Mariners given coin-flip odds to trade 3.26 ERA starting pitcher

  • On Saturday, multiple teams engaged the Seattle Mariners regarding a potential trade for right-hander George Kirby, with the club appearing open to moving the 28-year-old before the MLB Trade Deadline on Monday.
  • The Mariners are shifting their trade stance as the club free-falls in the American League West standings, having lost 14 of 16 games with a 53-58 record.
  • Beyond Kirby, the front office has listened to offers for veteran Luis Castillo and breakout right-hander Emerson Hancock, with Castillo signed through 2028 at $21.6 million and Hancock under team control through 2031.
  • A deal is not considered imminent as of Saturday, though industry sources note other club executives "get the sense that is available" as the Mariners explore options.
  • With a 40.9% chance of making the playoffs per Fangraphs, the Mariners face a critical juncture; the organization must reshape the roster despite holding only a 4.3% chance of winning the World Series.
