It’s officially official—Jake Fraley is a member of the Seattle Mariners. Rumors began to spread last night after Fraley was seen leaving Cheney Stadium prior to Tacoma’s 8-3 victory over Salt Lake, but now we have word from the Mariners themselves that Fraley has made their 25-man Major League roster.
This comes as no surprise, and some may even lead you to believe that this promotion is long overdue, as Fraley set the minor leagues ablaze in his first year within the Mariners’ organization. After torching Double-A for two-and-a-half months, Fraley made his way to Tacoma, where he started out slow but eventually caught up to speed.
