Out of KC, none of the other players interest me as a Mariner fan. Moustakas would die a painful death in Seattle, especially with his K/BB problem. Gordon doesn't have enough pop for Safeco. Butler at least would get on base and hit doubles.
Actually...I frankly don't see any players anywhere that I would actually think would be huge upgrades over our current crop of potentials either offensively or defensively other than perhaps Butler, who would be available at a remotely payable price.
Frankly...I think the Mariners are in deep trouble. They can't buy players to get better because teams don't let good players slip and when they do, they're hotly sought commodities that don't want to come here to have their numbers die. They can't trade their way out of this, because teams are holding their young players aggressively and it's stupid to trade for old guys in our position. They have no choice at all but to hope that the talent they already have can mature into something useful.
