In 2016, the Mariners ranked 3rd in the league when it came to home runs hit by the entire team with 223 sitting 2 dingers behind the St. Louis Cardinals and 30 behind the Baltimore Orioles.
Suffice it to say, the M’s were already a great power-hitting team, but could they have done more this off-season to bring in more strength at the plate considering there were free agents such as Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Trumbo, Jose Bautista, Yoenis Cespedes, and Carlos Beltran to name some of the more prominent sluggers that were on the market?
