Sign Jason Heyward

Leonys Martin, barring any sort of new devilry, is the 2016 Seattle Mariners starting center fielder. In left field, us here at Lookout Landing, and likely anyone else looking at the current M's roster* sees a natural platoon between Seth Smith and Franklin Gutierrez. This, unless you believe in Nelson Cruz Right Fielder, leaves an open spot in the outfield, one that needs fixing, and probably won't and shouldn't be handed directly to Boog-ey Lewis and the News. The Seattle Mariners should spend money, maybe even lots of it, to fill that hole with Jason Heyward.
