I doubt they would give up Urias for Britton?

Wouldn't mind trading Kyle Seager. He is having an off year by his standards. But he can get hot and finish with a .270ish avg. Also has a gold glove caliber glove at 3B. And he has been very consistent. Shoe in for .260-.280, 25 HR, 80+ RBI every season. All though he will need to get hot to reach those numbers this year, he did have 30 HR and 99 RBI last season. Also his contract is pretty fair for his production and he is signed through 2020 I believe. I don't know what the Cards would be willing to offer in the way of prospects though. However, I doubt the Mariners would even entertain trading him at this point, due to what DiPoto has said pertaining to trying to go for it, and dealing him would be like waiving the white flag. The off-season is a different story though.

No matter how good a reliever is, I would be against trading top level prospects for one, unless someone is expendable or blocked. Urias has ace potential and if they did that, it could be one of those instances where they look back 5 years down the road and say "The **** were we thinking?"

According to what Moz said recently I don't know what they are going to do. They are torn between trying to improve roster for playoff hopes and riding out this season and keep their prospects for the future, and even trade our own short term assets (Lance Lynn)

Personally I would prefer keeping our prospects, trade a few short term players, and build for next year.

I hope not. I am very content with what we are rolling out now, and don't want the farm to go away even more...

I'm really high on Vierra but you're must not know about Nick Neidart, Brayan Hernandez, Max Povse, Chris Torres, etc.
