Mariners' Emerson Extension, Donovan Benching: A Head-Scratcher

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

The Seattle Mariners have signed top prospect Colt Emerson to a $95 million, eight-year deal, but he wont immediately replace J.P. Crawford at shortstop. Instead, Emerson will play third base this season, pushing Brendan Donovan to a utility role. Fans are puzzled, as Donovan outperforms Crawford in both hitting and fielding. Long-term, Emerson is the future shortstop, but Crawfords time in Seattle may be limited. The Mariners decision to trade for Donovan and bench him regularly has fans questioning their strategy.
