The Mariners have actually authorized infielder/outfielder Jason Vosler to a minors agreement, according to his purchases tracker at MLB.com. Volser will probably get an invite to big league Spring Training.
Vosler, 29, has actually been an up-and-down gamer with the Giants for the previous 2 years. In 2021, he entered into 41 video games and also struck.178/.256/.356 for a wRC+ of 63. He was far better in 72 Triple- A video games, with a line of.295/.385/.529, 125 wRC+. In 2022, that divided was bizarrely turned around, as he generated a. 242/.311/.433 line in the minors however struck.264/.342/.469 in the major leagues. The previous line caused a wRC+ of 82 whereas he had a 127 wRC+ in the majors. Defensively, Vosler has actually played throughout, having actually aligned in any way 4 infield placements and also the outfield edges. Despite that convenience and also some favorable outcomes at home plate, the Giants non-tendered him at period’s end.
For the Mariners, their infield will likely contain Eugenio Su árez, J.P. Crawford, Kolten Wong and also Ty France from entrusted to exactly on many evenings. Tommy La Stella is kind of in the mix however he’s coming off an injury-plagued year where he barely took the area. The outfield will certainly have Julio Rodr íguez, Teoscar Hern ández and also AJ Pollock, along with young gamers that aren’t yet developed like Jarred Kelenic and also Taylor Trammell.
Vosler will likely be taking on Dylan Moore and also Sam Haggerty to offer in a bench/utility function, with injuries potentially opening up a course to obtain onto the lineup as the period rolls along. Vosler strikes from the left side and also has a visible army split in his minimal major league time thus far, 102 wRC+ versus righties however a 78 or else. He might possibly be made use of situationally because the club has a lot of righties readied to remain in their normal schedule. If Vosler does obtain picked to the lineup, he still has a choice year continuing to be and also much less than a year of solution time, permitting the M’s to inexpensively preserve him for the near future if they so select.
