Possible Scenarios for the 2024 Seattle Mariners Roster

Your Mariners 2024 2nd Baseman is…

John: Abraham Toro – Toro came over to the Mariners in the poorly-timed trade with the Astros for Kendall Graveman. It speaks to who he is as a player that he came into an unwelcoming environment and has been absolutely crushing the ball. He’s also showing he has the chops to be an effective second baseman. His speed on the bases, power, and fielding abilities make for a dangerous infielder. There’s a reason the Mariners front office has loved this guy’s game – he’s the real deal.

Chris: Abraham Toro – Here’s the hope, that he came over as a steal in the Astros trade, turning into the prospect everyone hoped for back in 2019. Although he didn’t have reps at second before coming to the Mariners, he worked with their coaches to take advantage of an open position. It hasn’t even been a month, and it seems like most Mariners fans are already enamored with Toro.

Connor: Abraham Toro – The Mariners gave up their best reliever since Edwin Diaz for him, so the team must see some real promise in Toro. After hitting 2 home runs in 2 games to start his career as a full-time starter with the Mariners, he certainly looks the part so far. He’s arbitration-eligible through 2025 and will be 27 in 2024, likely in his prime.

Jamey: Noelvi Marte – Looks like I’m the odd man out, and I’ll explain why when we get to third base. Marte’s potential is sky high, but there are questions about his long-term ability to stick at shortstop. A lot of people think he may end up at third base, but in this scenario I have him moving to second. Marte’s a good enough athlete to make the move, with the hope he can become a D.J. LeMahieu type player for the Mariners.
