, but he is 24 and been with the mariners farm team for 4 years I believe?

They've been in on both Flaherty and Kikuchi.

Hope there is more but I guess the way Yusei pitched the last little bit, not sure we could have gotten more. Too bad he didn't pitch the same as last year

Bloss is a big acquisition my guy. Mid-rotation upside drafted just last year and already making MLB starts.

He's getting killed in his starts might be not ready and being forced to start for Houston cause they have no one else at this point

You're wrong, and that's OK.
