MLB Report: Mariners Acquire Corey Hart & Logan Morrison

[MistaNova]

There is a little talk about Nelson Cruz in Kansas City and Seatle, but they say he's never hit well on the road...

Anyway, it would be nice to see the Mariners really go for it and make a push for once.  Like you said though, I would not question the mind of Billy Beane.  And Nolan Ryan is extremely competitive when it comes to the Rangers so I think he will do whatever it takes to make them a strong team.   No offense, I would like to see the Mariners make a push but I don't see them challenging the A's and Rangers.

Yes, but from another standpoint Cruz would be the 2nd biggest threat in the lineup behind Cano. He'll be able to offer Cano a lot more protection than Smoak or really anybody they have now.

BTW, Nolan Ryan stepped down from the Rangers org. He's just another fan(?) again. Plus while I didn't mention their pitching staff which is just Darvish, Holland and a bunch of injury prone or unproven no-names. They're as vulnurable as ever and stand to lose even more offense as Kinsler is gone, Pierzynski is gone and Cruz is probably on his way out the door.
