The Mariners have acquired some really nice pieces coming out of their busy past month, compiling a solid balance of enticing prospects, controllable MLB talent, and high-upside veterans to sell on in the future. In fact, the final part in that may be the most important of all, given where the M’s currently sit with their roster.
For now, it appears that Mitch Haniger, Mallex Smith, Omar Narváez, and Marco Gonzales aren’t going anywhere. That would indicate that Jerry Dipoto and co. have finally run out of ammunition to continue retooling their ballclub; yet, that’s not the case whatsoever.
