Mariners Fans Should Brace Themselves for “Disappointing Deadline”

Let’s get this out of the way right now: yes, I believe the Mariners are going to make at least 1 more trade. In fact, I would say there are 2 trades between now and 1 PM on July 31st. However, I don’t think a major name is coming to Seattle.

This shouldn’t come as a shock to most. Seattle doesn’t have the assets to acquire these type of players. The trade market has been surprisingly heavy for sellers. The Mariners simply lack the middle ground type of prospects to add guys like Asdrubal Cabrera and Mike Moustakas.
