Mariners acquire Jorge Polanco from the Twins!!!!!

Sorry to see G2 hit the road, but I think he was going to fall down prospect lists at higher levels. I'm not sure there's much difference between him and Spencer Packard, for instance, other than age. And trading Topa makes sense, though it creates a hole in the bullpen. But Topa's a 32 year old arb eligible late bloomer and you're getting back an everyday player. And the other guys don't matter. This opens a spot on the 40 as well, which makes me wonder if there's another move coming. Maybe trade for a reliever?

Yeah I like it. Like that he is a SH so no platoon nonsense with him.

Gabby killed it in Modesto but really struggled in Everett. .216/.677

This trade will raise our projection to 90 wins....

Divish says they're also sending $6+ million to the Twins

They have a bunch of new reliever prospects don't they?

Not really. They signed a bunch of scrap heap guys hoping to find one decent one. They could use a high leverage RP with Topa gone.

They got their infielder trade. So who's left battling for spots for position players on the 26 man? Seby gets one, then 4 out of:

Rojas
Urias
Canzone
Moore
Trammell
Marlowe
Haggerty

Rojas and Urias are locks. Trammell has no options left. I suspect someone gets traded for a reliever.
