Mariners Still Reportedly Expected to Be Among Most Aggressive Teams at Trade Deadline
Despite a recent slide that has seen them fall out of first place in the American League West, the Seattle Mariners are reportedly still expected to be among the most aggressive teams at the looming trade deadline.
That report comes from Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Sunday.
The Mariners, a team that scares everyone with that starting rotation, can’t go into August without acquiring at least one premium bat, whether it’s Jazz Chisholm, Luis Robert Jr., Isaac Paredes or Alonso. This is a team that has struck out more times than anyone in baseball (1,013 at the All-Star break), ranking last with a .219 batting average and 28thin runs scored (3.87), slugging percentage (.367) and OPS (.667).
Those numbers were from before the Friday and Saturday losses to the Houston Astros, so they’ve largely gone down as well, further underscoring the needs for improvements.
Nightengale has consistently linked the M’s to Chisholm Jr., saying that rival executives expect him to land in Seattle. The problem though is how few players are actually available. With so many teams in the hunt, there aren’t many defined sellers. And the teams that do sell undoubtedly can ask a massive price, which may be hard to stomach.
The Mariners have the prospects and resources to make almost anything happen, but the question remains if they’ll find a suitable dance partner. Robert Jr. and Chisholm Jr. are likely the most impactful bats that are available – with the potential of Brett Rooker of the A’s being possible as well.
The Mariners are currently 52-48 and 1.0 game back in the American League West.

From miners, lumberjacks and seamen to the world arriving on our shores this summer, Folio Seattle will host a program Monday night, with two local soccer scribes detailing the region’s collective footy history in “Seattle’s Road to the 2026 World Cup.”
Matt Pentz, a former soccer reporter for The Seattle Times and The Athletic, is teaming with historian Frank MacDonald, executive director for Washington State Legends of Soccer and occasional Sounder at Heart contributor. The program goes from 6-8 PM at the Folio location in Pike Place Market. Donations of any amount are accepted.
Pentz and MacDonald will dive into the state’s century-plus adoration of the game and highlight what’s changed in the last generation, since Seattle failed to land matches for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.
Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
