The Mariners have signed outfielder Rymer Liriano to a minor-league contract with an invitation to MLB spring training, reports Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times (via Twitter). The club has since confirmed the agreement.
Liriano hasn’t reached the majors since a brief stint with the 2017 White Sox. Between that time in Chicago and some work with the 2014 Padres, he has compiled 167 MLB plate appearances with a .220/.293/.287 slash (66 wRC+).
He spent 2019 with the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse, where he hit .209/.346/.403 with ten home runs in 247 plate appearances. Still just 28 years old, Liriano came up as a center field prospect in the San Diego system but was used exclusively in the corners last season. He’ll presumably vie for a spot in an uncertain Seattle corner outfield mix this spring.
Oh he’s definitely going to play with them at some point this year.
I definitely think there’s a chance but between Lewis, Fraley, Bishop, Siri, CarGo, Filia, etc. he won’t have many opportunities.
Leading off playing 2b shed long
LF Kyle Lewis
3B seager
Dh vogy for righties cargo for lefties
1b Evan white
SS dee Gordon or Crawford
Cf Gordon or bishop
RF Fraly or lopes until haniger is back or traded
I think kelenic gets called up before the trade deadline and they move mallex as well
One thing I can say about Rymer, he’s assuredly no five and dimer.
And this we can say, on any old day, we know his wife’s a two-timer.
Rymer Liriano is like, “Is it a crime to cheer me on, though?”
No rymer reason
“Dont have a ramon laureano? On a budget? Well have I got a deal for you!”
Is he related to Francisco or just a coincidence? Also he’s a righty with a lot of lefties in that lineup. He’s got a decent chance to platoon. Cargo is awful vs LHP
Vogelbach is plain awful.
He was an all star last year; though he struggled second have of season. He far from plain awful; think he be a solid DH
Vogelbach is awesome when he hits one out of the park.When it does connect it really flies a long ways. Most opposing pitchers underestimate him and get careless.That’s when he is dangerous.
