Mariners utility player Negrón’s motto – be ready for everything

Kristopher Negrón has carved out his niche as a super utility player since he made his MLB debut with the Cincinnati Reds in back in 2012.

During five of the past seven seasons — including late last season with the Seattle Mariners — he has started in every position except pitcher and catcher.

Now, more than a decade removed from when he was drafted in 2006, the 33-year-old says he approaches his role the same way he always has.

“It’s just be ready for everything — infield, outfield — that’s the niche that I’ve had over the years,” Negrón said.
