You can easily judge the immediate trade feeling based on fan reaction in Twitter responses. Pretty much every response is mariner fans saying WTF, why are we so stupid etc.

Unless they turn around and flip Toro in a package (with Trammel or Julio Rodriguez maybe?) for Turner and Hand or Bryant and Kimbrel... this feels like trade rape.

It feels like trade rape anyway for the Astros, but maybe Seattle has a plan.

What the frick are the Mariners doing?

How do you go from trying to nab Trae Turner to dealing your "ace" closer to a division rival?


Yeah I’m elated, but I don’t understand. Why would they be sellers? They’re not that far out of the wild card. Hell they’re not even a crazy number out of first.

With some form of Javier/Graveman/Pressly to finish, I’m assuming Kimbrel is out of play now.

Will be another reliever, but not that expensive

Why not both? Add Kimbrel and you’re about set

@Mariners
Welcome to Seattle, Abraham Toro and Joe Smith!

We didn't totally clear out Joe Smith's salary. Rafael Montero makes $2.25 million this year. I assume we're picking that up. The Mariners had DFA'd him, Click says he'll throw a bullpen and may be active tomorrow...I don't know why. He's really bad

This feels like a trade that probably puts us out on Kimbrel and firmly plants RP as closer with Graveman to lock down the 8th. Would hope for another move to shore things up. Daniel Hudson? Ian Kennedy?

Rafael Montero just fell off a cliff this season. No command. So odd.

He could very well be going out the door again by Friday as another small salary dump. Look at Click being all NBA-y.
