Seattle Mariners: Who Wants Playoff Pie? Look Inside For This Amazing Recipe
All fine foods have their own great recipe. Here is the Seattle Mariners recipe for a great upcoming season.
Everyone seems to have opinions about the Seattle Mariners‘ needs once the lockout ends. The M’s are rumored to be in the mix for signing free agents Kris Bryant and Seiya Suzuki, as well as making trades for starting pitcher Luis Castillo and others.
Add in a pinch, if not a dash of Kris Bryant
Bryant would look amazing with Mariners. With the Mariners’ roster flexibility, adding someone as versatile as him would really enhance what Scott Servais can do. Adding Kris Bryant puts the onus of making the playoffs on Servais and GM Jerry Dipoto. At least if they lose out on Bryant, they have the built-in excuse of “we did everything we could.”
The advantage of signing Bryant is that it shores up a spot on the roster that makes a prospect or two expendable. Noelvi Marte is going to be a star but potentially a star without a position to migrate towards in the big leagues. Reinventing someone with his level of talent seems to be a mistake as well. While no one wants to see him outside of the organization and excelling if he brings back a controllable position of need. Well, then that’s a domino the Mariners have to be willing to push over.
For all of the narratives out there about why KB would sign with the Seattle Mariners, the bottom line is that no one really knows. The chances of him actually signing with Seattle are slim. That is based on basic math. Bryant is entering his age 30 season, and locking him up for the foreseeable future means that he’ll occupy money that could go to any of the rising Mariners stars.
Never Forget when Kris Bryant pulled a Henry Rowengartner while mic’d up 😂😂 https://t.co/NcRDu6ax6o
