Carlos González News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is one of the players the Mariners are releasing among their minor league cuts. Gonzalez signed a minor league deal with the M's with an invite to spring training, where he hit .237 before the coronavirus shutdown in early March. The 34-year-old Venezuelan was a three-time All-Star with the Rockies but struggled mightily in 2019 in his first season away from Coors Field, hitting a combined .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 45 games (166 plate appearances) with the Indians and Cubs. Car-Go could resurface elsewhere, but he's unlikely to make much of an impact on a major league squad, especially in a shortened 2020 season.
The Seattle Mariners signed outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to a minor league deal on Tuesday that will pay him $750,000 if he makes the major league roster. Gonzalez will also receive an invite to big league camp in spring training. The three-time All-Star has a shot to make the team's Opening Day roster, but he will most likely be a platoon bat, at best, if that happens. Car-Go had some great years with the Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field, but he hit just .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 45 games with the Indians and Cubs in 2019. He'll need to do much better than that to earn a spot with Seattle. It's likely that Gonzalez's days of being a fantasy contributor across all formats has come to an end.
Free-agent outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who is 34 years old, intends to play in 2020. Gonzalez, a three-time All-Star with the Rockies, spent his first season away from Colorado last year with the Indians and Cubs and struggled in his 45 games. Car-Go hit just .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 145 at-bats. He was always a much better hitter at Coors Field than on the road in his time with the Rockies, and he likely has little left to offer fantasy owners if he signs with a team and makes their major league roster. At this point in his career, Gonzalez would be nothing more than a platoon bat in a corner outfield spot.
