Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have been firing on all cylinders this offseason. It looks as if the Mariners are making good strides to attempt to return to the postseason. The moves Seattle made this offseason are certainly beneficial. Now, they need one big piece to bring the team together. With that said, the Mariners may look to reunite with one of their former players: Mark Trumbo. With the Mariners in a very good position to break out in the AL West, they made need to turn to Trumbo to fill in the missing piece.

Trumbo could be a beneficial addition to the infield. The Mariners can put Trumbo at first base, which would add him to an infield featuring Kyle Seager, Jean Segura and Robinson Cano. Despite Nelson Cruz‘s struggles in the outfield, Trumbo could also serve as the team’s designated hitter, which would force Cruz to move back to right. Or Trumbo and Cruz could be used in some sort of platoon in right field. The possibilities are endless, but offensively, Trumbo could add more power to the already powerful Mariners lineup.
