If a trade for a top-end reliever is there for the right price, the Mariners should take full advantage. I would never say no to Kirby Yates, Kyle Barraclough, etc. donning the navy and teal in 2018.
But the Mariners have a plethora of relief talent spread throughout their farm system. Some of whom you’ve seen us ship elsewhere in our Trade-a-Day articles. If they’d be so valuable to other teams, why can’t they be valuable to the Mariners this season?
Relief prospects are such strange commodities. They seemingly grow on trees for most organizations, while others struggle to find even one.
