The Seattle Mariners took part in a three team trade late Wednesday night as they finally did something at the Winter meetings. In the first trade by new Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik, he sent J.J. Putz, Sean Green, and Jeremy Reed to the Mets and also sent Luis Valbuena to the Indians. In return, the Mariners will be getting Franklin Gutierrez from the Indians, and right-handed pitchers Aaron Heilman and Maikel Cleto, left-handed-hitting first baseman Mike Carp, left-handed pitcher Jason Vargas and outfielders Endy Chavez and Ezequiel Carrera from the Mets.
Heilman, Carp, Chavez and Gutierrez could prove immediate help for the Mariners.
I like this trade for the M’s as they stock pile some young talent and also get Heilman who can be a decent starter for the team. The key to this trade for getting Gutierrez from the Indians as he is a speedy center fielder and a hell of a player.
What do you think of the deal Mariners fans?
