Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Mariners have signed 26-year-old utility player Dylan Moore to a Major League contract. Moore was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers in the seventh round of the 2015 MLB Draft. Ranked 26th in the Brewers farm system by FanGraphs, Moore has now made his way to the Pacific Northwest and will get a shot to make Seattle’s Major League club out of the gate.
Though it appears Moore has found a home at first base, our snap reaction to the move is that the M’s likely see him as their new utility player for the upcoming season.
