00:00Uh, so Seattle is another interesting club around because, you know, I think they sort

00:11of owe it to the fans here to go for it a little bit, but I'm just not quite sure what

00:14they can accomplish at this point.

00:16Their offense is just so inept.

00:18You know, they, they do have a nice farm system of some young players, which we'll take a

00:22look at here.

00:23Uh, do you see any of these players being involved in a deal that can get them something

00:29back of substance that can help them down the stretch?

00:32It seems like Logan Evans, uh, you know, is a guy that's, it's part of their plan this

00:36year.

00:37Even, uh, they had him throwing, you know, one inning and two inning spurts of late to

00:41preserve his innings so that he can throw later into the season.

00:44He's been a revelation for them, just an absolute breakout as just another arm as they continue

00:48to do that.

00:49Locklear seems like he's going straight to first base after they DFA tie France and Locklear

00:54has earned that really impressive power bat that has improved in a lot of questions that

00:58people had, uh, this year.

00:59And then Emerson, they seem to feel like he's untouchable.

01:02So those guys and, and from Ella tours ACL, so that's what makes it a little bit tougher.

01:07But another farm system here where you have Harry Ford, a catcher that a lot of people

01:10would love to have, and you know, doesn't have a direct line to opportunity anytime

01:14soon.

01:15Lazaro Montes is a clear cut.

01:16One of the best bats in the minor leagues, like they still have a bunch of other guys

01:19that they could move and still go get somebody like a jazz Chisholm who I know may not bring

01:25in the most insane package that, that people may think, like, I still feel like the Mariners

01:29could put together a package of their second tier quote unquote prospects with Tai Pete

01:34and several others and be able to go get a Brandon Lowe, Elaine, maybe not Elaine Thomas,

01:38but a jazz Chisholm or Michael Conforto.

01:41So that, that does make me a little bit optimistic that even from their second tier, they could

01:44go get a guy.
