"The Mariners and Diamondbacks are among the clubs with interest in free agent slugger Jorge Soler, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Soler opted out of the final year and $13MM on his three-year contract with the Marlins at the beginning of the offseason."
"Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said earlier this offseason that he hoped to lower the team's strikeout rate, and moving on from both Hernandez (31.1%) and Suarez (30.8%) work toward that end. Soler has long had strikeout issues of his own, but he's at 25.1% over the past three seasons. That's a notable decrease from both Hernandez and Suarez, and Soler has more power than either player."
