The Seattle Mariners should be one of the biggest buyers on the free agent market this offseason, so it stands to reason that they would be linked with Marcus Stroman, one of the top free agent pitchers in this class.
But this week it seems current M’s are making a rather public bid for the powerful right-hander’s talent:
My dawg! Unreal year for you. Love what y’all got going on up there. Let’s see how this all plays out. I can’t wait to compete wherever it may be!

Mariners mouthpiece Jon Morosi capitalized on the flurry of conversation Sewald and Stroman’s exchange incited, though it’s worth noting (again) that the careful phrasing of the tweet offers literally nothing concrete beyond the fact that the Mariners (a team looking to buy free agents) are possibly in the market for Marcus Stroman (a free agent).
