What's Next For Mariners

The trade the Mariners made on Saturday
bringing Adam Frazier improved the team.
How much we won't know until the season
begins and what other signings or trades
come about.

At least right now Adam Frazier is the 

Mariners second baseman and Abraham

Toro takes over at third base. The Mariners

sign one of the free agent infielders out

there than Frazier or Toro will be a super

utility player. This would depend whether

the Mariners feel the player signed is better

at second or third. 

This free agent sign  Frazier could be playing

some outfield and possibly third base on 

occasion or the free agent is more to play

third base than Toro will spend time at

both second and third. He could do some

duty at first base as well. 

The Mariners don't have a full-time dh

so Frazier, Toro and the unknown free 

agent will be there as well. We do know

Kyle Lewis and Mitch Haniger will be

at dh on some occasions as well. Luis

Torrens will likely be dh against lefties.

He to could be behind the plate once

again or some first and third as well.

Besides signing a infield free agent

the Mariners need to bring in at least

one starting pitcher. At this point we

know they have Marco Gonzales, Chris

Flexen and Logan Gilbert. Another 

pitcher added on would improve the

rotation. The Mariners will have

Justus Sheffield and Justin Dunn 

back among a few others. One of

them might be the 5th starter but

an ace would be more than nice.

In other news the Washington State

Cougars announced Jake Dickert is

now the Head Coach and no more

the interim coach. Not a big surprise

after the win over Washington in the

Apple Cup. 

In college basketball #5 Duke beat

#1 Gonzaga Saturday night 84-81. 

Though Gonzaga likely not #1 any

longer expect them to be one of the

top seeds when NCAA tournament

happens in March. 

Gonzaga did have four players in 

double figures led by guard Julian

Strawther with 20 points and 10

rebounds. Gonzaga takes on Tarleton

State on Monday night. Never heard 

of them I was in the same boat. They

are located in Stephenville, Texas.

A member of the WAC conference.

The game will be in Spokane.
