5 impact RH hitters for Mariners to target in trades, and 1 to stay away from

Zachary Rymer of Sodo Mojo proposes five right-handed hitting trade targets for the Seattle Mariners while advising the club to steer clear of one veteran slugger this offseason. Rymer highlights Ronald Acuna Jr., Hunter Goodman, Miguel Vargas, Coby Mayo, and Zach Neto as potential fits to upgrade Seattle's lineup via trade. The piece suggests that Seattle holds significant pitching depth and prospect capital to entice opposing front offices into making a deal.

Conversely, Rymer strongly argues that Seattle should avoid trading for Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez. Noting Hernandez's prior struggles hitting at T-Mobile Park in 2023 along with his decline entering his age-34 season, the writer asserts that reuniting with him would be an unproductive mistake.
