Rumors: Mariners LHP Marco Gonzales being brought up in trade talks

The tweet that restarted Mariners Twitter came from Jon Heyman late last night. He reported that Marco Gonzales has been the subject of trade talks, but there is no indication these talks are anything more than just general questions about availability.

Teams that still seek a starter: Twins, Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Phillies, possibly Brewers, Braves. Starters whose names are heard on market: Price, Ray, Boyd, Clevinger, Happ, speculatively Archer, Matz/Stroman, M. Gonzales, Quintana. Should be a wild scramble.

The vagueness of this tweet should be a major red flag. Heyman is just speculating that Gonzales may be available and if there is one thing we know about Heyman, it’s that he has no idea what the Mariners’ actual plan is and is far too lazy to figure it out.
