The Frankenstein's monster first baseman to solve all the Mariners’ problems (probably)

Related Topics: Seattle Mariners, Joc Pederson

The Seattle Mariners have an issue at first base. For the last three years, Ty France has dutifully handled first base and, for the most part, was successful. Unfortunately, a sudden and dramatic decline in production saw the end of France’s tenure in Seattle when he was officially DFA’d and subsequently traded last July. While the Mariners managed through the rest of the season with a mishmash of options at the position, this offseason now presents the opportunity to address the position in full. Now, some of you may have the kooky concept to sign or trade for a full-time first baseman.
