The #Mariners did this to themselves.
If you're not going to *really* spend, and the targets you want are on teams who don't want prospects, who do you think they are going to ask for?
This is how you wind up with an off-season of Turner/Santana and Hyeseong Kim.

Per Adam Jude, the Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies have had discussions about Alec Bohm.
The Phillies asked for Logan Gilbert or George Kirby in exchange.
Amongst MLB starters (2024):
Kirby: 11th in fWAR
Logan: 12th in fWAR
Ridiculous ask🥱

Either way, ridiculous asking price for Alec Bohm🤣
But also - there is zero reason for them to ask for less! It's not like they don't control him for cheap!
The thought process of trading them works if Rōki or Crochet could be your backfill, but not for him.
