Mariners Draft, Develop, Trade philosophy is a good thing
The Seattle Mariners have been able to develop their young players and develop them into useful players. Player development is important for a winning organization. The team has been successful in developing their pitchers. The players drafted by Seattle have had their best seasons before their 30th birthday. They have also been used in key trades to land impactful players for the team. International free agents are also important. It is the same as drafting players to supplement your Major League Roster. If a team drafts players that do not have much value, it cannot trade them for current big leaguers. A team that develops its players is able. to find the hidden gems.
