The Seattle Mariners made few moves at the Major League Baseball trade deadline, which was described as “fairly uneventful” by general manager Jerry Dipoto.
The Mariners were one of the teams that were expected to be active at the deadline, but they ended up making only a few minor moves. The team acquired right-handed reliever Connor Sadzeck from the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations. They also traded outfielder Cameron Maybin to the New York Yankees for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
The Mariners had been linked to several players in the weeks leading up to the deadline, including starting pitchers Zack Wheeler and Marcus Stroman. However, the team ultimately decided to stand pat and not make any major moves.
The team is currently in the midst of a rebuild and is looking to the future. Dipoto said that the team is focused on building a strong foundation for the future and that they are not looking to make any short-term moves that could potentially hurt them in the long run.
The Mariners have been one of the worst teams in baseball this season and are currently in last place in the American League West. They have struggled offensively and have been unable to put together consistent winning streaks.
Despite their struggles, the Mariners still have some promising young players on their roster, including outfielder Kyle Lewis and pitcher Justus Sheffield. The team is hoping that these players can help them turn things around in the future.
Overall, the Mariners made few moves at the MLB trade deadline and are now focused on building for the future. It remains to be seen if these moves will pay off in the long run, but for now, the team is looking ahead and hoping for a brighter future.
