Today is not my day to write, so it’s the perfect chance to write about a potential move that doesn’t really require a full post, but I want to talk about anyway. When Teoscar Hernandez got traded, the obvious consequences were that they needed another outfielder. Thus, why I focused on Cardinals outfielders going to the Jays in return for the much needed catcher.
But that move has other consequences beyond that: the Mariners have too many outfielders. They have former top 5 prospect Jarred Kelenic, Rookie of the Year winner Julio Rodriguez, Hernandez, Taylor Trammel, Cooper Hummel, and Jesse Winker.
