Do the Mariners match up with the Rockies in trade talks?

With the Hot Stove season approaching it’s time to look and see who the Mariners could potentially match up with in trade talks. One team the Mariners could match up well with is the Colorado Rockies.

On the surface, the Mariners and Rockies might not seem to be an obvious fit for a trade. Both teams are coming off of bad seasons (though it should be stated that the Rockies were actually trying to win this past season) and look to need retooling.

The Rockies though committed big dollars to Nolan Arenado last February and he wants to be a part of a winner, not a rebuild, so it would be in the Rockies best interest to look to boost the core around their star third baseman.

The issue in Colorado…
