Mariners Make Another Trade

On Tuesday  the Seattle  Mariners  made 
another trade. Not as significant  as  the
one made on Monday  however it could 
back a difference  on the roster or another
trade that could happen as well.

The Mariners  acquired  infielder/outfielder 
Samad Taylor from the Kansas City Royals 
for a player named later or cash considerations. 
This may mean the Mariners  could trade Dylan 
Moore or adding more depth. Also the Mariners are
expected sign veteran Nick Solak to a minor
league deal and invited to trying camp.

The trade in which the Mariners  acquired 
Jorge Polanco  from  the Twins  opens doors
to the roster for competition.  The Mariners 
have 12 position spots  pretty  much set now.
So several players will fight for the remaining 
spot on the opening day roster. Right now 
Dylan  Moore  is the most likely  candidate 
unless the Mariners  decide to trade him
freeing up more money. A trade likely would
bring in another pitcher. There has been rumors 
on that front. 

In other local sports  news. Ben Johnson the
offensive  coordinator of the Detroit Lions 
has decided to  stay where he is at. This means
defensive coordinator  Michael Macdonald 
could  be  the Seahawks  next head coach.

The Washington Commanders were sure that
Johnson  would be their next head coach. It
will be interesting to  see  where the Commanders 
to get their next head coach. Does that mean
the Seahawks  have to act quickly or not. We
will see what happens. What we do know the
Seahawks  will have new coordinators as they
both have new jobs. Not a big surprise since 
whoever is the next Seahawks  head coach
would bring in his own guy. Will the Seahawks 
name the new head coach before the weekend 
or wait until the Super Bowl is over. Stay tuned.
