FanPost Friday: What do the 2024 Seattle Mariners need?

mfw the divisional lead dwindles because the team can’t hit

Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. The Mariners are still in first place in the AL West in spite of another dismal road trip. At least they had the decency to win a laffer last Saturday while a group of devoted LL readers gathered at Growler Guys to watch. That was fun! Thank you all for coming out! However, the rest of the road trip was quite forgettable.

We’ve got about five weeks to go until the July 30 MLB Trade Deadline, but the clamoring for the Mariners to make a significant move to help the offense has already gotten quite loud. The need is real and why not take care of it while the team is still in first place instead waiting until things get more desperate?

So it’s time to hit some very important polls. More important that the All-Star Game voting polls because we all know none of the Mariners position players deserve to go (Besides Cal, but no one outside the region will vote for him) and the selection of the pitchers for the roster is completely out of our hands. So! Let’s talk TRADE DEADLINE PROPOSALS.

And finally, a prompt:

Give us your trade deadline proposals!

Hit the comments and give us the top moves you’d like Jerry Dipoto to make. Realistic, outlandish, boring, or near-impossible....we want to hear ‘em all!

Have a great weekend and let’s hope for a resoundingly solid home stand for the Mariners. Byeeeee!
