Seattle Mariners Unable to Make Another Move as Trade Deadline Closes with Fury
In this story:
Just moments before the clock hit 3 p.m. PT on Thursday, and even in the moments right after, the names were flying off the board fast and furiously.
In no particular order, as the trade deadline hit its conclusion, Camilo Doval went from the San Francisco Giants to the New York Yankees. Shelby Miller went from Arizona to Milwaukee. Griffin Jax got dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays and Charlie Morton went to the Detroit Tigers.
Relievers, from the high-leverage type to the long-relief type, all get dealt, and the Seattle Mariners failed to land any of them.
The Mariners reportedly had interest in bullpen help on Thursday, but evidently the trade deadline ended with the M's doing their biggest shopping prior to deadline day.

IN: 3B Eugenio Suárez, 1B Josh Naylor, LHP Caleb Ferguson
OUT: 1B Tyler Locklear, RHP Hunter Cranton, RHP Juan Burgos, RHP Jeter Martinez, LHP Brandyn Garcia, RHP Ashton Izzi
All of their Top 100 prospects by @MLBPipeline remain.
Despite the inability to close any deals on Thursday, the Mariners did end up making significant moves, acquiring Josh Naylor a week ago, and getting Caleb Ferguson and Eugenio Suarez on Wednesday night.
Suarez and Naylor were the two most impactful bats that moved at the deadline, and the Mariners got them both, while Ferguson should help take some relief off Gabe Speier in the left-handed specialists role.
The Mariners enter play on Thursday in a 53-game sprint to the finish. They are currently tied with the Texas Rangers for the third and final wild card spot in the American League and they'll take on the Rangers for four games beginning Thursday at T-Mobile Park.
First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. PT as George Kirby takes the ball against flamethrowing right-hander Kumar Rocker.
Both teams are 57-52.
