The Seattle Mariners have just made a big move in signing catcher Mitch Garver to a one-year deal. This signing has the potential to be a game-changer for the Mariners, and could be the first step in turning the franchise around.
Garver is coming off a career year with the Minnesota Twins, where he hit .273 with an OPS of .895. He also had 21 home runs and 67 RBIs. His offensive production was a big part of why the Twins were able to make it to the playoffs last season.
The Mariners are hoping that Garver can bring that same production to Seattle and help turn the team around. He will be joining a lineup that already includes Kyle Seager, J.P. Crawford, and Ty France, and should provide a boost to the offense.
Garver’s signing also has implications for the Mariners’ defense. He is considered one of the best defensive catchers in the league, and his presence should help shore up the Mariners’ defense. His ability to call games and block pitches could be a huge asset for the team.
The signing of Garver is an exciting move for the Mariners, and it could be the first step in turning the franchise around. He is a proven offensive producer, and his defensive prowess should help solidify the team’s defense. With Garver in the lineup, the Mariners are now in a better position to compete in 2021.
It remains to be seen what other moves the Mariners will make this offseason, but this signing of Garver is a great start. It shows that the team is serious about competing in 2021, and it could be the first step in getting the franchise back on track.
