Report: Mariners showing interest in Mike Napoli

mike-napoli

Mike Napoli returning to the AL West might not actually be the craziest timeline.

According to a report by Jon Morosi of FOX Sports on Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners are showing early interest in Napoli. Morosi also notes Napoli’s history with Mariners manager Scott Servais, who served as director of player development for the Texas Rangers during Napoli’s brief stint there.

Napoli, 35, hit .239/.335/.465 with 34 home runs and 101 RBIs for the Cleveland Indians last season. The Mariners were 20th in the league with a .750 OPS out of the first base position in 2015 (per ESPN), so the veteran slugger could fill a need for them.

Considering that Seattle is still without a playoff appearance since 2001, perhaps a former World Series champion and party animal like Napoli is exactly the type of player they need to bring in this offseason.
