SEATTLE MARINERS UPDATE #2
SPRING TRAINING
so before I've even played one game I wanted to make some minor moves to shore up depth and some bench pieces
Trade #1
Indians Received:
SP Jordan Guerrero (C)
1B Tommy Joseph (B)
Mariners Received:
1B Edwin Encarnacion (B)
It was pretty a swap of DH pieces who are very similar in Encarnacion and Joseph. Joseph has 5 years of control with Encarnacion 2 years. Made this deal because I needed a little more pop in my lineup (and just like Encarnacion lol)
Trade #2
Red Sox Received:
CF Lolo Sanchez (B)
Mariners Received:
LF Jose Bautista (B)
RP Drew Storen (C)
CF Braden Bishop (C)
I wanted Jose Bautista because he plays multiple positions and brings pop for a cheap price. All 3 players Mariners received were buried on the Red Sox depth Chart and have potential to make impact for the Mariners.
Trade #3
Orioles Received:
SP Jamie Callahan (B)
Mariners Received:
1B Adrian Gonzalez (C)
Adrian Gonzalez is a possible bench piece or depth for the Mariners. On a one year contract it was a good deal for both sides as Callahan has good potential to a bad roster of mostly C and D potentials on the Orioles.
BIG TRADE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trade #4
Royals Recieved:
3B Mike Moustakas (B)
CF Luis Robert (A)
SS Javier Guerra (C)
Mariners Received:
3B Josh Donaldson
I had really good depth in CF with having Victor Robles ahead of Luis Robert. Guerra has high C potential in a weak SS position for the Royals. And Moustakas and Donaldson are both on 1 year contracts. I made this deal because Donaldson has great defense but also brings more pop, a little more contact and more speed to a very versatile lineup. After making this deal I have a very very good middle of the order.
