The most annoying trade proposal that won’t go away, Pittsburgh Pirates OF Bryan Reynolds to the Mariners, got another kick to the text thread the other day when Jon Morosi went on Seattle Sports to suggest the Seattle Mariners actually benefited from the Toronto Blue Jays sending a hefty trade package to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for CF/C Daulton Varsho. By Morosi’s logic, that takes Toronto out of potential landing spots for Reynolds, which therefore increases the Mariners’ chance at getting the outfielder. But removing one possible suitor doesn’t increase the Mariners’ chances if it doesn’t lower the acquisition price.
Please stop trying to make Bryan Reynolds a Mariner
