Mariners listening to trade offers for George Kirby
mlb.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Mariners are considering trading pitcher Logan Gilbert as the trade deadline approaches, reflecting a shift in the team's outlook amid a disappointing season.
- Despite increased interest from other teams, sources suggest it would be surprising if Gilbert is ultimately traded before Monday's deadline.
- A key indicator of Gilbert's availability will be whether he starts Sunday's game against the Twins, the Mariners' final game before the trade deadline.
- The Mariners' recent struggles, including a 2-5 road trip and a loss that dropped them to five games below .500, have contributed to a more unstable team environment and openness to trades.
- While the Mariners have primarily discussed trading pitchers Luis Castillo and Emerson Hancock, the inclusion of Gilbert in trade talks marks a notable development.
