Oof that would have been a real nice get for us at that price. Would have allowed us to kick the can down the road another year. 

 

MLB in the first two rounds is pretty much guaranteed now. No FAs left.

Yep, Campbell has got to be high on Beane's radar.

This morning?  He was an aging player who still had a lot in the tank, and would have been great for the Bills.

 

Now?  Old man. So glad he's going to another team.  We need to get younger.

 

 

True for half the board.  For the other half…..this morning he was not worth the $ but now he’s a missed opportunity

Thought he'd be a good fit for us.  $7M. Wonder if he gave Seattle a home team discount.

 

Seattle front office likely said 'We will let other teams determine value.  Go get wined and dined with free hotel & air fare other teams and then we will make counter offer."

Loser. Anyone who has a chance to play for a super bowl and goes back to a non-contending team isn't anyone we want on this team anyhow

 

I'm gonna cut him some slack for going back to his old team.  Doesn't hurt that Washington state lacks an income tax, either.

Eh, I recall Joe Marino (host of LockedOn Bill) being in on Wagner and then watching some tape on him and being less than impressed…not saying Wagner is old or washed up, but he doesn’t have much left. Considering he went unsigned for this long and signed for that amount, I think a lot of GM’s saw the same thing from the tape.

That was our last option to find a capable MLB in free agency. At this point Edmunds' replacement is almost certainly coming in the draft, likely with a day one or two pick.

Agreed.  It will not surprise me at all to hear Jack Campbell in the first for us.

I gotta think Beane looked into him. I really just think he wanted to end his career back in Seattle.

I remember Beane say post Tremaine signing with Bears that maybe his replacement is already on the roster. Don’t kill the messenger, that was said. 

I can't think they would be content with what we have.

 

That's not speaking very highly of Edmunds if they seriously think the guys behind him are ready to step into that roll.  I will be surprised if we don't take a LB early now.

That’s how it’s supposed to work. Someone on the roster steps up into an opportunity. That’s what good teams do. That being said we will definitely be taking a LB in our first 3 picks in the draft.

To say that this forum thought more of Edmunds than anyone in the organization actually did, would be an understatement. 

I'm the first to say I don't think Edmunds was great, but when he wasn't out there, he was missed badly last season.

Generally agree with that sentiment but in his case he already won a Super Bowl and has history in Seattle.  I respect it

Yeah but athletes probably pay "business and occupation " taxes. And they are liable for income taxes in states they play in. The states get their funds from you, some how.

Washington has NO STATE INCOME TAX!

 

That lack of urgency the front office is taking towards MLB is concerning.

 

Lavonte David: Tampa (No State Income Tax)

 

Bobby Wagner: Seattle (No State Income Tax)

 

Get ready for Dodson and Bernard to platoon at the Mike😂

 

Players care about their $$$$$, especially older players in their twilight years. The idea players want to play with Josh Allen is kinda funny and though it maybe somewhat real, so are the taxes of NY State. 

 

I know it's early and we still have the draft but this is concerning.

Honestly we have no idea what might be in the works. If we’re still depending on Dodson and Bernard in a month, THEN hit the panic button.
