The Texas Rangers inquired whether third baseman Kyle Seager wanted to reverse his retirement and join his brother Corey Seager on the left side of their infield. Kyle, who hit 35 home runs in 2021 with the Seattle Mariners, declined the Rangers offer. As of right now, the Rangers plan to use Andy Ibanez as their primary third baseman, but recently signed Brad Miller and Charlie Culberson could also see some playing time at the hot corner for Texas. Kyle Seager spent all 11 of his big leagues seasons with Seattle and hit .251/.321/.442 with 242 home runs, 807 RBI, 705 runs scored and 55 stolen bases. A left side of the infield consisting of both Seager brothers would have been pretty interesting.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager announced his retirement in a statement that was posted to Twitter by his wife on Wednesday. Seager is calling it quits after a career season in 2021 in which he posted 35 home runs and 101 RBI. In his 11 seasons in MLB, all with the Mariners, Seager recorded 242 home runs, 807 RBI and had a .251 batting average. The 34-year-old was originally a third-round pick by Seattle in 2009, and he made his big-league debut in 2011. Seager's breakout came in his second season in 2012, when he hit 20 home runs in 155 games while slashing .259/.316/.423. Abraham Toro is an option to settle into the hot corner with Seager gone in 2022, but the Mariners could address the position via free agency or trade once the lockout is lifted.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager is set to be a free agent, as assistant general manager Justin Hollander informed Seager via email Sunday that his option would be declined. Seager will receive a buyout of two million dollars. The 34-year-old slashed .212/.285/.438 with 35 homers and 101 RBI in 159 games this season and was recently named a finalist for the American League Silver Slugger award. He has not known another organization since being drafted in 2009, but wherever he catches on, the lefty swinger will be a solid corner-infield option for fantasy managers in search of power.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (elbow) is currently dealing with right elbow soreness. According to multiple sources, the injury has been bugging him for about a week now. He's been regularly playing the field lately, but he's starting at designated hitter for Thursday's game against Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics. Dylan Moore is covering third base in Thursday's game. Seager has been extremely hot at the plate this week, going 8-for-14 with four doubles and a home run over the last three days. Fantasy managers should continue to slot him into their lineups, but this is something worth monitoring going forward.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a big day Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double. He now has 35 homers and 100 RBI this season, making him one of just five players to reach those marks thus far this year. He's slashing .379/.419/.655 over his last seven games, hopefully peaking at the right time for fantasy managers who have enjoyed some very hot and very cold stretches from the lefty swinger this year.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a three-hit game against the Oakland Athletics Monday, hitting a double and two singles and driving in three runs. Seager has now matched his career high with 99 RBI for the season. It's his fourth three-hit game of the year, and his first since June 13. Seager can be a drain on batting average, hitting just .211, but he's contributed plenty for fantasy managers with his 34 homers and 74 runs scored.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager will take a seat on the bench for Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Dylan Moore will get the start at the hot corner in his stead, and Abraham Toro moves up to the third spot in the lineup. Seager has hit nine homers over his last 30 games, but he's struggled to a .120/.241/.160 slash line with no homers over his last seven games. Fantasy managers will hope the day off does him good and gets him back to his slugging ways.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager reached base four times Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored against the Houston Astros. Seager provides plenty of power and RBI, but it's usually his batting average and on-base skills that hurt his value. If he continues to walk with this frequency, his floor elevates significantly. He's slashed .179/.303/.536 over his last seven games, making him well worth an add for the rest of the season.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit his 34th home run of the season Tuesday, going 1-for-4 in a 5-4 extra-inning loss to the division-leading Astros. The solo shot came off of relief pitcher Yimi Garcia in the sixth inning. Seager is well past his previous career high of 30 home runs, and with 94 RBI he's within five of tying his career best in that category as well. He's only got a .740 OPS on the year, but fantasy managers have to be very pleased with their return on investment with the veteran Seager.
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager set a new career-high in home runs Sunday, knocking his 31st of the year off of Kansas City Royals reliever Tyler Zuber to give the Mariners a lead that they would not relinquish in a 4-3 victory. Seager has been on a sustained power binge, with nine homers this month and 13 since July 26. Despite just a .216 average, he's managed to be a strong contributor in both homers and RBI with 85. He's been an excellent investment for fantasy managers, especially if they've been able to stay afloat in the batting average category.
