I totally agree, selling off just 4 games back and behind just two teams where one is the extremely likely to regress mariners seems pretty drastic.
But, they are still in a not great place to make the postseason, I don't believe are in a QO position with Semien, and could very well re-sign him in offseason. I just want sox to be pushing, that's all.
(and the only reason I mention is because apparently it was mentioned on the ESPN broadcast and I did not hear it, which means that the yankees were inquiring I'm sure to move him to SS and torres to 2b)
