I argued recently the Mariners can and should investigate the Kyle Seager trade market, as the veteran’s resurgence coincides with a return to parity around MLB, and thus a greater number of interested buyers. I don’t believe the Mariners need to trade Seager, and if their goal remains to contend in 2021 and for all the foreseeable seasons thereafter, they have even less urgency.
But there are moves that could help the Mariners in the short and long term that involve the M’s putting Seager in the middle of another contender’s lineup, and I’ve explored a few options I think hew towards reality and interest.
