The infield was the primary focus for the Mariners this offseason. Other than J.P. Crawford, the franchise has struggled to lock down a recognizable infield name. Jorge Polanco and Josh Naylor were arguably the first newcomers to find success in a long time, and while the latter was Seattle's biggest splash of the winter, the former ultimately departed for the Mets, creating another vacancy in the middle infield.
Fortunately, they managed to pivot to Brendan Donovan in the final days leading up to Spring Training and he seems poised to give the lineup a meaningful boost, assuming everything goes according to plan.
