Salk: 10 options for the Mariners to complete their outfield

The Mariners have made three moves in the offseason. They have three open outfield spots and one in middle of the infield. The team has internal options to fill those spots. They want to keep their players in a role that allows them to maximize their talents. Their last postseason run was their first in 20 years.

The Mariners didn't sign one of the big name shortstops. They did not want to keep pushing for the players. Instead, they signed Kolten Wong. They didn’t have to give up pitching nor prospects. It gives them more ammunition for a bigger pickup elsewhere. The team didn's want the long-term contract for one player.

The Mariners have two open positions in their outfield/DH mix. They have some less established internal possibilities like Taylor Trammel, Cade Marlowe and Hummel. The best player for them is Reynolds, who is 27 and plays center field. He's a good hitter, a solid player and controllable for three years of arbitration. Conforto is a very good player, but he's coming off a bad season. He would be expensive and not the best option. His contract is also not very long. It's not a great class of free agents. There are some interesting players in the market, like Judge.
