The Mariners have informed other teams they are open to trading right-hander Emerson Hancock, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. Seattle sits half a game behind Texas in the AL West despite a +17 run differential, and is operating as a buyer at the deadline. The club has rotation depth with six viable starters plus top prospects Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan, making Hancock expendable. The move is driven by a need for offensive reinforcement rather than any dissatisfaction with Hancock.
