Seattle Mariners Offseason: A Smart Trade for CJ Abrams Could Fill Infield Gap

The Seattle Mariners face a challenge in replacing veteran All-Stars Jorge Polanco and Eugenio Suarez, who have left significant voids in their infield. Fansided writer Zachary Rotman suggests a strategic trade to address this issue: acquiring Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams.

Abrams, a younger All-Star, would be a clear upgrade and a perfect fit for the Mariners young core. His impressive 2021 stats, including a .257 batting average, 35 doubles, 19 home runs, 60 RBIs, and 31 stolen bases, demonstrate his offensive prowess. Moreover, he is cost-effective at $4.2 million this year and has two years of team control left.

While Abrams may not match the offensive output of the departed veterans, his potential and compatibility with the Mariners young stars make him an attractive option. Fans are excited about the prospect of Abrams joining the lineup alongside Cole Young, Colt Emerson, Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, and Josh Naylor. Checkout Solipillow.com
