Seattle has plans to use Jorge at third base.

7.00 mil with an option. Second year has a 750k buyout. So 7.75 mil guaranteed. For sure beyond Twins money. The Twins can afford nobody until the guys that are left who will sign for an milb. Go with what we have.

Isn't that something. Good for Jorge.

This also seems like Seattle is done adding unless they are involved in a major unforeseen trade.

DiPoto seems unable to trade this winter. He's unwilling to trade pitching and has little on offense to deal that anyone would want. I think Seattle is in for a long season ahead. Lots of 3-2 games? Yes good for Jorge. GL to him.

In DiPoto's defense, Seattle has a fantastic starting five staff but almost nothing behind those five guys. A little bit of a rock and a hard place. They need Arozarena and Rodriguez to have big years. A comeback from Polanco could go a long way too. Seattle will play a ton of close games and could win the AL West.
