Mariners Notes: Infield Needs, Trade Candidates, Sloan
The Mariners are in the market for a boost on the left side of the infield. The flexibility of infielder Colt Emerson means the addition could be a shortstop or a third baseman, relays Adam Jude of the Seattle Times.
“We really appreciate the fact that Colt is versatile enough to go be our best third baseman on any given day,” president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said. “Our resting point right now is that we go into the season and Colt is our shortstop, but we don’t want to limit ourselves or limit our targets in an offseason acquisition to just a third baseman.”
