The Boston Red Sox do seemingly make good sense for the Seattle Mariners on the trade front this offseason.
At 73-72, the M's are 4.5 games back in the American League West and 4.0 games back in the wild card. While they still have a puncher's chance at the playoffs, they are likely to miss the postseason for the second consecutive year.
There's already been talk raised by Ryan Divish of the M's dealing Arozarena to save money. They could cut Josh Rojas and Luis Urias to do the same, and they could deal a pitcher like Luis Castillo or Gilbert to shave payroll as well. Jorge Polanco has a $12 million option that might be declined. Well, Jeff Passan of ESPN had a creative idea on Tuesday during his appearance on Seattle Sports 710 with Brock & Salk. He said that the Mariners and Boston Red Sox line up well in a trade scenario, with the M's dealing away a pitcher in order to acquire multiple cost-controlled pieces from a loaded Sox system.#Mariners
