The Mariners their starting third baseman this afternoon, sending to the Diamondbacks for reliever and catcher . That leaves a few paths that Seattle could explore at the hot corner. Internally, it seems recent trade acquisition has the upper hand on the job. Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic ( ) and each report that Seattle is likely to give Uras the third base job. Thats a risky play for a team that expects to contend in 2024. The right-handed hitting Uras is coming off a disappointing season. He had hit only .145/.299/.236 in 20 MLB games for the Brewers early in the 23 season, spending a good portion of the year on optional a signment to Triple-A. Milwaukee moved on at the trade deadline, sending him to the Red Sox. Uras production was improved but still pedestrian in Boston, where he hit .225/.361/.337 over 32 contests. It was e sentially a replacement level showing overall. Uras looked like a roughly average regular over the preceding two seasons in Milwaukee. He had hit .244/.340/.426 in a little over 1000 plate appearances between 2021-22. He combined for 39 home runs with a strong 10.8% walk rate and standard 20.6% strikeout percentage. The Ms clearly believe that hell bounce back from his 2023 season. Seattle dealt reliever to Boston for Uras, who had seemed a non-tender candidate before that trade. MLBTR contributor Bryan Bickell Jersey Matt Swartz forecasts him for a salary in the $4.7MM range for his penultimate arbitration season. While hardly an overwhelming sum, its not an entirely insignificant amount for a player who had fallen down the infield depth charts in Milwaukee and, to a le ser extent, Boston. With four months remaining in the offseason, theres obviously plenty of time for the Seattle front office to bring in another option. MLB.coms Jon Morosi of a run at free agent , although its not clear if thats something the Mariners are actually considering. The switch-hitting Candelario is coming off a far better offensive showing than Uras is. Between the Nationals and Cubs, he ran a .251/.336/.471 batting line with 22 homers in 576 plate appearances. Thered be a viable roster fit for Candelario even if the Mariners wanted Uras to play every day. The latter has plenty of second base experience in his big league tenure. Seattle has a few options at the keystone and primary among them but none who stands a clear regular. A run at Candelario would be out of character for a front office that has shied away from adding offensive talent in free agency. The Ms have rather incredibly not signed a single free agent position player to a multi-year contract in seven offseasons under president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto. MLBTR predicts Candelario for a four-year, $70MM guarantee. While the trade adds some uncertainty to the infield, Zavala now seems the choice to back up behind the plate. Kramer writes that the Ms are no longer planning to pursue a reunion with veteran backstop . Hed played in Seattle since 2019, struggling with injuries but generally making a strong power impact in limited playing time. Murphy hit .250/.324/.460 over his Mariners tenure. He has a shot at a two-year deal in his first trip to free agency. Nick Foligno Jersey
