As the MLB Trade Deadline sits just five days away, the Seattle Mariners still have a few holes they need to address. The problem is, their farm system is pretty limited, so they will likely have to settle for serviceable generics rather than name-brands, but, if the M’s can play that side of the market well, who’s to say that’s so bad.

The Mariners seem only a few pieces away from the postseason, and if Jerry Dipoto can play his cards right, he could land those pieces, and set Seattle up for a run at October. There’s just one thing he needs to not do at the deadline, and you can find out what that is in this slideshow.
