Now, let’s be honest; the Seattle Mariners opening day third baseman is more than likely going to be Kyle Seager. He has 2-years left on his contract, including a team option, totaling $38 million for 2020 and 2021. They also have a $15 million option for 2022, with a buyout that maxes out at $3 million.
So, all in all, the Mariners are locked into Seager for another 2-years at $40 million guaranteed. Now, Seager’s solid bounce-back campaign has helped re-gain some trade value, but the clause in his contract that turns the team option into a player option if traded is still a major problem.
