Man, it’s a hot one.

This move gives Seattle another experienced bat to hopefully stabilize their gutted lineup, which has suffered the loss of Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis, Tom Murphy, and Ty France, and now may face at least brief suspensions to Jesse Winker, Julio Rodríguez, and others to finish the job the Anaheim Angels attempted to start with their temper tantrum.
