A price that's too high might still be worth paying if Seattle wants to return to October.
This year's trade deadline is a little lopsided in terms of available talent. On the starting pitching side, you have quite a few options from solid rotation leaders (Merrill Kelly, Mitch Keller) to works in progress (Zac Gallen, Sandy Alcantara). On the position player side, the pickings are a little slimmer but one man has dominated the news cycle over the past few weeks and according to Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, is this year's most valuable trade target.
