If you want to know what Seattle is going to do, watch the division, especially the Astros who are getting healthy and only 4 games back. As the trade deadline approaches, Seattle will get nervous and make moves to solidify their position in the standings as will other teams. They have buying power with their plethora of good to excellent pitching. Pitching, as usual is king in this league as everyone knows. Someone is going to want to overpay for one of their starters and / relievers. They have trade power with the depth on the current roster and what’s in their farm system.
They aren’t trading Kade but they could dump some salary by trading one of their starters and make a move for additional hitting. They are middle to bottom half of league in batting average, OPS, and runs scored. They could move one of their other minor league pitchers up and hold Kade until after the trade deadline to not burn his rookie season. He would have to pitch less than 50 innings so a relief pitcher (long relieve maybe) is a possibility.
Anyway, lots to think about with an organization with excellent pitching. That’s the main reason they are leading the division (I believe they are 3rd in all of MLB in pitching.

Well, baseball is complex with so many rules, statistics and of course $$$$$$ to drive decisions. It isn’t a “now league” until it is in nut crunching time at the trade deadline and 40 man roster expansion.

Good explanation. Thanks!

And I thought Aaron Nola had a good start....that young man is incredible, but what is more impressive....his style is very sustainable.

No such thing as 40 man roster expansion, there is an active roster expansion at the MLB level that begins September 1, 2026 that runs through the end of the regular season when the active roster goes from 26 to 28 players (all of which are on the 40 man roster).

True. I was thinking pulled up to the 40 man was after 9/1 but that’s not the case as you pointed out. I was also thinking about the Rule 5 draft for other potential players in there system and conflated the scenarios on what may they could do to protect those players with trade value for hitting, which they need.
It’s a nice position to have all that starting pitching in their system.

lol all of their starters are homegrown and on their rookie deals, except Castillo. You just make stuff up as usual

Castillo
That’s even better value if you’re trying to getting power. They need relief pitching. They are going after that and power hitting. They will trade and want something for those trades if they dump someone like Gilbert. Castillo is not a healthy dump BUT they would want to dump him.
They need hitting. I hope they fail at everything. I hope all their arms suffer UCLs on September 2. The salary floor proposal would impact their spend so who knows. MLBPA is going to lock out if something better isn’t proposed.
