The Seattle Mariners have reportedly been holding "exploratory talks with other clubs," according to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, primarily seeking an upgrade at third base.
That has led the team to hold talks with the Philadelphia Phillies for Alec Bohm, though "in initial trade talks between the two clubs, the Phillies asked for one of the Mariners' top pitchers—Logan Gilbert or George Kirby—in exchange for Bohm, a source with knowledge of the discussions said."
Jude added that the Mariners have "balked at the asking price."
