What Mariners fans can learn from a trade they weren’t involved in
The biggest and most important trade chip remaining for the Mariners is outfielder Mitch Haniger. And while there hasn’t been a lot of news surrounding him, a recent trade may set the market going forward.
Late last night, the San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays made an interesting trade that was so easy to draw a comparison for a Mariners trade of Mitch Haniger, it was likely the first thought that came to people’s mind.
The deal sent Tommy Pham and Jake Cronenworth to San Diego for Hunter Renfroe and Xavier Edwards. Both Pham and Renfroe are right-handed outfield bats who are somehow right in the middle of what Haniger is.
