Keith Law: Seattle Mariners did 'tremendous job' with rebuild
- Keith Law says the Mariners followed a proven blueprint, building largely with homegrown talent or via trades of drafted players.
- Law compares Seattle’s approach to the Dodgers, noting both rely on drafting, developing, and trading to stay competitive.
- Law cites Brewers as a contrasting small-market example that trades players before free agency to restock with prospects.
- Law highlights Mariners VP of amateur scouting Scott Hunter’s role in building a stronger draft foundation.
- Law notes the Mariners’ five straight winning seasons and their playoff drought-breaking progress as proof of the blueprint’s success.
- The discussion frames the rebuild as setting up longer-term contention for the Mariners.
- Law comments on the Mariners’ ability to sustain frequent contention without overrelying on top free agents.
- Law references the Dodgers as an example of a team that succeeds with similar methods but more financial means.
- The conversation was featured on Brock and Salk and referenced The Athletic for Law’s remarks.
