The Seattle Mariners have a proud and storied history of Gold Glove Award winners, led by Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki with 10 apiece. There was a genuine and justified belief that Julio Rodríguez was going to claim his first one this season in center field, but as per MLB.com, it instead went to Ceddanne Rafaela of the Boston Red Sox.
We can certainly appreciate there are those who believe Rodríguez should have won, but in reality it's not exactly an outrage. In any event, even as the three-time All-Star must wait at least one more season to win his first Gold Glove, the Mariners have someone who will be underrated by some, but who also has an excellent chance of taking home the award next year.
