Last week, as we learned about the deeply upsetting accusations made by Dr. Lorena Martin against the Mariners, alleging racism and sexism permeates the club’s front office, it was difficult for us at LL to do anything other than try to process the information. While we are still very much preoccupied with this situation, and hold it in the forefront of our minds when thinking about and talking about the club, we are also coming to the point where the off-season is going to start churning in earnest. The deadline for adding players to the 40-man in order to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft is on Tuesday, meaning clubs will start to accelerate trade talks regarding prospects they have left unprotected in order to extract some value before losing them in the draft.
