Mariners Lock Down Versatile Infielder

Details of the Agreement

The Seattle Mariners have signed infielder Ty France to a one-year contract worth $6.775 million, as reported by Major League Baseball sources. The deal includes $6.775 million guaranteed and an annual average salary of $6.775 million. France will play a key role for the Mariners in the upcoming season, providing depth and versatility in the infield.

France, who primarily plays third base but can also fill in at first and second base, has been a reliable performer for the Mariners since being acquired in 2020. In 2023, he batted .270 with 10 home runs and 53 RBIs in 147 games. His versatility and consistent performance make him a valuable asset to any team.

The Mariners are hoping that France can continue to produce at a high level in 2024. With his addition, the team has a solid group of infielders that includes J.P. Crawford, Adam Frazier, and Eugenio Suarez. The Mariners are aiming to contend for a playoff spot in 2024, and France's presence will certainly help their chances.
