pitching prospect to Kade Anderson
had been struggling starting the
season however in his last start
he might have turned the corner.
This is his his first season at double A.
Last start he went six innings and threw
a perfect game. No walks or hits. In
fact he stuck out 11 batters as well
Let's see how he builds from here.
Ryan is 20 years old, second round pick
by the Mariners in 2024. He waited that
long to be drafted since most teams
figured he go to college first. The
Mariners gambled and he signed
with them.
Right now the Mariners have a six
man rotation. Kade Anderson may
come upin September if not sooner.
Ryan maybe called up next season
or in 2028.
The Mariners have a solid six man rotation
plus you add Anderson and Sloan that
makes eight. It means the rotation could
reduce by three in the next two years.
Anderson's value besides being a very
good pitcher of the right he is the only
lefty. When he joins the Mariners he will
likely start in the third slot between four
right-handers.
The Mariners may trade two starters
which will be difficult to choose among
them. Luis Castillo is the only one in
his thirties and his contract goes through
2028. He is a good choice to trade though
be difficult since he has a no trade clause.
Logan Gilbert and George Kirby are the
closest to free agency. If the Mariners
want to trade one or the other it could
be in a trade. Gilbert and Cal Raleigh
have been buddies since they were
drafted in the same year so it could
be difficult to trade him.
Bryan Woo, Bryce Miller and
Emerson Hancock are the next
three coming along. Woo would
be the one likely to stay. Hancock
who pitched in relief last September
could go back to the pen. Miller
might be a choice there to and
would be difficult to decide who
would go.
Hancock is having a breakout
season and we could say the best
starter this season.
Whatever the case the Mariners
will get an offensive player to fit
into their lineup. This could be
third base or the outfield. At this
point right field. Arozarena who
is having a very good season will
be a free agent after the season
of the Mariners don't resign him
or he is traded.
This is all interesting while the M's
are playing good ball now..
