The Seattle Mariners are starting to show themselves as a team that will be very busy leading up to the trade deadline of July 30.
According to a recent report from The Athletic’s Will Sammon, Patrick Mooney, and Ken Rosenthal, the Mariners want to try to improve their offensive in a “aggressive” manner over the course of the upcoming month. The group also says they don’t think money will be a problem, which implies they would be open to adding a significant player.
The Mariners are eight games clear of the Houston Astros in second place in the AL West going into play on Friday. They have accomplished this pretty quietly, with a record of 44-33. They rank 22nd in the league in runs scored, but they definitely seem to be headed for the playoffs. Their pitching has carried them along, but they may require an additional bat to be taken seriously as title candidates.
The Mariners have already been connected to what may be the biggest bat available at the moment. Over the coming weeks, that situation may be worth keeping an eye on, as Seattle does have the minor league potential to make a big impact.
