The Seattle Mariners' farm system is thinner on Friday than it was on Thursday, as the club's blockbuster deal for Josh Naylor sent two well-regarded hurlers to Arizona. And in all likelihood, the system is only going to get more thinned out.
The buzz around the industry is that the Mariners aren't done, as still in their sights is Diamondbacks slugger (and old friend) Eugenio Suárez. President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto could also go after an ace reliever and perhaps even an ace starter.
It's a good thing, then, that Seattle's farm system remains loaded with talented prospects to dangle as trade bait.
