This surprises me. The impression I had was that the Mariners were underwhelmed by what Teo did in 2023, that Teo himself felt Seattle wasn’t the right place for him to thrive, and that very few people hoped Teo would take the QO. I see it tye way you did — glad the M’s gave him a go, and glad to see him go elsewhere (his defense was truly that had). I thought the fanbase was pretty well united in its belief that if the M’s were going to commit to cutting down on strikeouts, sending Teo along was a top priority. Very few people on Twitter, as far as I could tell, wanted to bring him back — Teo being at the top of that list. (During the All-Star break, Teo made some measured but critical comments about his lack of comfort with the batter’s eye at T-Mobile.)

He wouldn't have taken the QO so we'd have gained a draft spot. What did we spend that $20 million on...Garver Mitch Polanco. Straight up bad decisions
