Seattle Mariners Nothing Happened Yet

Nothing came out of  the  general  manager's  
meeting that we know of. Is no news is good 
news we will  find out  I guess.

Coming up next will be the owner's  meeting .
Whether the Mariners  or other teams makes
moves beforehand  we will see. 

The Mariners  have made moves in November 
before so we hope so it will happen.  Personally 
I  don't  like this dead time. You will find sites
for team's  fans that bring speculation instead
of news. I  would prefer telling you something 
will happen. 

Obviously  the Mariners  will need to get another
outfielder  who might bat right-handed. Right
now they have Jarred Kelenic and Dominic 
for the corner outfield  spots and they both hit
left handed. 

They have Dylan Moore who is right handed hitter 
but I  am  not  thrilled there. He might be a good 
defensive  player in the outfield and infield but 
hasn't hit very well for the Mariners.  He did have 
a season  back I think  in 2019 where he hit in the 
clutch though his average  wasn't  high though 
better than since 2019. He is hooked to  a  three 
year contract with two years now remaining.  I 
don't  mind him on the team as long as the Mariners 
pick up another bench player who can hit.

Jose Caballero  as a rookie last year did a good 
job last season  until  the second half when his
hitting  declined. I  would platoon him at second 
base if the Mariners  don't  pick up another player 
to play full-time.  They have Josh Rojas  who is
lefthanded hitter who did fine when he came over
in the Paul Sewald  trade.  In fact better  than expected. 
They have Ryan Bliss who they picked up in the
Sewald trade as well.  He was named defensive 
player in the Arizona Fall League.  When he is ready 
we will find out. He can play shortstop as well. 

Hopefully  some trade or free agent signing comes
soon. Go M's.
