What version of the Seattle Mariners does Jeff Passan like more: the 2023 roster or the 2024 roster? 

Another masterclass by Dipoto. Incredible what he has done with the financial restraints from ownership

I love the banter between these guys! I'm semi-optimistic about the 2024 season, but am a little concerned about how many things have to go right in order for the Mariners to have a really good season. I can't wait for the season to start though!

In the beginning of the segment, I didn’t know Jeff’s voice could crack like that.

love jeff passan on the show!

This team definitely looks better than last years barring injury, the offensive depth is a lot better, the young rotation arms will likely take a step forward, and the bullpen looks to be pretty lights out

I'm ready for some Seattle baseball. LETS GO MARINERS. . SEATTLE ALL THE WAY. . SEA US RISE. . ⚾⚾💙💙⚾⚾💙💙⚾⚾💙💙⚾⚾💙💙⚾⚾⚾💙💙💙💙

Pre 2023 I can remember a lot of people being happy about the Kolten Wong deal and a lot of the stuff being said about Ty France now was basically being said about JP Crawford then, before Robbie Ray got hurt and Sewald got traded the pitching staff was looking just as strong, adding Teo and the way Kelenic, Cal and Genio ended 2022 i felt as good about the 2023 bats as I do now, just like last year some players we expect to work out will be a disapointment and others like JP last year will be a pleasant surprise, but I’m very optimistic and happy with the job Dipoto did one thing I’ll say about players like Haniger and Polanco although injury prone in recent years I feel like if they have anything left then they are due and will show it this year, you can even throw Rojas in there, multiple guys are capable of stepping up and having career years or coming close to it

Anybody think it’s crazy we have 3 top relievers hopefully with nasty stuff for 5 years if we want.

People are sleeping on this 2024 team maybe I’m wrong but all these latest moves have been solid the buy not sell moves.

I’m hyped for this season. I like this team a lot. Jerry and company did a great job imo. If Ty France turns BACK into Ty France that would be HUGRE

There are legitimate reasons, other than payroll, not to trade a huge chunk of your future for 1 season of Juan Soto.

Brock on the dial up...

“Would you rather have 10 dollars or 20 dollars?”

For the last 3 years, the M’s have been hovering near 500 by 1st week of July.. It might take long for the players to gel and get used to their roles on this team. Scott Servais has a tougher job because there are a lot of new players outside the organization that he isn’t familiar with. This team will be slower to get out of the gate. With the new offensive philosophy, the fans need to be patient for this to gain traction among the players.

Mariners should sign yusiel puig. It will go against mariners good image but his big bat would send M’s over the top

Sorry, still not convinced that they did enough. Where did we improve offensively? Listening to 710 today I heard that the new reliever will be valuable because there will be a lot of 3-2 games… Why should I even watch? I am just tired of this team not scoring. Can someone sell me that this team is not going to be a chore to watch?

Pitching is going to carry the 2024 mariners....

Passans analysis continues to be piss poor. No clue why you continue to have him on for analysis. Just pick his brain on FA or who’s on the trade market, thats all he’s good for. It’s a guarantee he’s going to say something objectively stupid. Whether it’s “the Mariners play in a dome” or today’s “Mariners starting pitching was healthy last year” this dude continues to PROVE he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. You ask him a question and he gives you the prevailing takes found on Twitter. He’s a fool.

After these poor off-season trades, it is no wonder that the M's have not had much success for the past 8 years... 2024 will be like playing on hopes and a prayers, good luck...the M's will need some.

The M's don't want to win they want to go far and make noise and ultimately just make profit but we need to start calling out the owner for letting a whole community down by not trying to win but trying to just make profit

The roster looked better to start 2023. If there is no player regression or injuries I guess they could win 54% of their games.

Is anyone else really worried Kelnic is gonna just go off in Atlanta and be a 30-30 guy?

Mariners committed to getting questionable guys health wise and guys who are hit/miss in general by year and by ballpark and by team they are on. Go get a solid player who is good every year in every park that the whole league wants. It is that simple. Twitter and podcast bros too high on dipoto and are back to the boot licking big time lately. That being said I think this team wins about the same amount of games as last yr and finishes 3rd maybe 2nd in the division. NOT GOOD ENOUGH

"On paper" their off-season moves have lost them >6 WAR. The obvious statement to make is, players can't accrue stats and positive WAR from the injured list. IF the players they brought in stay on the field, that number changes for the better. That's obviously BY FAR the biggest "IF" of the season. While their moves this off season have made a lot of sense, that gamble cannot be overlooked or overstated.

Still should have kept Suarez

I see ANOTHER 88 win (3rd place) season......Mariners stuck in "GOOD" mode without any true difference makers.

Julio Rodriguez walks into a bar. Bartender* asks him: - "Why the Long-Ball?" *For context, the Bartender was a horse. 🐴😂

Sign Trevor Bauer. He seems to be injured free. I don’t see anything wrong physically. He didn’t pitch in the majors last 2 years, but should be ready for the preseason. I’m sure that he’ll sign a 1 year contract with minimal salary. I believe that he has Cy Young capabilities just like Blake Snell, but is a cheaper option. His last 2 years in the MLB was pretty good. It should be a no-brainer. He is certainly better than any of the backup pitchers on 40 man roster. I’m surprised that the M’s haven’t taken a flyer on him. He could be the hidden gem of free agent pitchers this off-season. There seems to be no competition for his services which means he could be had on the cheap. He could be better than Miller or Woo.

Spend a minute listing things you have to not consider to feel good about it. Passan sucks just like the vacuum hes putting all these things into.
