Astros, Mariners could match up on trade for hitter
In the Astros’ search for some offensive punch, they could find a trade partner in a division rival.
The Seattle Mariners are wheeling and dealing, with GM Jerry Dipoto seemingly trading everything that’s not nailed down. Meanwhile, the Astros are looking to add a bat to their lineup. The division rival Mariners could be a logical trade partner here.
Seattle sent Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to Queens, bringing back Jay Bruce. They also sent Jean Segura to Philadelphia, taking on Carlos Santana‘s contract in return. Then they quickly flipped Santana to Cleveland for Edwin Encarnacion.
