the Mariners a question came up should the
Mariners trade Kyle Seager or not.
There are those who want to keep him feeling
he is a leader. Yes he has been with the Mariners
longer than anyone on the team after the departure
of Felix. Does the fact he is a veteran and been
around make him a leader. I don't think so.
I am not saying he isn't a leader but unless we
are in the Mariner locker room or interact with
the younger players don't know.
For the young players they need an example of
a player not only goes out there and plays every
day like Kyle Seager does but need someone who
has experiences success as far as winning goes.
The Mariners haven't been in the playoffs since
he has been here. Is it his fault probably not but
he has been involved.
Far as a position players goes until last couple
years Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz were the
position players the guys looked to. Cano with
his suspensions probably not as much so. Cruz
is still successful around the age of 40. One of
our favorite Mariners of all time Edgar Martinez
did as well.
Kyle Seager is 34 years old. He should be at his
prime right now. In the field he is still playing
great defense at third base, however, at the plate
he isn't. This last season he got off to a good start
however declined in September. He led the Mariners
in rbi's. Most likely because he was batting fourth
in front of Kyle Lewis.
I hope the Mariners trade Seager so they can get
some prospects back for him. They may have to
eat some of his contract. If Dipoto can unload him
now it would be good. Waiting for the deadline
to trade him possibly but it is a gamble because it
will depend on how he is doing.
I will root for Kyle Seager; he is the kind of person
you just do. I hope he gets traded to someone where
he can have success.
