It’s crunch time for the Seattle Mariners. The club’s resurgent August pushed them to rarefied air they’ve not breathed in decades, with pole position in the AL West in the month of September. A poor National League leg of the road trip has sullied that sheen, however. Seattle’s thin lineup was a major concern coming into the season, but promotions, trades, and jettisoning all of the club’s discount free agent additions this winter, as well as Kolten Wong, finally yielded a lineup with some menace. They’re now sitting at 6th in MLB in wRC+ (109), 12th in wOBA (.
Do the Mariners have any reinforcements left on the farm?
