4 Replacements the Mariners could look at after trading away Jarred Kelenic

Late Sunday night, the Mariners announced a trade that resulted in dumping the salaries of Evan White and Marco Gonzales. This seems fine and dandy until you realize that they had to create another hole in their offense by including former top prospect, Jarred Kelenic. The Mariners were able to clear about $15 million in this trade and Dipoto stated that they intended to put that to use to improve the club immediately. There are a few solid corner outfield bats on the free agent market, and the Mariners have plenty of ammunition to get a stud outfielder with their depth of starting pitchers as well as their farm system.

Many might question why you really need the $15 million to be cleared to make the club better as you have already gotten rid of the contracts of Teoscar Hernandez and Eugenio Suarez from last year's club. I think this signals a pretty significant move coming soon. It could be for a starting pitcher like Yamamoto or Snell, or it could be for an outfielder, or maybe even a trade where the Mariners needed the space to take on more salary.

No matter how you slice it, the Mariners need to get better in the outfield. There are a few solid corner outfield bats on the free agent market, and the Mariners have plenty of ammunition to get a stud outfielder with their depth of starting pitchers as well as their farm system. Today are going to look at 4 realistic options for the Mariners to replace Jarred Kelenic.
