Sigh of relief that he didn't sign here.

I assume Jerry acquired his wife via Draft or Trade vs. Free Agency

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
We have the resources to pick up a decent left handed reliever. If we don't I have a bad feeling it's going to bite us in the ass in match up situations. We have kind of been dodging a bullet imo. Hey! Maybe JK can convert and have some value and get out of Darren and my doghouse.

From Wednesday's chat with MLB Trade Rumors columnist Anthony Franco:harmony wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 9:50 pmShould the Mariners offer a minor league contract to 28-year-old free agent Edwin Rios, a lefthand-hitting corner infielder with power?

Would Rios accept a minor league contract with the Mariners?
Rios, who has a career wRC+ of 112 in 112 games, posted a wRC+ of 120 in 27 games last year. FanGraphs and Steamer each project Rios at a 2023 wRC+ of 95 with 0.2 and 0.1 WAR in 60 games. FanGraphs projects Rios to maintain his career strikeout rate of about 32 percent.

Rios reportedly is a defensive liability but could provide insurance down at Tacoma as a potential complement to righthand-hitting Ty France and Eugenio Suarez at the corners.

6:14 With Seattle still needing a corner infielder, who right now would be a good option?
Anthony Franco
6:15 Left-handed bat would probably be ideal. Think they'd be an interesting to roll the dice on Edwin Rios
6:16 Could see the roster fit with Joey Wendle as a multi-positional infielder who guards against some Suarez regression, but the Miguel Rojas trade probably makes it less likely Miami deals Wendle
