Dave will not let these ghosts of Detroit haunt him. He's loading up the pen.

Elias seems like a nice addition to this deal.
Seems like a nice candidate for the swing man role and from the left side.
Competition for Ross and Layne lefties hit .227 against him.

Jon Heyman @jonheymancbs 33s34 seconds ago Miley and aro to mariners for carson smith and roenis Elias agreed to Initial reaction: not great (I wouldn't have done it), but not terrible. Elias should have options left, and he's decent SP depth. |

I'm trying to figure out Roenis Elias. He has been a not so special starter. Will they make him a loogy? Or maybe the next Miley?

Great trade, at least IF it has to be a reliever.

Oh my god seriously? I didn't want to trade Miley but that's an awesome return.

Hold up, do we have a good bullpen now? Tazawa in the 6th, koji in the 7th, smith in the 8th and kimbrel in the 9th?

Any cash moving here? Players coming from Seattle are both pre arbitration.

I'm ashamed to say I have no idea who Carson Smith is. Will take my cue from the reactions here...

Elias should have options left, and he's decent SP depth. The amount of control you get with Smith is great. He was a 2.3 WAR reliever and he has 5 years of control remaining. Elias has 5 years of control left too and is a loogy who's stuff could play up in the pen. 12.08 K/9 and 2.84 BB/9 vs LHP. He could be a great lefty specialist which is also a need. I love this trade. |

Elias has options remaining. That bullpen just got a gigantic kick in the arm. Kimbrel, Koji, Smith and Tazawa is VERY GOOD.

I really don't understand how much people are overvaluing relief pitchers. Twitter is blowing up as if they ripped the M's off and everyone is laughing and giddy. Meanwhile, we just traded a very dependable starting pitcher who didn't cost much for another relief pitcher and their 5th 9th starter at best or a 2nd LOOGY at worst.

I really like Smith:
- almost 12 K/9
- less than 3 BB/9
- 65%(!) GB%
- 5 years of control

To me Miley is a J.A.G . But I don't know the guys we got I trust the people on here who are pumped about deal. I was hoping to move him.

Yeah, this doesn't look bad at first blush; Aro is nothing.
Elias isn't much, but Carson Smith is a stud: 25% K-BB, 1.01 WHIP, looks real

Moving the cash is significant.
Now if they can move clay quickly I expect a surprise fa signing in that 20 mil app range.
It's not enough for Cueto but maybe even a trade for a 2
