Part 4/8:
Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners have successfully retained Jorge Polanco, who will play third base for the team. The Mariners needed infield help, and Polanco's recent healthy status after knee surgery adds depth to their roster. The deal, worth $7.75 million for a year, aligns well with the Mariners' budget constraints while looking to improve their performance from the previous season.
Despite various needs, including the pursuit of a standout first baseman, the Mariners' offseason decisions reflect a cautious yet strategic approach. The team is banking on improved hitting, considering last year's frustrations, while managing budget restrictions.
