traded for at the trading deadline to
the Seattle Mariners for his second
duty and help them do to the 7th
game of the SL Championship series
became a free agent.
There was talk whether he would resign
with the Mariners however closer to
spring training which is less than two
weeks he ended up signing a one year
deal with the Cincinnati Reds for one
year for $15 million.
With the Reds he is expected to be
the dh however could play third
base or maybe first base on occasion.
The Reds who the Mariners picked
them up from the first time he came
to Seattle.
The Mariners for the most part will
have a right handed and left handed
dh. When they give Cal Raleigh a
day off mostly against a lefty he
will dh. How often not knowing right
now though likely once a week. Later
in the season the Mariners will rest
him occasion and use him as a pinch
hitter. He has shown the last two or
three seasons he is the teams best
pinch.
On Saturday President of Baseball
Operations Jerry Dipoto at Fan Fest
hinted of sorts that Colt Emerson
and Ben Williamson could play on
at third base. He certainly would like
Colt Emerson to make the team out
of spring training. The Mariners
could still make a trade right before
spring training too. Might sign
a free agent infielder at less
cost than Eugenio as well.
My thought is depending on how
the season goes the Mariners
could bring Eugenio back in
August and that could depend
on the Reds and Mariners. They
have traded with each a lot of
times.
Whether JP Crawford bounces
back or not we may see Emerson
at shortstop as well. Stay tuned.
Go M's.
