"France joins the NL West division organization on a minor league deal, with an invite to Spring Training. The-31-year-old reportedly had interest from multiple teams but chose to go back to where it all started. He made his MLB debut for San Diego in 2019, getting into 69 games and hitting seven home runs. France's first "full" season in the majors was in 2020 and after slashing .309/.377/.491 in 20 games with the Padres in the COVID-19 shortened season, he was traded to Seattle."
"The deal involved France, along with Andrés Muñoz, Luis Torrens and Taylor Trammell going to the Mariners for Austin Adams, Dan Altavilla and Austin Nola. France's best season came the following year when he produced a 4.2 bWAR hitting 18 home runs with a .291/.368/.445 slash line. He made the All-Star team the following year, producing a 3.0 bWAR but he hasn't been able to replicate those kinds of years since. He's also been moved around quite a bit over the last two season's."
