Chone Figgins Trade Rumors Link Mariners Third Baseman To A’s

Ken Rosenthal later confirmed the rumor. There’s something to this, and while it’s still in the talking stage and nothing appears to be on the verge of going down, it’s a big potential headline.

In the event of a trade, Kouzmanoff would presumably go back to Seattle, as the Mariners would be in need of a third baseman and the A’s would have a surplus. Kouzmanoff has good power and plays consistent defense, but doesn’t get on base very often and frequently strikes out.
