The Seattle Mariners are facing a critical offseason decision regarding their second base position, which has seen a variety of players since Robinson Cano's departure in 2018. With the likelihood of declining Jorge Polanco's $12 million option due to his poor performance and injury issues, the team is exploring alternatives.

In-house candidates include Ryan Bliss and Cole Young, while Josh Rojas could also be shifted to second base. An intriguing new option is Hyesong Kim from the Kiwoom Heroes, a promising infielder known for his solid hitting and defensive skills. As the Mariners prepare for the future, they aim to enhance their lineup and reduce strikeouts.
