We exchanged our individual plans yesterday for our tier 2s and above. Now, we’re going to get to work on creating the master plan, which we’ll present to you guys here on this show in a couple of weeks. But if you want to hear the early discussions of all that, head on over to the Patreon, check it out. All right. So today, uh, we’re bringing back a little something we call Top Five Tuesday, which is, uh, something we started last off season. Maybe you remember it. Uh, but if you don’t, or maybe you’re new to the channel, uh, basically every or at least most Tuesdays this off season, we’re going to do a top five list covering a variety of Mariners topics. Uh, so each week we spin two wheels. the Helm, which consists of, for lack of a better term, real or serious mirrors topics, and the Ed Helms, which consists of, you guessed it, not so serious mirrors and baseball topics. Uh, one of us gets helm duty while the other gets Ed Helms duty, and we switch off week to week. This week, Colby is tackling the helm. Now, we spun the wheels offcreen yesterday, uh, but we’ll spin the the wheel on screen typically at the end of Mailbag Monday episodes, uh, from here on out. Uh, Colobby got top five offseason storylines for the Mariners, and I got top five Mariners hats of all time. So, there you go. Uh, now Colobby, I I think last year, uh, I did the top five offseason storylines, so this, uh, kind of works out that this time around you’re going to do them. So, uh, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s get into them. What’s number five? Yeah. So, number five, um, by the way, guys, some of these are going to run into each other just in terms of, you know, they’re very similar. Whatever. It is what it is. Uh, but number five on my list, I have, uh, extensions. Will the Mariners extend any of their core players this winter? They did it with Cal Raleigh, you know, in at spring training, so not exactly in the offseason, but this is a team that typically doesn’t approach, you know, extensions in the wintertime. They they typically try to get those done in season, at least that’s been their pattern, but the Mariners are coming up on a period where there’s going to be some potential transitions away from guys who are in their core. Obviously, the most notable ones, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby. Um, there’s legitimate questions now as to whether or not the Mariners are going to trade one of them in the next calendar year or so. They’re legitimate conversations uh that, you know, we’re going to have on the show as well. Do the Mariners extend one of them and take them off the table. I think they would prefer to extend Logan Gilbert. Obviously, Logan didn’t have an incredible year. Uh, he also has a new elbow thing that is going to, you know, maybe muddy the waters a little bit here. Uh, but Kirby is also a guy that in theory you would want to extend. Uh, I don’t know if the Mariners are super, you know, excited about that. Uh, just because he has he’s three years left. Uh, Logan has two years left. So, you have more time to get a Kirby extension done. Uh, but Logan is is the obvious one. But there’s also, you know, do you want to try and extend uh Miller or Woo before they start to get really expensive in arbitration? Do you want to extend Matt Brash? try to extend him before he starts to get really expensive in arbitration. There’s also guys who are going to be free agents after this next after this next year. Randy Rosena and JP Crawford are two guys who might make some sense to have, you know, extension talks with. I’m not saying it does or it doesn’t, but maybe they might want to have those conversations now. So, it does feel like there are several high-profile extension candidates, and the idea that they could get multiple of these extensions done in season during 2026 right before a lockout happens seems daunting. So, do they want to try and, you know, skip the line on a couple of these guys? Do they want to try and get something done right away? And so I I think, you know, whether or not the Mariners extend uh one of their players who right now is a part of their core is an interesting uh thing to track this winter. And also, just to throw this out there, I’m not saying it’s likely, uh but is there a Colt Emerson extension out there, a Colt who’s going to have an opportunity to make the opening day roster? And if he signs this extension, does that help his odds of making the opening day roster? Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, it does. We need to be real about that. And and again, it’s he doesn’t have to work on his defense in TripleA for the first month of the season. Mariners get what they believe will be an incredible bargain that. And is it kind of a a you know crappy thing to do? Yes. Does every Major League Baseball team try to do it? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I think Cole Emerson, maybe Cole Young, uh, as well, but I think, you know, more than likely right now, the Mariners are going to be focused on these players that are in their core, but they’re hurdling towards free agency. And the Mariners have to make a decision on these guys. Are they part of this thing going forward, or are these guys we’re going to trade and and kind of like re, you know, reallocate the resources that we get in the trade to go towards our next core group of players? And uh I think that’s something to watch. And there again, there’s no shortage of uh opportunities for the Mariners or options for them to look at when it comes to extending these guys. Yeah. The real interesting thing about this offseason in general, like free agency, specifically with the the lockout looming next year, is like what kind of contracts do these guys want to sign? And so going into the extension talk, it’s like on one hand, I could definitely see players feeling like they need to sign now because of just the uncertainty of what things are going to look like post lockout. I could also see them feeling like it’s most beneficial to them to wait things out and see what, you know, the baseball world looks like after the lockout. So um yeah, uh I I I wonder where most players land on that topic right now. And you know, maybe that helps the Mariners out here potentially. Yeah. Yeah. Number four is a pretty simple one. Josh Naylor, Jorge Palanco, Au Heno Suarez. Who stays? Who goes? Who do the Mariners feel like they should pay? Who do the Mariners feel like they can replace? And you know, those are the three guys I obviously, you know, Ferguson and and Garver and there are other free agents uh that the Mariners could bring back. Those are the big three. And it does feel like at most you’re bringing two of those guys back, but more realistically when you just kind of look at how much of your budget bringing two of those guys back would cost, you probably need to move on from two. It’s it’s just a very tight window you have to try and fit. If you’re going to bring back two of those guys, we know the Mariners want to bring back Josh Naylor. Josh Naylor is also going to have the biggest market of any of those three guys. So, uh it’s it’s certainly not a guarantee. Uh but yeah, which one of those three, how many of those three? Uh what do the numbers look like? And what does this what does bringing back this player or these players, you know, exclude the Mariners from in terms of talks with with trades and other free agents and how much money they have to spend going forward. So those three big free agents, three vital players who all had huge moments in the playoffs and all had huge moments down the stretch to help you get to the playoffs. uh which of the three or which two of the three, it’s certainly not going to be all three are they bringing back and how does that impact the rest of their offseason? Yeah, I mean like obviously Naylor is the priority. I guess I’m I I would like to not find this out, but I am curious to see like what their their pivot plan is if they miss out on Naylor or it just gets to a point where they feel we just can’t go down that road with them. Yes, Mariners famously have incredible pivot plans. So, yeah. Yeah, let’s not let’s not find out. Yeah, thankfully they were able to kind of uh accidentally land into the Jorge Palanco resurgence year after missing out on Carlos Santana. Sure. It was not good process, but the results were great. So, yeah. Yeah. I man I really don’t want to think about like what this year could have looked like had they actually signed Carlos Santana and actually traded Luis Castillo deal by the way which were both very very possible last winter. Yeah. Yikes. All right. We’ll get into your top three biggest storylines heading into the offseason for the Mariners in just a moment. But first a reminder, this episode of the Lockdown Mars podcast is brought to you by Game Time.

Colobby is giving you the top five biggest storylines heading into the offseason for the M. Now we’re in the top three. What’s number three, Colobby? Yeah, number three is does the offseason trade market rebound? Last year it was notoriously slow. We had a couple big trades that happened, but really not a lot of teams were selling pieces. It was basically crochet and not a whole lot else was out there. Kyle Tucker ended up getting moved. So, there were some big splashes, but kind of the the mid-range trade of like two three- win players for prospects just didn’t really happen at all. And we know the Mariners were involved in a lot of talks. We know that there was a three-team deal out there that the Mariners almost pulled off. We know that there was a lot of talk with the Boston Red Sox about particular players that just didn’t, you know, the dominoes didn’t fall correctly there. So, they had talked to Cleveland about Josh Naylor, right? So, we know that the Mariners had talks, but there were no deals to be made. And and you know, the Mariners kind of blamed the unforeseen slowness of the trade market on their terrible offseason. And if we’re going to assume that’s true, and based on the just lack of volume of trades that we normally see in the offseason, it appears it was uh is does that rebound this year? Because look, we all want the Mariners to just spend money to get better and keep prospects and, you know, have this fantasy of all these guys hitting at the same time. It’s not reality. The Mariners have to make trades. They have to. It’s in their DNA. They are a draft, develop, and trade team. They’ve said it millions of times. Well, if you can’t trade during one of the two trade acquisition periods that happen in the calendar year, you could be screwed. And so will the trade market rebound this year? Are the Mariners going to be more aggressive on the trade market? They think they were aggressive last year and they didn’t land anybody. So how aggressive were they really? Uh now we know that they got pretty aggressive on a on a uh yonderon trade uh that uh almost went through and and all that. And we know that obviously they added rentals at the deadline. But uh you know, do the Mariners are the Mariners willing to trade multiple top 100 prospects to land three- win players who greatly impact their odds of winning the 2026 World Series, which should be the goal. And just in general, does the trade market open up? Are there more teams who are willing to admit like, look, could we maybe fake this thing and and be around 500 in July and sell a few more tickets? Yes. Is that actually what’s going to happen? Is that what’s best for us? No. We’ll see. there. It it kind of felt like there were more teams that were willing to admit that at the deadline this year. It’s kind of like the the league getting back to normal where teams are like we could fake that we’re pretend that we’re contenders but we’re not. We know it. Is that going to happen this winter? I don’t know. But, uh, there certainly are some teams and some players, some good players who should be made available and that the Mariners should go out and try to get even if it costs them a couple of really good prospects because that’s the game they’re in. But if the market doesn’t get to that point and there’s just not that, you know, run of two, three- win players getting dealt for prospects like there have been in the last 50 off seasons as opposed to what happened last year, the Mariners could be in real trouble unless there is significant money being poured into this uh to the front office. Yeah, I don’t know if um this is part of either your number two or number one storylines, but I’m really curious to see how maybe the the lack of young major league ready starting pitching impacts them in trade talks again because obviously that was pretty evidently u an obstacle uh in the Don uh negotiations. they just didn’t have a MC Able to offer uh the Twins uh in that trade. Um you know, Logan Evans isn’t that guy. Like Kate Anderson is still at best half a season away. Sa same thing. Ryan Sloan’s probably a full season away. So that’s not really what we’re talking about here. Again, like we’re talking about like the Mick Ables who are ready to enter rotation right now and have and have more upside than, you know, the Logan Evans and and the Emerson Hancocks of the world. So, how much is that going to impact them? How much is that going to get in the way of them trying to pull off some of these trades that they want to pull off? Yeah. All right. So, number two. Yeah. Um, number two and number one are pretty much connected. Uh, number two is will ownership step up? Uh, and number one is how much do they actually care about winning a championship? Because we talked about this, the Mariners cannot just bring back the same group minus Gino Suarez and expect to be as good as they were at the end of this year. That’s just not how this thing works. Uh, the Mariners right now, if they had to play a game tomorrow with all their free agents out of there, their first baseman would be Luke. Their second baseman would be Cole Young. Their third baseman would be either Ben Williamson or Colt Emerson. That is not acceptable, by the way. It’s not acceptable if Josh Naylor is the first baseman and you’re still running with two relative unknowns at second and third base without making any major additions to the outfield or DH or or, you know, to add more bats. But the Mariners are in a position, the front office is where it’s like, “Yeah, we ownership gave you quote unquote $30 million to spend this winter, but they know that most of that is going to Josh Naylor, who well, having Josh Naylor for a full season certainly will make you better than, you know, having him for a third of the season. What you also have to understand is that you get him for a full season. Naylor was a two- win player here in a in, you know, a third of a season. Do you really think Josh Naylor is a six- win player when he’s only he’s only been a three- win player once in his entire career? So, it’s not like you can just extrapolate that and be like, “Oh, well, Naylor here for a full year. We’re going to win four or five more games just based on that alone.” No. No. That’s not how that works. Also, by the way, other teams in the American League are going to get better. Other teams in the American League are going to get healthier. The Houston Astros are not going away. And I think people underestimate just how close the Mariners came to not making the playoffs at all. Like if that three-game series in Houston didn’t go the way it did, we’re not talking we we would have had this conversation, the offseason storyline conversation three weeks ago because the Mariners would have missed the playoffs. Like it re they needed five games to beat a mediocre Detroit Tigers team, right? So it’s not like this team was just unstoppable. They won 17 of 18 against really largely trash opponents. Good on them. They did it. It was awesome. And it does show what the ceiling of that roster was. It was huge. It was massive. They could have won the World Series. Absolutely could have. But they also could have missed the playoffs. The floor was way low. And when you bring in, you know, when you have limited money and you kind of have to pick and choose where you’re going to be weak, you have to end up relying on young players. So if ownership really wants to win the World Series, if ownership really wants to step up, they will give Jerry and Justin enough funds so that they can go out and bring in impact talent from outside the organization without having to trade away the talent that they have in the organization. What I mean by that is you don’t have to trade Luis Castillo if you don’t want to, guys, because we’ll cut the check for $15 million so you can go get a real third baseman instead of hoping Ben Williamson learned how to hit over the winter. Right? So that is the storyline to check here. It is will ownership step up and how committed to this are they actually because it’s one thing to just like oh yeah no I mean we we’ll give you the 30 million to get back to where we were payroll-wise. Do you have 30 million more dollars? The answer is yes. They absolutely have that money. We know they have that money. Are they willing to give it to Jerry? We’re going to find out. And if they are, then it’ll be the first time in their existence as Mariner ownership that they stepped up and that they forked out the money necessary to win a World Series and it’ll show that they’re dead serious about this and they want to bring a world title to Seattle. That’s what they care about. But right now, it’s all just lip service. It’s all just, you know, hey, like we want to thank you because you made us so much money. Are we going to reinvest it back in the ball club? Not really. I mean, we’re gonna give enough so it looks like we’re doing it, but in reality, no, not really. Yeah, that is what this offseason is about. It’s what every offseason is about. I hate that it every offseason is about this, but it has to be. It has until they are not the biggest roadblock standing in the way of the Mariners, they are. Yeah. And so that is number one and two because it is that important. ownership are the is the number two one and two story line and how how the front office works within whatever constraints ownership gives them is also right there. Jerry said after the season was over, you know, when he did his media appearance the other day that the trade deadline is a big part of their roster uh construction philosophy. The problem with that though is you can’t rely on the trade deadline. one, you don’t know if you’re going to be good enough to justify buying at the deadline. You don’t know if like all things are going to go right enough for you to be in that position, but also you don’t know who’s going to be buying. You don’t know who’s going to be selling. You don’t know who’s going to be specifically available on those teams that do decide to sell. You don’t know what the state of the market is going to be. You don’t know if if the players that are available line up as well with your needs as it did this last time around. like they were very lucky that Josh Taylor Naylor and Au Heno Suarez as the two biggest bats available just so happened to play at positions that they had great needs at but there is no guarantee that happens again. So you have to put the work in this off season. You cannot just rely on this idea that yeah we’re going to we’re going to be fine. We’re going to be competitive enough to get to July and at that point we’re going to work our magic. Yeah. And you’re listening to the Lockdown Merrors podcast. So, the Helm portion of Top Five Tuesday is over. Now, it’s time to get into the Ed Helms portion of Top Five Tuesday. So, this week I’m going to be tackling this portion. Uh, next week I’ll be doing the the Helm side of things and Colobby will be doing this. Uh, I spun the wheel last night and got top five Mariners hats of all time. None of the crazy color variations that you could find on various websites like Simply Seattle and all that. Uh, none of like the 47 hats and and anything like that. Just official hats that the Mars have worn on the field. Now, that does include like batting practice hats, but spoiler alert, none of those are on this list. Uh, these are all just game used hats. So, uh, number five, let’s start with the hat that that Col’s wearing, the Sunday hats. I love these. I I more so love the uniforms and the hat, uh, themselves, but I really like the idea of taking the modern Mariners logo and then incorporating the classic colors with it. I think it’s super dope. It’s a really nice hat. Uh, number four, uh, the Navy with the Northwest Green Bill specifically. It’s just classic classic Mars look. I love that they’re now wearing them with the the Navy uh, away jerseys. That’s just like the primary road hat now. Super dope. I’m glad that they started doing that this year. Uh, just a really really nice hat. Uh, number three. This is another situation where I’m more a fan of the the uniforms than the hat itself, but uh the steel heads hat. I mean, it’s just a black hat with a blocky white S, but it’s still it’s classic. It’s nice. It’s clean. Yeah, I like it. I wish it was more easily available to people. And I would love if the Mars, you know, actually wore the whole kit again. They had a great opportunity to do that this year, but alas, which been three years since they wore it. two years since the whole Fanatics thing. Yeah. But like again, Fanatics are a great thing. But also like they went back to the normal jerseys this year. Like it felt like, okay, we can do it now, right? Did they even wear the hats this year? I think so. Yeah, I don’t think they did. They had a giveaway for the hats, but I don’t think they wore them. Yeah, at least last year they wore the the hats with the the regular Mirror’s uniform, which looked weird, but I mean, at least they they did something. But whatever. Uh, number two, the City Connect hat. I love this hat. It’s great. This is the only Trident hat that that makes this list for me. Um, I love the black bill. Um, I love the uh the boldness of the blue and and the gold of the Trident. It’s really really sick. Sure. It’s my favorite part of the uh the whole uh kit. It’s the only black uh that needs to be on the uh City Connect, by the way. White pants. White pants. Yeah. Yeah, you’re a big proponent of the white pants for the city connects Batman’s utility belt on every single player. What are we doing? Are we going to get new city connects in 2026? I don’t know. Like every team’s kind of cycling through new ones. I don’t know. Like I I you know you know something I you know something I noticed and maybe it’s maybe it’s completely unrelated but I saw in the background when they were doing like an interview in in the clubhouse one day I saw in the background their their name plates are different and it says Seattle Baseball Club and the Pike Place like font. I don’t know if maybe that’s like a a tease for what’s to come or if that’s just something that they just they’ve done with the name plates. But I’m really worried that like the new City Connects are going to be like, “Oh, look, they have raindrop like looks like they you’re walking through the rain cuz Seattle rains a lot, isn’t?” And it’s like I I hope they know better. I mean, I literally said this to Kevin Martinez when we had him on the show. I was like I was so glad that you guys didn’t do coffee or rain or pike place, but we’ll see. I kind of feel like they’re going to do Pike Place for the next one. I just it’s like could you have somebody like from the city of Seattle design the Seattle City Connect so it’s not just like Yeah. Hey, what are what are like the big landmarks that we know about Seattle as some you know Nike uh you know it’s going to be Nirvana with coffee plaid. Yeah. It’s just going to be some like Yeah. I I really am worried that they’re like hiring some outside con consulting firm to you mock these up for him. And it’s like can you at least get like like by the way the correct way to do this is what the Seattle Kraken have done with all their different uniforms is to hire artists from Seattle who represent the group that you’re trying to represent and have them design the logo and the pattern and the color scheme for you. The Kraken uniforms are incredible. all of them like their like their warm-up uniforms that they come out in sometimes and all the like the specialty uniforms they they wear for like you know the awareness nights and all that like they’re all incredible and they’re all designed by people from the area who are representative of the group that the that the Kraken are trying to represent you know when they go out there. So like the Kraken have the correct model on this for these alternate uniforms. Hopefully uh you know it’d be great if the Mariners followed suit, but we’ll see. Uh city Oh, this is just a roundabout way of saying there’s a way to pay homage to the city, to the culture without being too on the nose about it. All right, so uh coming in at number one, this should come as no surprise if if you know me, it’s the uh the late 80s, early 90s, the rookie Griffy hat. Yeah. Yeah. the the the gold S on the blue hat. It’s just so classic. I mean, I have um here the the hat that I wore yesterday. It’s the same S. It’s a different version of the hat. Obviously, this is blue, but it’s, you know, it’s that S on the blue. Uh it’s gold outline. Yeah. Just It’s dope. It’s so dope. Like like if the Mariners were to have new uniforms for 2026, I would want them to just be a modern version of that. Yeah, the grays and the white too of the late 80s, early 90s is just it’s peak. It’s peak. It’s the best you can do. Um, and that remember when they wore them in Houston like back in 2019? It pops so well. Yeah, they look so good. Unfortunately, pictures of like Malik Smith in them. It’s like, hey, how about we put Julio in? We do. We do have JP in them. It is. And it is JP’s best photo, but like let’s put Julio in these bad boys. Let’s put cow in these bad boys. Kevin, buddy, we’re your consultants right here. Hit us up. But, uh, yeah. No, that that’s my favorite as well. Um, just so classic, so clean. I I like, you know, I don’t like busy designs. And most baseball hats are pretty basic, you know, like there’s not a lot of Yeah. I like the the the diamond backs that one hat that they had where it was like red on top. That’s like the busiest I’ve ever seen like an actual official Major League Baseball hat. Yeah. I mean like the old like Seattle Pilots hat that used to have like the the gold leafs on the bill or whatever. It’s like okay that’s that’s fine. No, it’s too busy for me. That’s fine. What What do you think about like the the white panel hats like the Blue Jays are wearing this postseason? The Orioles. The Bears have one for for batting practice. Yeah, they just that’s to me they just look like batting practice hats and I’m just like it feels like that’s a different thing. Like I don’t hate them, but like no, just just wear your your dark blue hats. Like Yeah. Yeah. I I didn’t really I don’t think it I don’t think it works well uh with the uniforms. And again, it just feels like that’s a pregame hat, which fine, whatever. It’s really not a big deal, but like that feels like a hat that we should wear, not the professionals playing in the game. Sure. Sure. Yeah. It was weird when um I think it was Bryce decided like, “Hey, let’s wear the batting practice hats one game and then they lost and then they never did it again.” Uh just No, it it looked it looked weird. It’s weird when they wear like their regular uniforms and you become accustomed to like only one hat being worn with those uniforms. Yeah. And then they like it just kind of looks like a travel ball team and it’s like fine, whatever. But I I would love to see them wear the the Northwest Green Bill with the white uniforms though like they used to do back in like the early 2000s. That was sick. That should just be the standard hat. Yeah. Yeah. As much as I like this, but like the the Northwest Green Bill is just better. It’s just better. Yeah. Especially for like on the field. Like this is kind of better to just wear casually because there’s less like potential like conflicting colors with like an out like putting an outfit together or whatever. But like on the field like it’s sick. All right. Well, that’s going to do it for our show. Thank you so much for joining us here on the Lockers podcast. For Kobe Patode, I’m Ted Gazales.

Thanks for your good coverage throughout the season.
That's what Mrs. Weiner said.
I know it’s a crappy thing to do to try and sign the player yet to debut but there is significant risk a la Kelenic.
Colby was on point about the uniforms. The Kraken were smart to have jerseys by ETC and Paradice Ave Souf. Real local artists who are tapped in to the culture. There's also designers from Seattle who are worldwide. One of the top designers from Supreme / Marc Jacobs / Louis V is from Franklin HS in south seattle and has made award winning soccer jerseys in Europe and would love to help the Mariners. Sorry for blabbing to myself 😂
Navy with NW green bill will always be #1 for me. Love it. City connect is probably #2.
Steelheads uni is clean too, They had African American heritage night, but no game on Juneteenth which I think is when they have worn it in the past. but I have to say I also miss the navy with silver bill too.
Naylor must sign. Polo I could take or leave, would be cool to keep him and see how they maneuver usage at DH with him and Ford/Cal but would create some interesting options if we let him walk too. Now Geno I just don't see any reason other than good feels to resign him. Defense is declining and he cannot hit in Seattle. Had a .400 OPS in Seattle post trade. I just don't think he fits roster needs with money constraints.
Colby is hitting what exactly?
Who are some potential targets for RF Colby? Outside of signing Tucker or Bellinger don't see who you could add potentially. Definitely in on the Nico Hoerner idea. Definite must get along with re-signing Naylor. All these prospects & no where to put them.
Hear me out. Resign Naylor, trade Castillo and Randy to shed some salary, win the bidding war for Murakami, and have Naylor and Murakami split time at 1st and DH. Naylor obviously mostly at 1st. Could even have Murakami play at 3rd or bring up Emerson. To replace Randy we could try and trade for Brent Rooker who has team control until 2029
