While speaking on Seattle Sports 710 on Tuesday morning, ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan took a hilarious jab at the Seattle Mariners while discussing possible trade deadline plans.
Speaking about the possibility of the M's acquiring Chicago White Sox' outfielder Luis Robert Jr., Passan had this to say, courtesy of Maura Dooley of Seattle Sports:"When healthy, he's one of the best CF's in MLB. He's a guy who in his only full season last year, hit almost 40 HR's and played good defensive CF. Yeah, he has warts. He doesn't walk. He strikes out too much. Sounds like a Mariner.""When healthy, he's one of the best CF's in MLB.
As for the idea of acquiring Robert Jr., it's something that fans and pundits will continue to wrestle with up until the trade deadline. The M's certainly need offensive help, but they have to balance financial cost, prospect cost, positional ability and other factors when deciding whether or not to make a deal for Robert Jr. - or anyone else.
Robert Jr. certainly did his part to stoke the flames among the fan base, hitting a towering home run off Logan Gilbert on Monday night.in the bottom of the ninth inning to win it. The Mariners enter play on Tuesday at 38-30 overall and they lead the American League West by 5.5 games.Continue to follow our Inside the Mariners coverage on social media by liking us on
