The Dilemma
Mitch Haniger – 17
Until Lewis turned heads in July and August, Mitch Haniger was the most popular Seattle Mariners player. Haniger may have even kept the title had he not missed almost two seasons due to a nasty injury and its complications. He’ll be back next season and is signed through 2023. The question jersey shoppers want to know is: Will Haniger be the same player he was before the injury?
Franchise Mainstays
Marco Gonzales – 7
Marco Gonzales has established himself well among his MLB peers. There are thoughts that he will garner Cy Young considerations for his 2020 season. He has improved in each of his four seasons in Seattle and is under contract for four more years. Beyond this, Marco is an active member of the Seattle community. He is one of the few players to live in Seattle year-round. You will often see his face around charities and drives around the northwest. You won’t go wrong with a Marco Gonzales jersey.
A few weeks ago, Monica and I started a food drive to help kids and families struggling with food insecurity across the state of Washington. We would like to take a moment to announce some good news & thank you all for your support. pic.twitter.com/d9v7zC4KZu

Kyle Seager – 15
Kyle Seager is the longest-tenured Mariner, having been drafted in 2009. His current contract can expire at the end of 2021 with an expensive team option for the 2022 season. Seager’s recent level of play makes him a great extension candidate, whether through the team option or a new contract at a reduced rate. Seager is a strong leader with great character.
He will be held in high regard by M’s fans no matter where he ends up playing in 2022 or beyond. There’s no doubt Seager will be in the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame one day.
