2 reasons why Mariners could look to trade All-Star starter Logan Gilbert
Seattle could consider trading Gilbert this offseason.
The Seattle Mariners, currently experiencing a disappointing 2026 Major League Baseball season, may consider trading their All-Star starter, Logan Gilbert. The team's pitching depth has been strong in recent years, making the front office a potential candidate to acquire additional bats through a trade. Logan Gilbert, currently ranked seventh in the AL with 165 innings pitched, has a 3.71 ERA in 28 starts this season, which is his highest since 2023.
An extension with the Mariners does not appear to be a likely scenario for Gilbert, suggesting the team may look to deal him while his value is high. Gilbert's high salary of $10.9 million and the prospect of a raise in his final year of arbitration make him a logical trade candidate. If the Mariners trade Gilbert, they can replace him with other pitching prospects Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan.
