The Tampa Bay Rays may have the solution for the Mariners 2B needs

The Seattle Mariners currently find themselves in a need for some outfield or second base help. With two of their big bats heading to the disabled list, the Mariners have had to relocate Dee Gordon back to his natural position at second. The only problem is, Dee Gordon hasn’t taken any ground balls all season as he has been learning a new position in center field.

Ideally, the Mariners would like to promote from within, but Taylor Motter (56 wRC+ in 126 PA at Triple-A), and Andrew Romine (Hasn’t posted a wRC+ above 71 since 2013) aren’t exactly the long-term replacements a team only 1.
