Dylan Moore is now the longest-tenured Mariner, but on March 30, 2019, he was ten days into his big-league career after having been signed as a minor-league free agent in the offseason. It was a disaster of a start for Moore, who in addition to going 0-for-4 at the plate, committed three straight errors in the ninth inning, allowing three runs to score.
At 30, White Sox veteran Paul DeJong doesn’t have the excuse of being a rookie, but he does have the excuse of having been slid over to the hot corner rather than his natural position of shortstop as the struggling White Sox attempt to showcase some defensive versatility to make DeJong a more appealing trade target—a move that perhaps backfired today, as DeJong had a nightmare third inning that allowed the Mariners to put today’s game out of reach.
