Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. A historic Mariners season is over, the World Series is nearly over, and the Hot Stove is still on the pre-heat setting. So, it’s the perfect time for a complete nonsense FPF theme: assigning the 2022 Seattle Mariners players to their spiritual counterparts on the 22-23 Seattle Kraken!
I’ve kept the idea for this week’s post in my pocket since last year, but the Kraken were really bad and it kinda took a while for me to get a good feel for personalities on the team. They kept most of the better players from last season and added a good chunk of new ones, in addition to the prospect talent from the last two drafts, and the team is off to a much better start this season and is generally more fun to watch.
