Thursday was a big day for those of us who are super into online baseball discourse. It's the day that MLB Trade Rumors released their predictions for this winter's free agent market, and you'll come away knowing a lot more if you take the time to read all 25,000 words of it.
Or, you could just do what we did: Do a CTRL+F for "Mariners" and come away knowing just a little more... and honestly, a little disappointed.
The Mariners are mentioned consistently, yet are only predicted by the four writers — Steve Adams, Anthony Franco, Darragh McDonald and Tim Dierkes — as a destination for four free agents:
- Josh Naylor: 3 out of 4
- Jorge Polanco: 2 out of 4
- Ryan O'Hearn: 1 out of 4
- Luke Weaver: 1 out of 4
That's it, and it's notable that only Naylor comes close to a consensus vote.
