Radical Moderate
The Mariners appear likely to try to acquire a righty-hitting outfielder, and CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman has the latest on trade possibilities they might pursue. Heyman notes that the Mariners have scouted Marlon Byrd, as ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick reported yesterday (on Twitter). Byrd has a four-team no-trade clause that includes the Mariners, although he told CSN Philly’s Jim Salisbury that the no-trade to the Mariners and Royals “really are things that were just put on at the time being.” The 36-year-old Byrd is hitting .263/.315/.484 for Philadelphia this season, with 18 homers in 381 plate appearances.
What does everyone think of the idea of trading for Marlon Byrd? He has Seattle on his no trade clause, but when asked about it he kind of blew it off and implied if the Phillies were to trade him, he'd accept the trade for the good of the team.
He could be a good addition and due to his age, I'm not sure it would take too much to land him.
