Traded to Houston while they were playing Houston in a series. Lose rest of games in series.

Lose 2 of 3 against the Rangers, with two blown saves

Entire team is in revolt against the retarded GM for dumping players in a playoff race. Team hasn’t made the postseason since 2001

It's understandable for the M's to be pissed about the Graveman trade at the time, and it sucked the air out of a team with some good momentum. That said, the Graveman/Chargois/etc. for Toro/Castillo/etc. trade makes a lot of sense.

I'm as down on the M's historical mismanagement as anyone, but this trade is not that bad, and might look pretty dang good by next year.

They trade a couple months of Graveman for a couple years of Castillo, and could easily have Graveman back next year. Toro looks like he could be a pretty good producer too.

The date of your article was right after the trade and before the deadline (and the blown saves). Dipoto had to do the trade ASAP because the other guy included (who is shit pure shit) was already DFA and it was time sensitive.

They like Graverman because he rehabbed all the way back with the team and he's overachieved but he was on a one year and they weren't going to pay him next year. He was always a deadline move piece and the guy they got back from the Astros has gone like 9/19 with 2 dingers since coming over.

This Mariners team was never going to seriously contend for a wild card spot and that says more to how MLB is constructed right now. I got to pay attention until August. That's as good as gets for Ms fans these days.

Graveman was not shit at all, and the bullpen was one of the brightest lights for the Mariners this year. But you're right that this trade makes a lot of sense. It was more shitty timing than anything.

The Graveman/Toro trade has to be evaluated in the context of the Chargois/Castillo trade later in the week.

Graveman was only under contract through this season, but Castillo is under contract for a couple years. So they lost a couple months of a closer who had been good this year but didn't have a long track record of success, and 30-year-old setup/middle reliever who also had a good year but not a track record of success, and got a couples years' control of a good closer with a multi-year track record of success, and a young infielder that fills a position of need and looks to be an offensive producer.

Castillo blew a save in his first appearance with the M's, which sucks, but he's got a good track record. Toro homered in his first two games as a Mariner.

It's now called T-Mobile. It's a great stadium. Hard to judge the current "experience" since it only just reopened fully and the team hasn't been good (i.e., somewhat consistently over .500) until very recently.

I went to a day game last week against the Astros and it was kind of dead (giving up at least one run every inning after the first didn't help).

They're above average. Rizzs and Sims are very good and good storytellers. Good background voices. Goldy has really evolved into a better broadcaster, and then rest are a revolving cast of former players who mostly just come on to hump the corpse of 1995 and 2001.

Like everything else about this team, it's good to very good, so long as you don't prioritize actually winning something.
