Brady FarkasHOST
If you are somebody who just walked off the field two years ago, then I am not going to hire you, right? Craig Stammen, who got the job in San Diego with the Padres, would not have gotten the job for me with the Seattle Mariners.
Brady FarkasHOST
If you are someone who has been working in the front office, like Raul Ibanez, who I'm sure is brilliant, you are not going to get this job from me.
Brady FarkasHOST
That...
Brady FarkasHOST
It is that simple.
Brady FarkasHOST
If you have never been on a professional staff, then I am not going to hire you.
Brady FarkasHOST
So Raul Ibanez, as amazing as you are, you are not going to get this job as far as I am concerned.
Brady FarkasHOST
And if you are someone who just immediately stopped playing or stopped playing and took a little bit of time off, like Craig Stammen or Torey Hunter, I believe, fits that bill, you're not getting my job either.
Brady FarkasHOST
Number three, and maybe most importantly.
Brady FarkasHOST
One fun, one, one more serious.
Brady FarkasHOST
Chris Negron, Joey Cora, Raul Ibanez, Chris Woodward, they all have degrees of Mariners association in their history.
Jordan ShustermanGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Brady FarkasHOST
Mm-hmm.... out on the idea of hiring anybody with former Mariners ties? Because some people are like, "No former Mariners at all." Negron was there recently.
Jordan ShustermanGUEST
That's a great question, because yeah, I mean, it would all be completely different depending on...
Jordan ShustermanGUEST
Like, the case for and against Negron is this is a guy who hasn't done it before, but also is much younger, was part of some successful Mariners teams, like, and, and has been considered, clearly has moved up in the coaching world anyway.
Jordan ShustermanGUEST
But [laughs] that's a completely different conversation than Raul Ibanez, right?
Brady FarkasHOST
Right.
Jack FitzpatrickHOST
Yeah, and it's just like, yeah, keep, keep giving him the rock.
AlanHOST
We get Raul Ibanez in the playoffs.
Jack FitzpatrickHOST
Get Raul Ibanez.
AlanHOST
De- de- Freeze, like we talked about-
Jack FitzpatrickHOST
Yeah
Jon MorosiGUEST
And to hear Jerry DiPoto talk about the value of experience, I understand it.
Jon MorosiGUEST
We talked a lot last time around about Raul Ibanez.
Jon MorosiGUEST
I do think that he deserves a look.
Jon MorosiGUEST
Whether or not they will ultimately go with someone who's already done the job at the Major League level, I certainly understand that.
Jeff PassanGUEST
I think they matter, but I also think when you're handing somebody a job of this magnitude, there's going to be a bit of deference, unless you hire a icon in franchise history who doesn't necessarily need to be deferring a whole lot.
Mike SalkHOST
Oh, you didn't mention Raul.
Mike SalkHOST
Uh, Morosi said Raul Ibanez, and, uh, we, I think kind of said nah, just a little too, hitting a little too close to home.
Jeff PassanGUEST
Of course.
Mike SalkHOST
All right, Jeff, we gotta let you go.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Let's get back to the mailbag and answer your Mariners questions.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Mark wants to know pros and cons for Raul Ibanez as our next manager.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
So this is interesting.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
I'm glad you asked about this 'cause I've seen a lot of fans, 'cause John Morosi has mentioned Raul Ibanez on the radio I think a couple times now, uh, over on 710.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
And I've seen a lot of people, you know, say, "Well, he's a former Mariner.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
You can't do that." You know, kind of lumping him into the same category as, as Dan Wilson, right?
Colby PatnodeHOST
And like if they-
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Yeah
JaegeHOST
I know the boys over at Marine Layer are very high on Kai Correa.
JaegeHOST
There are potential other options of, of folks that could be fits that have ties to the Mariners organization as well, whether that be Christopher Negron, whether that be Carson Vitale, whether that be potentially Raul Ibanez.
JaegeHOST
But realistically for myself, I would prefer to see some experience, someone who's been there, someone who can lead.
JaegeHOST
Because as I said earlier in this podcast, it felt very clear that a level of leadership just was not there, that the self-governance concept that the Mariners had employed over the past five years had finally run its course, and that the only leadership that was available was when things were going good.
Ryan Rowland-SmithGUEST
By the way, Adrian Beltre would go over at 6 a.m. multiple times in spring training and go talk to the young Latin players in A-ball and all the minor leagues and say, you have to learn English, right? I say that, but...
Ryan Rowland-SmithGUEST
Talking about Raul Ibanez, I remember Raul and Adrian was kind of the, when you had the, obviously guys from different countries and everything, they were kind of that center ground, man.
Ryan Rowland-SmithGUEST
Everyone loved him.
Ryan Rowland-SmithGUEST
Awesome dude.
Peter RosenbergHOST
When I went to see...
Peter RosenbergHOST
The last time I went to an Orioles-Yankee playoff game, you know what happened? Raul Ibanez.
Alan HahnHOST
Oh, okay.
Peter RosenbergHOST
Yeah, he's got...

Let that fire! [rock music]
Mike SalkHOST
So you're not into the idea of bringing in Raul Ibanez?
Brock HuardHOST
Nah.
Mike SalkHOST
Huh.
Mike SalkHOST
Figured you'd be all over that.
Brock HuardHOST
Nah.
Mike SalkHOST
Morosi wants Raul Ibanez.
Brock HuardHOST
Maybe, uh, maybe this guy 15 years ago, when I started in radio.
