Seattle Mariners fans seem averse to trading top prospects for offensive help at the trade deadline, despite the clear need for that help. So, why are fans so paranoid? Here's why:
Sometimes it's a cathartic exercise where I find people who affirm how I think and feel. Sometimes it's a beneficial exercise where I'm challenged in that way of thinking and made smarter. And sometimes, I'm just inspired by what other people say and I give what they say a deep dive.
That account was making its case for the Mariners to go out and take a swing at the trade deadline. We know that the M's need help offensively, and we've seen them linked to popular names like Luis Robert Jr., Vlad Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Pete Alonso. The account was saying that despite the prospect cost, it would be worth it for the team to take a shot to try to win a World Series for the first time ever.
So, I just got to thinking: Why are several Mariners fans so averse to trading prospects? There's really four reasons.We've seen this time and time again, right? John Stanton and his crew do not want to spend big on free agents. Yes, they spent on Robbie Ray, but otherwise, the M's are constantly shopping for bargains on the outside market. With the ROOT Sports issues, that position seems destined to continue.
