Seattle acquires Leonys Martin & Anthony Bass from Texas for James Jones & Tom Wilhelmsen

I like the deal for Seattle as they were looking for a rangy CF that can actually hit. Wilhelmsen had a bumpy last couple season's with the M's, but still is a valuable bullpen piece. James Jones is speed guy, like Dyson, so that'll help late inning for the Rangers.

Interesting trade. The Rangers cut some salary. Counting on Brinson to be the man in CF next year I guess.

I like Martin. Sad to see him go.

I don't know if I'd go that far. They have Delino Deshields Jr. for CF right now, and I believe they are looking at Brinson for a corner OF spot if he comes up next year

They think an awful lot of Brinson. Deshield back to super utility role after Brinson's mid-season callup.(My best nostradamus :lol.
