Unless you are in deep denial with the truth, the Mariners must add impact starting pitching to try to end their playoff drought. In recent days, reports have surfaced that the Astros have had discussions with other teams about right-handed pitcher Collin McHugh.
According to Ken Rosenthal, of The Athletic, the Astros are listening, but are in no rush to trade 30-year-old McHugh. With the Mariners desperate need for pitching, could an arranged marriage of McHugh and the Mariners make sense?
For simplicity, lets stipulate that the Astros are willing to trade McHugh in division.
