Winter meetings takeaways: Kelenic deal, Glasnow's market, waiting on Ohtani
Major League Baseball's winter meetings are underway in Nashville. We'll break down the biggest moves and rumors each day and reflect on what it all means. Abbie Parr / Getty Images Sport / GettyBraves roll dice on Kelenic, Mariners plotting something? The Seattle Mariners have to be preparing for something big, right? The club opened the offseason by trading away Eugenio Su rez (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Jarred Kelenic (Atlanta Braves) in separate deals, allowing the franchise to cut considerable salary. The Mariners currently have $115 million committed to payroll next season, down $25 million from 2023. General manager Jerry Dipoto already said payroll is expected to go up in 2024, so there's room to work, and Dipoto is always looking for his next deal.Su rez, who is owed $11 million in 2024 with a $15-million club option for 2025, is coming off a down year in which he posted 22 homers and a .714 OPS while striking out a career-high 214 times. Kelenic, the No. 4 prospect in MLB in 2021, was packaged with Marco Gonzales (owed $12.25 million in 2024 with a $15-million team option in 2025) and Evan White (owed $15 million over the next two seasons before a trio of team options) to Atlanta in a deal Sunday. The Braves are reportedly already looking to flip Gonzales, and White hasn't played in the majors in two years. Atlanta essentially bought Kelenic from the Mariners by taking on those contracts.Seattle's lineup takes a hit with the departures, but Dipoto said the payroll savings will be allocated elsewhere. There's a lot of work to be done and there's serious pressure on the club to make some impact moves after missing the playoffs last season, and Dipoto's 54% comment. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r
