Mariners Podcast: Which Prospect is Seattle Most Likely to Trade at Deadline?

We recently heard that the Seattle Mariners were likely to trade a top prospect at the trade deadline this summer, but who is that most likely to be? We caught up with @MarinerMuse on the first edition of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast.

Recently, we heard from MLB Insider Bob Nightengale that the Seattle Mariners are likely to trade a top prospect at the looming trade deadline. And that certainly makes sense, doesn't it? After all, the Mariners have a 2.0 game lead in the American League West and are trying to get to the World Series for the first time in franchise history.

When you have that pressure upon you, it makes sense to put some chips into the center of the table. Furthermore, the Mariners have prospect depth, with eight players currently ranked in the Top 100 players by Baseball America. They have the prospect capital to get things done.

With that said, which Mariners prospect is likely to be dealt? Harry Ford was just moved to left field at Double-A Arkansas, perhaps as a way to showcase his versatility for other teams...

We discussed this very same topic as part of Episode 1 of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast, which comes out each Tuesday and Friday. You can LISTEN to the episode below as we got the answer to that question from popular Mariners "X" user @MarinerMuse.

In addition, we also talked about the problems with the team's offensive philosophy, the future of Scott Servais and why Jorge Polanco gets so much grief from fans.

As for the rest of the Mariners, they'll take on the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night with first pitch coming at 3:40 p.m. PT. The M's won the opener of the series on Tuesday, 8-3.

They are now 50-43 on the year.
