A series through July looking at needs of contenders
The Seattle Pilots started their season slowly, only showing a .500 record after the month of May. Thanks to a strong June, they find themselves 1 game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Need: Middle Infield
The middle of their infield, Aaron Ledesma and Scott Fletcher, have combined for -0.4 WAR, while the rest of their offense is ranked in the top third of nearly every major category.
Possible Targets
SS Tony Fernandez – Detroit Tigers: Actually a really interesting fit, he’s a rental and veteran, which Seattle has never shied away from.
INF Chip Hale – Chicago Cubs: Assuming the price isn’t bad, worthy of a flyer for this lottery ticket.
