## Resource

The Mariners are eyeing a bold move before the August 3 trade deadline, potentially sending pitcher Emerson Hancock to the Cubs for right-handed power hitter Seiya Suzuki. Hancock, with a solid 3.36 ERA and plenty of upside, fits Chicago’s need for a controllable starter, while Suzuki’s .270 average, 18 homers, and 60 RBIs could instantly upgrade Seattle’s lineup—especially against lefties. The deal hinges on Suzuki waiving his no-trade clause, but if he agrees, it’s a win-win: Seattle gets immediate offense, and the Cubs get a young, affordable arm. Timing is everything—and this could be the perfect moment to strike. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
