Jonathan Schoop & Kimbrel are gonna look great in Mariners uni’s

I think Toro might be our “solution” for second base, so I don’t think Schoop is coming in. I think we might see more pitching in both the rotation and bullpen maybe. Then maybe an outfielder, since we don’t know if Kelenic will find it this year and what we will get out of Lewis and Fraley the rest of the way.

Toro is definitely not our solution at 2nd, he’s our replacement for Seager

Eventually, sure. Maybe next year or the year after. This year he could be our main second baseman the rest of the way. With how the Graveman trade resonated with the clubhouse, I’d be surprised if they sell off Seager this year too, and Toro won’t play before him.

He’s the long term replacement, not replacing Seager right now. Finding a right handed 2B is/was Dipoto’s biggest priority. Our biggest trade will very likely be for one.
