The Seattle Mariners have struggled to find a suitable second baseman since trading Robinson Cano in 2018. Players like Kolten Wong and Adam Frazier have attempted to fill the void, but with little success. Currently, the Mariners are looking at Cole Young as a long-term solution, although he may not join the Opening Day roster in 2025.

Additionally, the team is evaluating Hye-Seong Kim from the Korean Baseball Organization as a potential signing. Kim's strong performance in the KBO makes him an attractive option, potentially alleviating the Mariners' second base woes.

However, adding Kim could complicate the roster situation, especially with other prospects like Ryan Bliss and Dylan Moore in the mix. As the team navigates these decisions, they must consider the future of their infield and the impact of their choices on existing players.
