3 right handed hitting outfielders for Mariners to go after at the trade deadline

#2 - Taylor Ward, Los Angeles Angels

Taylor isn't a free agent at the end of the year, which means he will cost more than other guys on the market. While Luke Raley has been solid this year, most of that damage has come against right handed pitching. Haniger has been atrocious this year, and Dominic Canzone has shown power with little contact ability. Ward has two more years of team control after this season, and he's a solid corner outfielder who will hit .250 with 20 HR power. Depending on whose WAR you're using, Ward projects somewhere in the 2-3 WAR/year range right now. He's a solid everyday outfielder, and he can hit lefities quite well.

Since the start of 2023, Ward is hitting .327/.389/.551 vs LHP. and his numbers are superior to both Yordan and Soto. Though they're lefties that is quite an accomplishment for a guy who usually isn't mentioned in that crowd. Ward can play either right or left, and is ostensibly regarded as a fine defender. Since he's under team control for those two additional seasons, it'll cost a haul for a solid everyday player like Taylor. Depending on the market, the Angels could get a top 100 prospect and more.
