@Kristinartz Say goodbye to my Sister.
She would annoy them so much they would give her back in 3 or 4 days anyway.
I'd use some of the money to get her a nice place after.

Latest on Mariners' piggyback plan:
Dan Wilson and Pete Woodworth met with Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller today, and club president Jerry Dipoto followed up separately with both pitchers to offer clarity on the situation.

@MarinerMuse There is a nearly 0% chance that Luis Castillo's agent has not already called Jerry dipoto about getting off this team

Brad Adam asked Bryce if he’s getting more comfortable with the piggyback
Bryce’s answer was, essentially, “uhhhh, no”, followed by some polite good teammate talk

@Thegroz Save this video for the next dummy that says you can never have too much starting pitching. If you've got nowhere to put them, six is too much starting pitching.

Another look at Luis Castillo after learning that his night was done. Can’t recall ever seeing this kind of frustration in his nearly four years with the Mariners. "We knew that was part of the plan, and you've got to respect what his decision was."

@TridentTrue Piggy back him with Logan, and tell him if he can get through 4 under 65 pitches he can get the 5th.

What if we just Piggybacked every starter with Luis Castillo and switched every turn through?
Maximum hurt feelings across the board to even it out

@MarinersONTap It's a moronic disaster that could easily have 2 agents asking for trades

What are your honest thoughts about the Mariners piggyback situation after two attempts?

@lakeview487 Mariners are not trading Miller for Prospects, no matter how good
English
@MojoMariner If anyone tells you "You can never have too much..." They don't know what they are talking about. You can absolutely have too much, particularly if you lack a plan for how to deal with it.
English
If I had to guess, Id say the Mariners will go to a 6 man rotation again sooner rather than later. Its unfair to both Luis and Bryce to piss them off every 5th day. Sure, a 6 man rotation means each guy will lose a few starts but at some point, someone is bound to get hurt or not be able to go
Mariner Mojo@MojoMariner
Bryce Miller takes the mound in the 5th. Luis pitched his ass off tonight and deserves better than this whole piggyback idea

@MarinerMenace Just pointing out that the attempt to bubble wrap them is not only bad baseball, but doesn't work

Noticing that a lot of people who said Dan was being too careful with Luis Castillo’s feelings are now suddenly very concerned about Luis Castillo’s feelings.

It is wildly predatory even if the contract is deemed to be enforceable
The MLB Player’s Association should push hard to ban this - there are better answers.
Or at the very least make Big League Advance pariahs amongst prospects

Fernando Tatis Jr. has lost his lawsuit against Big League Advance. Tatis was paid $2 million as a minor leaguer in exchange for 10% of his future earnings. This was not a loan. If Tatis didn't make it to the big leagues, he didn't have to repay the $2 million. But Tatis did make it to the big leagues and later signed a 14-year, $340 million contract. That meant Tatis owed Big League Advance $34 million. Tatis had publicly praised Big League Advance, saying the $2 million allowed him to hire a personal trainer, upgrade his apartment, and eat better food. But after realizing he owed $34 million in exchange for $2 million, Tatis sued the company, alleging that they used predatory tactics to lure him into an investment deal that was really an illegal loan. The judge disagreed. The agreement was upheld this week and Tatis was even ordered to pay Big League Advance’s legal fees. This is a big deal because Big League Advance has signed deals with 700+ athletes, including Elly De La Cruz (MLB) and Nolan Smith (NFL), across MLB, NFL, and college sports (think: NIL). And now that the courts have ordered Fernando Tatis Jr. to follow through on the agreement, other potential legal challenges will likely go the same way.

@CorbinSmithNFL 6 feet, 185, 2 career picks as a Corner.
It's his physicality that makes him special, and they no doubt have concerns that a guy his size can keep doing it .

Unlike fellow 2023 first rounder Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Devon Witherspoon has yet to receive his big payday from the #Seahawks with the two sides reportedly far apart.
But the fact he hasn't signed an extension in late May shouldn't be a cause to sound the alarm: ow.ly/ZxZu50Z3zkZ
