Seattle Mariners Trade Deadline Q&A
Who on the Mariners current 40-man roster/IL will be on another team on August 4?
Chris
There are many plausible options that could be )leaving the team. It all depends on the package to get a player they want. Even Kirby, Marte, Matt Brash, and Jarred Kelenic could get traded in the right deal. Might veterans like Frazier, Mitch Haniger, Jesse Winker, or Carlos Santana go? It’s really hard to peg just one guy or any guy for sure.
Chip
Borucki and/or Milone. Dipoto picked up both these lefties off the scrap heap. They’ve pitched well since arriving in Seattle, but they are over- exceeding their recent norms, and a reality check is coming. One or both will be Designated for Assignment by then.

Matt Brash is the most likely chip to be moved at the deadline. He has enough value to be a good piece in a deal without feeling like the Seattle Mariners gave up one of their best prospects. I’d say Haniger, but I’m not sure at this point Seattle would get anything more valuable than what he might provide down the stretch.

Wow, that’s a tough one. I’m going to go with Dylan Moore. Sam Haggerty is doing now what the Mariners expected from Moore the last two seasons. Haggerty has been nothing short of electric since coming back from Tacoma. He’s the spark plug off the bench this team needs. Plus, Haggerty is a switch hitter. Goodbye, Mr. Moore.
