The Seattle Mariners’ offense has continued to struggle, and the club appears to have abandoned all hope after losing a ten-game lead in the American League West in less than 30 games. The MLB trade deadline, on the other hand, provides some promise for the future. The Mariners have a week remaining to add to their roster, and there will be transactions. Whether they are popular or not, deals will take place, and the Chicago Cubs may be one of the teams involved.
The Cubs have had a dismal season thus far, and when games begin on July 23, they are at 49-53, just above last place in their division. They are 9 games behind their division and 3.5 games back of the wild card, with four teams to pass. According to reports, they will not make any moves to strengthen the team this year, which might lead to the Mariners acquiring some of their big league stars.
The Mariners have failed to get above-average production from their corner outfielders this season, which is where Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki could help. He has played right field throughout his young career and would fit in well with the M’s lineup. This season, he’s hitting.261/.332/.461 with 13 home runs in 76 games.
