Ranking 9 potential Seattle Mariners second baseman trade targets

No. 2: Jazz Chisholm

Another name on this list that has been common amongst Mariner's circle is the uber-talented, Jazz Chisholm. While others may offer more certainty, there isn't a name on this list (other than the #1 player) that offers the superstar upside that Chisolm possesses.

Chisolm is a legit 5-tool player and would add some much-needed athleticism to a very uninspiring Mariners lineup. After struggling to stay healthy the last two years, Chisolm is in the midst of a major rebound year, slashing .255/.326/.407 with 10 home runs and 17 stolen bases. His 105 wRC+ doesn't point towards an elite bat, but the 25% strikeout rate and 8.8% walk rate show a more mature approach from the 26-year-old lefty.

Chisolm is currently a centerfielder but could move back to the infield dirt if the Mariners decide he is more valuable there. Chisolm's versatility, ability to hit for power, average and steal bases make him an ideal second baseman for a Mariners team desperate for production. Chisolm is currently a centerfielder but could move back to the dirt if the Mariners decide he is more valuable there.

Chisolm is under control through 2026 where he will be 28 and that coupled with his elite offensive traits could make him one of the most desirable names this trade deadline. The Marlins will likely target offense and that could mean guys like Tyler Locklear, Jonatan Clase, Michael Arroyo, Harry Ford, and a few other names are on the board for a Marlins team lacking talent pretty much everywhere.
