The Mariners Step One of the Rebuild
General manager Jerry Dipoto called the Mariners 2019 season one of retooling though I am sure most of us call it a rebuild.
Though the Mariners only won 68 games on the season, we did see some positive sights on the 2019 team. One of those spots was at catcher where starter Omar Narvaez had an outstanding season with a batting average of .278 along with 22 home runs a career-high.
Also, his backup Tom Murphy had an outstanding season as well. The Mariners acquired him from the San Francisco Giants on March 29. He ended up with an average of .283 with 18 home runs in a part-time role.
