The Seattle Mariners still haven't responded to the loss of Jorge Polanco by bringing in an alternative bat. That's fine, given that it has only been a couple of days, but you do wonder if part of the hold-up is that potential trading partners are trying to force them to give into desperation.
Though we don't know if this is the case, we do know courtesy of Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that the Mariners "remain in the mix" for Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
