The non-tender deadline is a tough day for a lot of players. 40 more players are unemployed as of 5 o’clock last night. But with these players becoming unrestricted free agents, an opportunity may have arisen for the Seattle Mariners and GM Jerry Dipoto.
Some really interesting names and skillsets are now on the free-agent market and most will be available for rock bottom prices. The Mariners want to play their young guys in 2020, but there are some holes that cannot be filled with the teams’ current roster. But that could change quickly.
Seattle has already dipped into the lower levels of free agency, taking fliers on guys like Patrick Wisdom, Kendall Graveman, and Carl Edwards Jr.
