The Seattle Mariners need an upgrade at second base for a multitude of reasons, here are three free-agent candidates that fit the offseason plan.
The Seattle Mariners currently have a hole at the second base position. Opening day starter Shed Long Jr. played through a shin injury the entire season, yielding a step backward in production based on his 2019 sample size. Dee Strange-Gordon is gone, and the Mariners would like better defensive value than Ty France provides at a key position.
