Mariners Make A Move Monday

The Mariners signed  a player that won't be high risk or bolster their offense

a lot. Outfielder Victor Robles who was releast by the Washington National 

signed the minimum prorated by the

Mariners. Whether he will make a difference we will see.

The Mariners sent outfielder Jonatan 

Clase back down to Tacoma. Clase has 

had two opportunities with the Mariners 

this year. Robles who has played 14 

games with the Nationals with little

success. He is a right handed bat

which his success has been against 

lefties for the most part.

Robles was in his seventh season

for the Nationals. His best season

was 2017 when he played his first

full season with Nationals. He hit

.255 in 155 games. Robles had 

17 home runs and 65 runs batted in.

He had 28 stolen bases. Since that

year he hasn't played a lot except

in 2022 when  he played in 132 games.

Fobles hit only .224.

A pretty good hitter against lefties

he will probably will be in left field

when Luke Raley has a day off.

This could be a platoon situation

to some degree..Mitch Haniger

will be in right field platooning

with Dominic Canzone and having

some at bats at dh as well.

Robles like Clase we may see him

pinch run on occasion when he

doesn't start. Most likely going 

in for Haniger late in the game.

Again how he does will decide his 

fate. 

Update on Luis Urias he has played 

in seven games for the Tacoma Rainiers

since being sent down.  He is hitting .250

with one home run. His appearance

with the Mariners will depend on how he

does as well as Ryan Bliss. Hevonly has

one hit in 11 at bats but a small sample.

He is good in the clubhouse so hopefully

do well for the Mariners in the long run.

Whether stays will depend how he

does before Jorge Polanco returns 

from the injured list. He will share

time with Dylan Moore at second

base. Most likely Dylan will play

third against lefties when giving

Josh Rojas a day off. 

The series in Oakland the Mariners face 

two righties in the first two games then

lefty JP Sears in game three. Bliss

and Robles may start that game. 

The Mariners are 7-3 in their last ten

games playing Oakland they hope

to gain especially playing the Royals

in Kansas City over the weekend.

The Royals right now are in second 

place behind Cleveland in AL central.

They are 4-6 in their last ten games

so could help.out the Mariners.

The schedule favors the Mariners

now in June. We just hope for 

improvement in the offense.

Go Mariners!
