And is a highly rated defensive OF, but unfortunately we don't have room for him with all our Gold Glovers already on the team. Damn I hate when a prospect gets blocked.
The Mariners have traded Triple-A third baseman Carlos Rivero to the Red Sox for cash considerations, as Greg Johns of MLB.com tweets. Rivero joined Seattle when he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox in November of 2014. In December, the M’s re-signed him to a minor league deal. Rivero made his Major League debut last season, appearing in eight games with Boston. In part of five Triple-A seasons, Rivero has slashed .274/.324/.388.
I heard on 710 a few weeks before the trade deadline that the M's should go after Tuluwitzki. That didn't happen but I sure think he could have helped. M's are pitch heavy and the Blue Jays were desperate for pitching. I think they could have swung a three team deal to land him.
