The Mariners are 34-48 on the season which have them in last place in the A.L. West, 14 games behind the Rangers. The Mariners are very disappointed in how there year has went so look for them to start trading some players away this month. Cliff Lee will be the biggest chip the Mariners have to deal. He will likely bring back three solid prospects. Jose Lopez, Jack Wilson, Casey Kotchman and David Aardsma will likely all also be available for trade this month. If the Mariners want to get really bold they could trade Jason Vargas who would also bring back some nice prospects. The Mariners just need to make sure that they don’t make any trades unless they get players they really like back. They can’t afford to settle for what teams are willing to give them.
