The Seattle Mariners are exploring potential trades for starting pitchers George Kirby, Emerson Hancock, and Luis Castillo, according to Jeff Passan. Kirby, who is under team control through 2028, has drawn interest from other teams, while Castillo is viewed as a possible salary dump. Seattle currently sits three games back in both the American League West and Wild Card standings, with a slight playoff chance remaining. The Mariners lost their latest game against the Minnesota Twins, and the front office may be assessing options as the trade deadline approaches.
