💁🏼‍♀️ Are the Mariners part of the the legal battle between officials in the US, Colombia and Spain over who owns the rights to the treasure from the “holy grail of shipwrecks” ? Win the Powerball? Where they getting the money to pay Marte? 💰 Do they have money to spend this year? Would they have to move other players to fit Marte in their budget? ⚾️

💁🏼‍♀️ Marte “might” be ok for the ‘26 season at age 32 for $15m {salary may increase by up to $5.5M based on 2025 PA and MVP voting. $600k paid by Arizona Diamondbacks (pro-rated signing bonus)}, And again at age 33 for the ‘27 season at $12m {again his salary may increase by up to $5.5M based on 2025 PA and MVP voting. $600k paid by Arizona Diamondbacks (pro-rated signing bonus)}. But not age 34 at $20m (salary may increase by up to $5.5M based on 2027 PA and MVP voting) or age 35 at $22m (salary may increase by up to $5.5M based on 2028 PA and MVP voting) or age 36 at $22m (salary may increase by up to $5.5M based on 2029 PA and MVP voting) or age 37 at his $11.5M Player Option. So many willing to trade valuable resources away and spend money on an aging and declining player. I think the Mariners front office knows better. 🤔
