3 years agoHours after a deal to send him to the Philadelphia Phillies fell through, Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Tyler Anderson is now on the verge of being traded to the Seattle Mariners, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. The deal with Philadelphia that was reported earlier on Tuesday fell through reportedly because of concerns with the medical reports on one of the prospects that were going to Pittsburgh. There's no word yet of what the haul will look like for Pittsburgh, but it does look like this move will be a potential downgrade for Anderson. He would've had some good value pitching in Philadelphia, but going to a tougher American League West division could make it tough on him the rest of the way. It's still at least a slight upgrade over Pittsburgh, though.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
