Justin Smoak → AAA Tacoma Milton Bradley → 15-day DL Sean White → Mariners Matt Tuiasosopo → Mariners No Mariners were traded today. Smoak has been terrible since joining the Mariners.  While I didn’t necessarily expect this, it’s not surprising either.  Obviously, Smoak won’t be gone long.  September is just a month away, and it [...]

With the Trade Deadline just under thirteen hours away (just after 1PM Pacific time), I figured this would be a good time to talk about the Mariners’ trade opportunities and look at a couple of the notable trades that have already happened.  Right now, I’ll be looking at one rumor in particular, and in the [...]

The chances that RRS has a back injury that deserves a DL stint are slim to none.  Given that RRS doesn’t have any minor league options remaining and the team [...]

June 21st: The 2010 season has seen a lot go wrong for the Mariners, making it easy to lose sight of what has gone right.  Ichiro, predictably, is one of the pieces that did everything the Mariners needed him to do. Ichiro has quietly hit .336/.388/.438 while playing great defense, something we’ve come to expect [...]
