The M's have the worst batting average and most strikeouts in the league, and they're bottom five in total runs and slugging percentage. Their offense needs help to put them over the top.

At the start of June, I said this month was all about putting the microscope on the Mariners offense. Would it gain momentum, or would it need some help?July 1st is tomorrow, and I can definitively now say: It needs some help.Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the big picture view that the M’s are in first place heading into July- a fact we could’ve only dreamed about at the start of the year. The M’s began the month with a four-game lead in the AL West and they’re ending it with a 3.5-game lead.

5 million based on an acquisition date of July 30th, or more if acquired before then, unless the Blue Jays were willing to eat that cost. That means we’re back at square one, with a Mariners ownership group that set a smaller budget than anticipated this offseason - a group that has rightfully come under fire for being, let’s just say it: Cheap. Close to a month ago, team chairman John Stanton told the Seattle Times that the front office will have his support to be active in the trade market.
