40 in 40: Ty France is a headliner
Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsIn a manner of speaking, Ty France’s time with the Seattle Mariners has been a resounding success after first arriving with the club in a trade that sent Austin Nola and a couple relievers to the Padres, netting him and three other players in return. Since then, Ty had enough of a breakout with his bat that he played his way into being the everyday starter at first base over the last few seasons. In terms of pure value comparison, France alone has far exceeded what they likely would have gotten out of Nola, and certainly more than what the Padres who recently non-tendered him did in fact get, and that alone is a win for Seattle.
