The Seattle Mariners appear ready to go all-in on the remainder of the season.
The Mariners made a move on Thursday afternoon by acquiring first baseman Kendrys Morales from the Twins, and according to reports they have sniffed around for some outfield help as well.
Sources: Mariners have asked Rockies about CF Drew Stubbs, but Colorado unsure if they're going to move him. Righty bat, having career year.

The 29-year-old Stubbs is indeed having the best season of his career. In 258 at bats he's posted a .297/.335/.498 line (117 OPS+) while making 57 appearances in center field.
The Mariners could certainly use the outfield help. A rotation of Dustin Ackley, James Jones, Michael Saunders, Cole Gillespie, Endy Chavez, and Stefen Romero have split time in the outfield, combining for a .253/.293/.359 line with 15 home runs and 92 RBIs.
