Basically traded them for what looks like a couple marginal prospects that aren't on any lists for the Mariners. I get why the Mariners want to be aggressive and add guys with their current record and Cano being out... but the Rays had two months to the trade deadline.

It looks like a salary dump. They paired Colome with Span to unload the salary.

Shitty move.
