Kris Bryant had a rough showing in 2020, with injuries limiting him to 34 games and batting line of .206/.293/.351 for a wRC+ of 75. However, that is the clear outlier on his resume, as his six other seasons have seen him put up a wRC+ of at least 123. Overall, in 884 games, his line is .278/.353/.481, 134 wRC+.

Bryant has been primarily a third baseman in his career, but has diversified his defensive portfolio in recent seasons. In 2021, he still played 55 games at third, but also 48 games in left field, 39 in right, 19 in center, 12 at first base and one at shortstop. With that defensive versatility, it’s possible to fit him into just about any team’s lineup puzzle.

Orioles, Shed Long Agree To Minor League Deal

The Orioles are in agreement with free agent second baseman Shed Long on a minor league contract, reports Jeff Passan of …

We haven't discussed Mitch Haniger much and I'm wondering what you guys make of this,

Mariners position overview: Seattle has an everyday right fielder in Mitch Haniger, but for how long?

Mitch Haniger looks more comfortable than in seasons past and has become more vocal. Along the way, a noticeable joy emerged from Haniger, breaking through his normally serious and stoic façade.

www.seattletimes.com

"And of course, there is the lingering understanding that this could and probably will be Mitch Haniger’s last year in a Mariners uniform, which offers him some freedom in sharing his thoughts and opinions publicly and bluntly."

What do you guys make of this? I know we have a ton of exciting young outfielders, and Haniger does have his injury concerns, but for a team in a win-now mode I'd find it surprising if they let Haniger walk next offseason when he currently projects as the best hitter on the roster.

I recall reading that he has declined contract extension negotiations, but after reading his article he wrote in The Players Tribune, Haniger does seem like a guy who wants to win a championship here so it would seem he wants to stay?

Do you guys think Divish feels this way because Haniger wants to play for another team? Or that given the depth we have at outfield he wouldn't be a priority to retain? Or that giving a guy with his injury history a contract that is commensurate with his production wouldn't be product? Kind of confused by this.

@NWinAZ @SeattleCoug @wazzu31 @ulmax What do you guys think?

 

[seahawksfan234]

I love Cruz but I am just unsure of the fit. I think DH is already gonna be taken by Lewis/Haniger most of the time. I'd prefer that money go to someone that can play in the OF

Yeah it's definitely not a great fit whatsoever, which is why I'm surprised the writer brought him up. Would be cool to have him, but I don't entirely get the thought process given the points you brought up.

 

[seahawksfan234]

I agree as long as that isn't the only move. Add two hitting fielders and Cruz and one more solid plus SP and I am fine with all of that.

My issue is that Cruz would jam up the DH position. What do we do with Kyle Lewis? Just throw him back out in the outfield and hope he doesn't get hurt again? Everything I've read indicates that the Mariners plan on having Lewis mostly slotted in at DH.

 

[NWinAZ]

How can you turn this down? Insane.

If Cruz is the Cruz of the last several years, then he is the best man for the job and would be way better than any other option therefor he wouldn't be clogging anything up. Like I have said many times before, saving a spot for an unproven guy (in this case due to injuries) is a failed plan. A spot will always open up in a 162 games season. It always does.
