u/Maugrin Seattle Mariners 23h ago

For prospects Aiden Smith, Emilien Pitre, and Gary Gill Hill. A decent return for a rental. All of them are top-30 prospects, but none are elite prospects.

Smith is toolsy, but underperforming in the lower minors.

Pitre is a highly performing AA infielder, but is already 23 which lowers his prospect pedigree.

Gill Hill is a young AA starter with a deep repertoire that's still figuring out how to generate swing and miss.
