Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

But, again, more injuries happening for Detroit right now.

So it's not the Tigers.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

They're probably, on the contrary, the speculation about Skubal and Mize and others that could be traded is actually louder than ever in Detroit.

Blair & Barker

But I do believe it is the Mariners because you look at the circumstances of their division –

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

I think in some ways the Mariners and Jays are living in parallel.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

They, of course, they met in the ALCS a year ago, but the biggest difference is that the Jays are in the same division as the Rays and the Yankees and the Mariners are not.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

The Mariners are in an eminently winnable American League West.

Blair & Barker

The Astros are not nearly the team they used to be, no hitter aside.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

The A's, while impressive with the lineup, are still a little bit shaky on the pitching side of things.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

And so whatever intramural issues the Mariners are having about who's starting, who's relieving,

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

I tend to think at some point this situation, if everybody's still healthy, will be resolved with a trade.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

You, of course, know a team very well, and I'm not going to speculate on the Mariners and Jays getting together on a trade, but just look at the Jays, for example.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

How much they would, if they had a Luis Castillo, he'd be starting this weekend.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

More than likely if he was on the team.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

So there are a lot of teams that need exactly what Castillo could give them if they could find a way to make the money work for a new team and take on that contract.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

So I do think it's the Mariners offensively slow starts.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

But remember, Raleigh is missed.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

And again, the other similarity between the Mariners and the Jays is

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

Both have major catchers who have missed significant time.

Blair & Barker
Salary Cap Consequences with Jim Duquette and Jon Morosi

That's certainly one more thing to keep in mind.
