Trade winds
By lefty
In the midst of a five game loosing streak and in New York for a three game series against the Yankees, Seattle is looking for some offense. Mariners GM Bill Bavasi, told Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter John Hickey, "They Don't play offense. They either don't know how to play offense or they can't."
So where is he looking to fill their void? According to the article, a three-way trade with Boston and Kansas City is in the works.
Here's the rumor: Boston sends pitcher Byung Hyun Kim and, possibly, outfielder Johnny Damon to the Mariners for pitcher Freddy Garcia and minor league starter Cha Seung Baek. Garcia is then traded for Kansas City's outfielder Carlos Beltran.
Are Beltran and minor league starter Cha Seung Baek worth Kim and Damon?
