I agree with this, but also think if you're getting something of value at a place where there's a significant need maybe it's worth trading from the outfield depth.
Eg Andres Munoz's contract steps up quite a lot this year. He's a legit 1A closer, sub 2 ERA etc. Bumps Hoffman down, way cheaper than Diaz etc. Maybe the Mariners don't want to pay for that and would like a cost controlled outfielder.
