While most Mariners fans, ourselves included, have been focusing on the big contracts like Mike Leake and Edwin Encarnacion, it has also been reported that GM Jerry Dipoto has shopped around first baseman Ryon Healy.
There hasn’t been any chatter surrounding the 27-year-old first baseman all winter. But we do know that the Royals were interested in Healy this July, and still could be interested at this stage as well.
In 2018, Healy struggled in Seattle, slashing .238/.277/.412 with 24 home runs and 73 RBI. However, there is still hope for the 27-year-old, who has succeeded at the big league level in the past, and at every minor league stop around the way.
