Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“This way we can look in its entirety, and see if the Mariners truly got better or not at the 2021 Trade Deadline. I think this becomes a good way to look at the deadline and the trades that the Mariners made. Mariners Received: Joe Smith Abraham Toro Tyler Anderson Diego Castillo Mariners Sent out: JT Chargois Austin Shenton Rafael Montero Kendall Graveman Carter Bins Joaquin Tejada So what does it all mean when you look at it as a whole? First off, Montero is gone. Let’s grade the entirety of the trades the Mariners made at the 2021 deadline.”
“After what was arguably the wildest trade deadline in years with dozens of deals around the league, multiple teams made follow-up roster moves. Trades end up squeezing some players off of rosters, or creating holes that need to be filled. This post will itemize the many 40-man roster moves that teams made after a dizzying…”

“Sure, it’s the Rangers – or whatever gristly bits are left of them after their trade deadline inferno – but if you want a chance to beat real teams in the postseason, you’ve got to take advantage of this type of team in the regular season. The M’s are now 8-3 vs the Rangers this season, with eight more games left to play against the cellar-dwellers of the division. [Jarred Kelenic’s hyped, determined internal monologue] Jarred’s coming out of his cage and he’s been doing just fine Gotta gotta be up (outta Tacoma) because he wants it all He started out hitless; [how did I end up like this? It was only a hit; I’d had plenty of hits] Now he’s not falling for curves, and Allard’s throwing two balls Then he’s hurlin a cutter and Jarred’s sick of waiting for calls Now his bat’s cocking back and his front foot lift-plants And it’s over the plate, but Jarred’s crushing this Pitch now, ball’s flyin’ through the Zone now, let the bat (and tongue) goooooo *** After skittering steadily downhill following Monday night’s comeback high, this game felt like the full-body relief of finding your keys after losing them on said slope. The bullpen, down two solid arms, gave up just one run and new friend Diego Castillo made his Mariners debut with a scoreless ninth inning.”
““It was great,” Kelenic said. “I’m just trying to stay positive and continue to work my tail off,” Kelenic said. “And it’s gonna have to come from all different parts of the lineup, and you never know what night what guy is going to click, and tonight was his night. But with one swing of the bat in Friday’s 9-5 series opening win over the Rangers at Globe Life Field, Kelenic quickly reminded fans of his potential as he clobbered a three-run moonshot as part of a 2-for-5, four RBI night.”
“We added stability to our starting rotation,” Dipoto said. “I’m pleased with the things that we’ve done,” Dipoto said of the Deadline. Kris Bryant, a rental, cost the Giants their Nos. … We were resistant to trading our top prospects for short-term gains.” “The sensitive position of that is, I guess juxtaposed to pouring it all in for a run as a Wild Card threat in a division where we trail the leader by a considerable amount,” Dipoto said.”
“(Last updated: July 7) RHP Ken Giles (Tommy John surgery) Expected return: 2022 The Mariners signed Giles on Feb. (Last updated: July 7) RHP Ljay Newsome (right UCL) Expected return: 2022 Newsome underwent Tommy John surgery and is recovering at the club’s Spring Training facility in Peoria, Ariz. (Last updated: July 30) 10-day IL RHP Justin Dunn (right shoulder strain) Expected return: A few more weeks Dunn is still further behind than Justus Sheffield, but he could be progressing toward a bullpen and live BP soon. (Last updated: July 17) UTIL Sam Haggerty (right shoulder inflammation) Expected return: TBD Haggerty is back recovering at the Mariners’ Spring Training facility in Arizona.”
