Sprinkle in Some Seiya Suzuki for Flavoring

Suzuki, similar to Bryant, has almost no chance of signing with the Seattle Mariners based on some of the dumbest narratives ever. One of the reasons Bryant will sign is that it’s a quick flight down to his family in Vegas. Suzuki will not sign anywhere based on the Asian population of the city or region, specifically Japanese.

Suzuki started his baseball career playing third base but hasn’t played an infield position since 2014 when he was 19 years old. He’s an outfielder with tremendous power, exceptional zone awareness, and a little bit of speed.

There are two problems with the Seattle Mariners potentially signing the Japanese star. 1) He bats right-handed, and while he should still be a 20+ home run hitter, he’ll lose some of his power in T-Mobile. 2) He’s an outfielder and without knowing the status of Kyle Lewis. Also, the Mariners are likely to play some hocus pocus “Julio Rodriguez isn’t ready magic” to gain more years. The Mariners have a very stacked outfield.

Sign Suzuki and the M’s make room for trades. Specifically K-Lew, Jarred Kelenic, or Mitch Haniger. As well as most of Seattle’s prospects waiting in the wings behind J-Rod. Should I have gone with M-Han? Suzuki could be a big bust too, highly unlikely with that plate discipline, but he could be.
