Seattle Sportsblog A place for Seattle Sports fans. I write a sportsblog called Seattle Sportsblog which covers many topics but mostly Seattle Sports.

I created my blog on July 7th, 2010 and so far it has been a terrific first year.

Seattle Mariners complete a sweep of the Detroit Tigers with an 8-4 victory. Jorge Polanco delivers a crucial pinch-hit go-ahead home run. Logan Gilbert strikes out 9 in 5.1 innings pitched, allowing zero earned runs.

Julio Rodriguez hits a home run for the third consecutive game, driving in two runs and stealing a base. Randy Arozarena hits a game-tying home run and later a game-tying double.

Notably, Cole Young and Mitch Garver also hit home runs. This sweep is a significant momentum boost heading into the All-Star Break.

Hopefully, the NBA will ultimately recognize its need for Seattle, which is equivalent to, if not greater than, Seattle's need for the NBA.

Here is the latest mock trade proposal for the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks. The Mariners' offense would instantly become formidable with the additions of Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor. However, this package appears to be quite expensive, considering both players are potential rentals.

The Mariners would acquire Suarez, who is currently hitting .249/.318/.568, boasting an .886 OPS, 31 home runs, and 77 RBI's, with a 2.9 WAR. Suarez would provide a significant power boost, potentially replacing Williamson or allowing for creative lineup configurations, such as Jorge Polanco taking over at second base, with Suarez serving as the designated hitter.

Additionally, Naylor would bring a .295/.364/.460 batting line, an .823 OPS, 11 home runs, and 58 RBI's, with a 1.2 WAR. Naylor could potentially replace Luke Raley or Donovan Solano in the lineup or serve as the designated hitter, with Polanco playing second base.

With these two additions, the Mariners would have five players on their roster with an OPS over .800 and nine players with an OPS over .700, instantly making them one of the most formidable lineups.

However, it is crucial to consider the negotiations, as the Mariners' pitching depth in their farm system is limited. Ryan Sloan is a valuable arm that could be regretted if lost in a few years. Brandyn Garcia is another promising asset who could contribute to the team this year as a second left-handed pitcher out of the bullpen and potentially join the rotation in a year or two. This trade carries significant risk but also substantial upside.

Ultimately, I would attempt to negotiate and attach a hitter, even if ranked higher than Sloan, to the deal. If the Diamondbacks refuse to budge and insist on this offer, I would then consider taking the risk and executing the trade.

This is the kind of trade that could potentially bring a championship to Seattle for the first time.

Imagine a hypothetical nine-man lineup featuring Suarez at third base, J.P. Crawford at shortstop, Jorge Polanco at second base, Luke Raley at first base, Josh Naylor as the designated hitter, Randy Arozarena in left field, Julio Rodriguez in center field, Dom Canzone in right field, and Cal Raleigh at catcher.

This lineup boasts nine hitters capable of elite performance on any given day, making it an extremely challenging lineup to pitch against in a short playoff series.

Hopefully, Dipoto will take a calculated risk on these two players, even if it means a slight overpay.

This season, Seattle Mariners' three-time All-Star Julio Rodriguez was not having the offensive year he had envisioned. Following intense criticism from his own fan base, Rodriguez withdrew from the All-Star Game, and teammate Randy Arozarena took his place.

Coincidentally, Rodriguez has regained his form in the last two games against the Detroit Tigers, going 4-9 with 5 runs scored, 2 walks, 4 RBIs, 2 home runs, and a stolen base. It appears that the pressure has been alleviated, allowing Rodriguez to focus solely on playing baseball.

As previously noted, Rodriguez has exhibited significant road and home splits. Recently, he has displayed renewed power, with an extra-base hit in five of his last six games. Rodriguez is reminding fans of his exceptional talent.

In a recent interview, bench coach Manny Acta stated that the team's performance is closely tied to Rodriguez's individual success. The Mariners' offense has indeed erupted when Rodriguez has played to his capabilities.

It is likely that Rodriguez will have a strong second half, having taken the All-Star break to recharge and heal. The Mariners' outfield trio of Arozarena, Rodriguez, and the resurgent Dom Canzone is among the best in baseball. As a keen observer of Rodriguez, it is refreshing to see him dominate once again.

The team's offense was impressive, with All-Star Julio Rodriguez hitting a home run and recording 3 hits, All-Star Randy Arozarena contributing 3 hits including a home run, Luke Raley hitting a crucial three-run home run, Ben Williamson achieving a 3-hit game with two RBI’s, J.P. Crawford driving in 4, and Dom Canzone accumulating 4 hits. The Mariners aim to complete the sweep tomorrow.
