Mariners may need to look for a new option to play catcher
The Mariners have a real problem. Well they have lots of problems, but there’s one that hasn’t yet shown signs of being fixed.
There’s a big hole at the number eight spot in the Mariners lineup; Mike Zunino’s spot. He has been miserable this year. Currently hitting .167 with an OBP of .250, slugging .236, he’s become a liability at the plate.

Now most of y’all probably demand I clarify that and say he’s a liability next to the dish. You’ll want me to talk about how his defensive contributions makes up for the poor hitting.

It doesn’t.
