Seattle Mariners – The Mariners needed a right-handed hitting outfielder and Austin Jackson was their man. Jackson is a free agent after 2016 so they’re getting two and a half seasons with him and he figures to get even better as he enters his prime years. Also the cost of getting Jackson wasn’t high since Nick Franklin was the only outgoing player and he has spent most of the year in the minors. – Grade A
