Seattle Mariners Trade Rumors: Tracking Hot Updates, News and Reaction

Quite frankly, the biggest move that the Seattle Mariners could make between now and the July 31 trade deadline is to figure out a way to wake Robinson Cano's bat from its continued slumber.

A lack of production from Seattle's $240 million man is a major reason why the Mariners will start the second half of the regular season with a losing record (41-48), but somehow the club remains within striking distance of a playoff spot.

General manager Jack Zduriencik didn't wait for the deadline to arrive before making a move, acquiring slugger Mark Trumbo from the Arizona Diamondbacks in early June, but the team's biggest issues remain an inconsistent bullpen and a lack of people getting on base ahead of the likes of Cano, Trumbo and Nelson Cruz.
