Mariners' Seiya Suzuki interest poses a test for John Stanton's spending philosophy
The Seattle Mariners' offseason strayed into whirlwind territory during the second day of the GM Meetings on Tuesday. A J.P. Crawford reunion was still on the board until it wasn't. Seiya Suzuki was an apparent long shot… and now he's not.
The Mariners, according to Adam Jude and Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, have interest in the 32-year-old right fielder. He spent the first five seasons of his major league career with the Chicago Cubs, the last four of which were impressively consistent at the plate. He went 4-for-4 in topping a 125 OPS+ and 20 home runs annually.
