If it sounds far-fetched that the Mariners would deal him, consider that Seattle president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto did so with his best leverage arm last year, Kendall Graveman, on July 27, when the Mariners were nine games above .500 and one game back of the second AL Wild Card spot. Based on preseason win totals, Chicago opened the season as the biggest favorite to win its division, expected to win 11 more games than its closest challenger in the AL Central.
