Before we begin, if you need a reminder of our parameters and rules, click here. Also, because I cannot stress this enough: THESE ARE MOCK TRADES. THE MARINERS DID NOT MAKE THESE DEALS. THESE ARE ALL PART OF A SIMULATION.
You have been warned. But the exercise is still worthwhile to read. They are fun, and often are so unique to what you’ll see in the off-season, it is fun to critique all that has gone down. Now, we currently have 5 trades already agreed to and a 6th that is close. We also bid on 3 free agents and are monitoring the market.
