6 Players the Seattle Mariners Should Trade Before Deadline
After winning three consecutive games in thrilling fashion against the Oakland A's, the Seattle Mariners (54-46) have thrust themselves into playoff contention after 100 games and now have a big decision to make -- one that they probably weren't expecting at the beginning of the season -- as Major League Baseball's trade deadline looms (July 30).
The Mariners, owners of the longest playoff drought in all of major sports (19 years), may be tempted to make some trades for immediate help to get them over the hump. I suggest that they don't and stick with their rebuilding plan with long-term success in mind.
