Now, he’s off to the White Sox in exchange for Narvaez.
Colome came to Seattle last May to serve as their setup man. RHP Alex Colome: The Mariners seem to do a lot of business with the Rays.Can we also agree on “Ace” as has long been the OTBB editorial standard?) (So we’re just capitalizing “Opener” for some reason? The baseball community seems to have silently assented to this. He hasn’t started since 2016, but maybe he can be an Opener or something. RHP Juan Nicasio: Nicasio was a sidepiece in the Segura-Crawford deal.RHP Erik Swanson: Swanson may have only been a sidekick to Sheffield in the Paxton trade, but he’s likely to throw innings for Seattle in some capacity this year.

He was named the #50 overall prospect in baseball this year by Baseball Prospectus, and he could crack the Opening Day rotation.
LHP Justus Sheffield: Sheffield headlined the return for Paxton. LHP Yusei Kikuchi: This year’s biggest Japanese import signed with Seattle for at least three years and $43 million. 60% of this rotation comes from this trade. That’s a trend the Yankees will hope to continue. LHP James Paxton: In each of the past four seasons, Paxton has increased both his innings pitched and his K%. C Mike Zunino: Has Zunino been the best catcher in Mariners history? That’s kind of pathetic for a 43-year-old franchise, but his biggest competition is Dan Wilson, or maybe Dave Valle.
OF Guillermo Heredia: Headed to the Rays in the Mallex Smith deal, Heredia will back up Kevin Kiermaier now. He was the big return in the Segura deal, ranked as high as the #4 prospect in baseball by Baseball Prospectus in both 20. Crawford: Odds are, Crawford takes Beckham’s starting job at some point. Seattle claimed him of waivers in December, then lost him on waivers to Detroit in January. 3B Kaleb Cowart: The former top prospect for the Angels never really hit in the big leagues. Bruce’s contract helped offset the cost of Cano’s salary for the Mets. OF Jay Bruce: Every rebuilding team needs a poor defensive corner outfielder coming off a sub-.700 OPS season. The offseason isn’t over, and clearly, anything could happen with this roster. #Mariners transactions free#
3B Tim Beckham: Dipoto signed Beckham as a free agent to play shortstop… probably. Regardless, he’s back in Cleveland where his career began. 1B Carlos Santana: Santana has a right to complain after two trades in ten days- just not while Mallex Smith is in earshot. LF Ben Gamel: …in exchange for Gamel, who posted a. Seattle will try to resurrect his bat after acquiring him from Milwaukee… RF Domingo Santana: Santana slumped from an. 297/.371/.466 against right handers last year. For those out of the know, like our editor, Omar hit. C Omar Narvaez: On this roster, the left-handed hitting Narvaez (incoming) would likely platoon with the right-handed hitting (outgoing) Mike Zunino. He averaged 38 bombs per season over the last seven years. DH Edwin Encarnacion: In a crazy three-team deal involving Cleveland and Tampa Bay, Encarnacion brings his 380 career home runs to Seattle. 2B Robinson Cano: Halfway through his 10 year, $240 million deal, Cano moves back to New York. SS Jean Segura: Segura was an All-Star for the Mariners last year, but now he’s back in the NL with the Phillies.
Now, he’s going to stick around for a while, headlining the return for Mike Zunino.
CF Mallex Smith: On January 11, 2017, Smith was a Mariner for less than 24 hours, having been traded there from Atlanta and then flipped to Tampa Bay.
