The Mariners trade for Russell Branyan is a valuable lesson for all fantasy owners: when you are out of contention, don’t start trading your future for the present, no matter who it is. If you are out of the hunt, realize that and start planning for next year. The only exception to this rule is if they already have another deal worked out, like sending Branyan in a trade with ...
