SEATTLE MARINERS:HAS JUST COMPLETED ANOTHER GREAT SIGNING TODAY………

The Seattle Mariners need offensive support even after they defeated the Los Angeles Angels 9-0 on Saturday night.

The M’s, who are 33-27 and in first place in the American League West, are only +3 in run differential this season and are in the lower half of most offensive categories.

The Los Angeles Angels were defeated 9–0 on Saturday night, but the Seattle Mariners still need offensive support.

The M’s are only +3 in run differential this season and are in last place in the American League West with a 33-27 record. They also rank close to the bottom of most offensive measures.

What about France, Ty? How do the M’s handle France if they are bringing in first

 

base improvements? Reaching out.France, with 256 points so far this season, is coming off a strong May. In addition to hitting the game-winning blast against the Angels on Friday night, he has seven home runs. Or would the Mariners just bench the Frenchman? Would they give him to Alonso in exchange for a package? Would they switch him to first base? And in that scenario, what happens to Mitch Haniger and Mitch Garver?

What would Alonso’s price be? Alonso is still a multiple All-Star with four seasons of 37 or more home runs under his belt. He will be a free agency at the conclusion of the season, and it might not cost as much as you think. This season, he is hitting.239 with 13 home runs, and he will still require a respectable prospect package.

Would the M’s really abandon France for the chance to work with Locklear? Would they possibly start Locklear at third base in some lineups? According to MLB.com, the 23-year-old is the organization’s eighth-ranked prospect. A sample of his prospect profile is as follows:

Despite being a multi-talented player, the right-handed hitter’s immense raw power remains his primary tool. He is able to hit the ball into every field.
