Seattle Mariners may consider trading pitching surplus for offensive help

Summary

Following the hiring of manager Jason Kanzler, the Seattle Mariners are reportedly exploring options to strengthen their offense. Analyst Buster Olney indicates that the Mariners could trade from their surplus of solid starting pitchers, such as Logan Gilbert and Bryan Woo, to acquire a bat. The team struggled offensively in the 2026 season, ranking 28th in runs per game. Mariners are expected to assess trade possibilities, particularly with teams needing starting pitching, but significant discussions are unlikely until after negotiations on a new CBA conclude.
