Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, joins the show for his “Cold Stove” M’s offseason chatter with Jason “Puck” Puckett. Divish is once again substitute teaching at his former high school in Havre, Montana.  

They open up discussing why catcher Cal Raleigh should have won the Silver Slugger Award over Salvador Perez.   The conversation then turns to their offseason look at the third base position. 

Currently the only internal option to play third base is Josh Rojas.  Ryan thinks they’ll bring Rojas back but he won’t primarily be the third baseman and that they will have to find another option there, most likely via a trade.  Ryan believes you could have a situation where Rojas and Dylan Moore will platoon at second base. 

Ryan also gets into the teams desire to bring Justin Turner back and their preference to trade Luis Castillo in the offseason. And, Divish contemplated the idea that Puck brought up about trading for Phillis third baseman Alec Bohm. Would that be a good fit for the M’s?
