Which Mariners are likely to be traded before July 31?

With the All-Star break behind us and the trade deadline just a couple weeks away, which Mariners are most likely to be traded? Most fans would like to see Félix Hernández or Kyle Seager moved but both have high salaries, have dealt with injuries this season and have produced well below expectations. These two aren't going anywhere.

The Mariners do have a couple of players left that have had good seasons, low salaries and are currently healthy.

Domingo Santana's outfield defense is the one blemish on what has been a good season. His .283/.350/.495 triple slash line (batting average/ on-base percentage/slugging) are all above his career averages.

Among contenders, the Indians, Cubs and Cardinals would all get an upgrade with his bat either in the outfield or as a designated hitter. He becomes arbitration eligible next season and is currently making $1.9 million this season.

Marco Gonzales has been the Mariners best pitcher this season. In 114 innings he has a 4.24 ERA with a 10-7 win loss record. Though not an ace, he would fit into the middle or back of several contenders rotations. Marco signed a two-year $1.9 million dollar contact with Seattle this season.

Since both players are under very reasonable contracts the Mariners should get a good return on either of them should they chose to trade them. Expect Seattle to dangle one or both of these players before the trade deadline.
