Seattle Mariners fan proposes a starting infield, is it viable?

Our good pal on Twitter (@Seattle_09) and noted fan of the Seattle Mariners ask us a very simple question that is, once again, impossible to answer. But let’s take a look at what Seattle_09 has for us.

Well, let’s start by establishing a few things. Eduardo Escobar is currently the starting third baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is under contract until after the 2021 season. He is 31-years-old meaning the earliest this proposal can become a reality is the beginning of 2022 when Escobar is 33-years-old.

Now, we discussed this in a previous article, but Kyle Seager will have a 1-year, $15 million team option for 2022, so he very well could be in the mix as well.
