Apologies for the audio issues on my end. Had to record on my old Macbook with my old audio interface tonight and the noise gate was cranked way too high and my levels were off. Tried to do my best to salvage it in post-production.
You guys got a good one, Mariner fans. He's not having a great year, but we all know Randy turns into Babe Ruth during the post season. Fans are going to love him as a person too
Rays fan here, thanks for the insight on Hopkins and Smith. I think you know what you have in Arozarena, but I would add that there are times when he can carry the team for a couple of weeks.
Glad they got him, but being cautiously optimistic since I was fired up when they acquired Polanco and we know how that's gone. Jerry/Justin are kinda due for a trade acquisition to work out. lol TBF, Raley has been alright. Anxious to hear his thoughts on being teammates again with Randy. Also, FWIW Randy has 178 wRC+ batting 4th and only a 71 wRC+ batting 3rd. Julio has only a 69 wRC+ batting 2nd this year and a 105 wRC+ batting 3rd. Hope they acquire a legitimate bat or 2 that is comfortable hitting at the top of the order.
Difference as they said you never know how people will perform making the switch to t-mobile, but it helps when they have a past of hitting in t mobile, garver was like 0-33 or something in t-mobile when we got him, Polanco not alot better, randy hits .289/.333/.511 in t-mobile... just saying you don't know how they will make the switch work but I like this guy alot for us, his energy and good vibes will surely help this squad even if he continues to have an off season
Yo, Locked On Crew! Could we break down on the show exactly WHY it's so hard to hit at T-Mobile Park? There's obviously the early season marine layer that makes homeruns fly balls and the weird batter's eye, but how much of this is actually legit? From what I gather, Mike Trout loves our batters eye and Ichiro managed to hit over .300 here for 10 straight seasons so this can't be the whole story. Almost every single player we trade for regresses at T-Mobile, and some flat out just suck after 3 months. What actually gives? P.S Stoked for Arozarena trade. Hoping he does well this year.
Their goal should be 2 more stars and a role bat. 2 more average bats doesnt win you a divison. Houstons whole lineup, player for player will still be much better than us
As a Rays fan this is absolutely unacceptable. Whoever is running things in the Rays office is making terrible decisions. The amount of stars we have given away to other teams in the last 3 years is beyond me and yet we have not made any progress and no championship.
They really need to address a corner infield spot. There is no power coming from 3B or 1B at the moment. Really can’t wait on Locklear at the moment. All options should be on the table. I’d be shocked if Harry Ford was still a Mariner in 4 days.
The best part about this trade is if Randy and JP get on the base paths together, both of their helmets fly off while running. It will be a spectacle of the highest order and I CANNOT wait.
"Part of the Ship, part of the Crew" Lets hope this is not like '22's trade deadline and we actually get more to add. Farms are rebuildable and this group has shown they can do it. If Jerry and company want to keep their job. They need to make another move and get us to the post season.
@jarrettchristensen_music seattle will always have to overpay for elite talent. Until we win a WS or 2 we aren't a premier destination for these guys. So you have to over pay
@@ericcarlson924 You're confusing overpaying because teams have leverage at the deadline vs our ability to attract free agents in the offseason. We could win three WS in a row and like any other team would be overpaying for the top production in season at the deadline. Two different issues.
They didn’t even trade any of their top guys which I love that they didn’t. But let’s go get 1-2 more bats and some damn good ones. We could get away with dealing one too 5 and some change for a great bar and a top 10 and mid teens for another very solid if we need it. Please don’t be done dipoto the injuries right now mean we absolutely have to make more moves
His average has decreased every year of his career, he strikes out a ton, he’s pushing 30, he’s hitting under the M’s team average(!), and he’s had babymama drama. Warm up the marine layer/batter eye excuses.
i think ownership got scared that they weren't going to be in contention for the playoffs. End of regular season september money was in jeopardy if they didn't get a bat lol
Randyyyyyyy! Planted my flag with this guy for a trade each of the last 3 acquisition periods. Absolutely FIRED UP about this one and there is no chance we are done. I understand trades are more likely not made than they are likely to be made, but based on the pieces still available and all the smoke around the Sox, I'm gives the M's a plus-shot to also land Robert and say 'top this' to the rest of the AL West. If Stanton allows it, Jerry will get it done. Please, please, pleeeaaase let Jerry cook. By the way, IF that happens you are officially committing to Luke Raley as the 1B, which means a 3-for-2 swap, both corner OF and 1B. Ifwe can't get Vlad... this would be a more than suitable move to address the position. This lineup once Julio and eventually JP get back could go from near unwatchable to one of the more fun lineups in baseball in a blink.
The Mariner's have made me very pessimistic this year. I hate saying that but I can't lie. I don't feel like this puts us over by a long shot. Forgive my attitude but I've been invested in the Mariners for my entire life of 42 years and there are far more disappointments in that time than excitement. I hope this fixes the problem but it's only 1 bat.
We have enough in the vault to make a few splashes for Alonzo/Nimmo or Chisholm/Bell /Burger/Scott/Alcantara/De la Cruz or Reynolds/Cruz what is there should land us some big fish
@@Sammy_Boy_Smith Chisholm is available too, but you could make a substantial offer with what we’ve got and get the deal done burger would hit well in Seattle
@@jameswelch82 we don't talked about career. We talked about this season. What makes u think they trade prospects in mid season? Unless u guys sincerely gave up about this season then sure 🤷♂️
@@JDZWHO indeed it's not important but we talking about mariners with team batting average of 0.216 and obp under 300. Adding arozarena is not helping in this case. But sure I give mariners credit for long run players.
@snorlax8963 alright great let's talk about this season. Since June, so the most recent 2 months, he's batting .290 with an excellent slash line. He's hitting at an all-star level right now, as in at this exact moment we acquired him. We essentially got an all star level hitter at a position of need for 2 1/2 years and it didn't even cost us a top 10 prospect. You are the only person on planet Earth who wouldn't immediately accept that trade. His batting average at T-mobile park is over .280. He got 2nd place in the HR derby at T-mobile park. And he's only costing us about 8 mil a year, 3 mil this season. My point is, quit being a hater. Be happy the mariners went out and got a guy who is an all star level player with a good track record, is cheap on the payroll, was cheap to aquire, we will have him for multiple seasons in his prime (he's only 29) and for the love of God someone who will bring some energy to this historically bad offense.
If they get another bat like I thought they would months ago they will be able to turn things around. You got to go all in on this season the team is too good.
Thank the Lord the Mariners made a big move! We really did need to see this! I think the team needed this not only on the field but also just to get off the negative train..
I cant believe the mariners havent moved in the fences at tmobile a little. Ownership are revenue hungery monsters and shorter fences means more room for seats😂
I think Randy will help this dreadful lineup. He's not a game changer by himself though. Need more hitters. It was a good trade for the FO. They just got the equivalent of Robert Jr at a much cheaper price.
Apologies for the audio issues on my end. Had to record on my old Macbook with my old audio interface tonight and the noise gate was cranked way too high and my levels were off. Tried to do my best to salvage it in post-production.
sounded good from this end, not sure about everyone else though
Sounds great on my end
Love this trade
Sounds fine
Didn’t notice any difference … it was your commentary that counted!! 👍
As a rays fan it sucks but I hope he brings as much joy to you guys as he did for us. GO RANDY GO MARINERS please win the AL West
This is the happiest I have you two in 3 months.
Heard?
Seen?
You guys got a good one, Mariner fans. He's not having a great year, but we all know Randy turns into Babe Ruth during the post season. Fans are going to love him as a person too
Slow start, but since June 1 he's been a monster at the plate: 284/397/507 ... 161 wRC+
Rays fan here, thanks for the insight on Hopkins and Smith. I think you know what you have in Arozarena, but I would add that there are times when he can carry the team for a couple of weeks.
If this guy can hit his way out of a wet paper bag, this is a HUGE upgrade!

Let’s goooooo
But hopefully we get a few more deals this better not be it
Okay, but has to be the first of a few "major" acquisition moves or it certainly won't be enough.
Looking forward to the energy-addition, he will lift up the team. I hope he hits too.
Manifesting a Arozarena, Julio & Roberts Jr. outfield for the next three years :) Let's goooooo!!!
Three players playing trade-me-ball... way to go!

More to come too. Top prospects still available
Haven't seen all the mariners media people this happy in a month! Wanted this guy all off-season, woooohoooo!
I don't think I have seen Ty this animated before.
Also adding Vlad Jr AND Luis Roberts would be my absolute dream deadline I think
🖐🛥🧒
WE GOT RANDY

Even tho harry ford could be a duo with cal in the future, he might not be a mariner in the next couple of days.
Ford, Hancock, and an outfield prospect for Vlad. That’s what I’m hoping for, but probably won’t happen.
@@jasondousett3620 that’s honestly not enough to even get Vlad

I am hungry for more!

My quick reaction when I saw this last night: Nice! What's next?
This is a great start, still need one more bat. Would love Rengifo from Anaheim here also.
As a Rays fan how should I feel about these prospects? You're getting a great dude in Randy. He's been playing great the past 70 games.
Is there a path and possible way we could get Robert and Vlad? That is my dream atm
I think they would have to massively overpay for both
Absolutely there is. They didn't give up any big name prospects for randy. And obviously they have to do something with 1st base. Why not vlad jr?
@jarrettchristensen_music seattle will always have to overpay for elite talent. Until we win a WS or 2 we aren't a premier destination for these guys. So you have to over pay
Jays are in desperate need for a young catcher (Harry Ford?), a pitcher (Hancock?), and a couple young prospects (infield, outfield) for Vladdy????
@@ericcarlson924 You're confusing overpaying because teams have leverage at the deadline vs our ability to attract free agents in the offseason. We could win three WS in a row and like any other team would be overpaying for the top production in season at the deadline. Two different issues.

We should get Robert and India if his price isn't too high, Dejong would be good too, I'd take India over him
His average has decreased every year of his career, he strikes out a ton, he’s pushing 30, he’s hitting under the M’s team average(!), and he’s had babymama drama. Warm up the marine layer/batter eye excuses.
De q hablas Randy está calentándose cada día q pasa sin contar q en play off se transforma en una máquina de batear y robar base
Trade France for Dolbec /McGuire I think a stint at home would help him Dolbec
The odds of this poor guy catching the Mariner plague and goes into a 50 game hitting slump 😁🥴
i think ownership got scared that they weren't going to be in contention for the playoffs. End of regular season september money was in jeopardy if they didn't get a bat lol
Actually possible Outfield: Luis Robert, Julio, Randy Arozarena (move Raley to 1B)

Traigan a yandy dias también
Another strike out machine and very low bat avg. About the same obp with highest mariners players on the roster.
He's a career .255 hitter. And since June he's batting almost .300. Be happy.

Get Vladdy!!

Arozarena has a high ceiling and he didn't cost a lot. He has also been on a bit of a tear lately. Good deal for the M's.
