Mariners Not Far Off From Spring Training

As we know time goes by fast and spring

training begins in five or six weeks.

The Mariners signed Josh Naylor short 

after the world series was over. 

The next guy up was trading catcher 

Harry Ford to the Washington Nationals 

for lefty reliever Jose Ferrer. The Mariners 

made another move to the major league

roster by signing free agent outfielder/

first baseman Rob Refsnider to the roster.

Most of the Mariners move have been 

for signing minor Leaguers who will be 

invited to camp or guys picked up off

waivers. Wednesday the Mariners signed

veteran third baseman to a minor league

contract and invited to spring training.

There is word out the Eugenio Suarez 

might sign a free agent contract with

Diamondbacks. The Mariners lost 

Jorge Palanco to the New York Mets

in December.

This means the Mariners may have 

to go after someone in a trade. There 

have been tumors who that maybe. 

Katel Marte and Brennan Donovan 

have been the two main names.

Knowing Jerry Dipoto will the Mariners 

get someone we would not expect

that would be better than either one

of them or be equal. We might see

soon. 

Cole Young right now be the second

baseman and Ben Williamson at third.

Whoever they pick up play either spot 

or both. Will the Mariners trade any

major leaguers or just prospects.

We do know thesriners need to improve 

at utility player as well. Is Colt Emerson 

start in the majors as well. Stay tuned 

to see. The answers may not be far off.

Go Mariners!
