During a Yankees-Brewers game, Suzyn Waldman made a quip about the Mariners’ ongoing offensive issues directed at newcomer Dave Sims. Despite one of the best pitching staffs in MLB, Seattle has consistently struggled at the plate. Their batting average placed them near the bottom last season, and they faced a 7-0 shutout in a recent game against the A's. Meanwhile, the Yankees showcased their power with record-setting home runs, leaving no doubt in their dominant victory.
Over the past few seasons, the Mariners have been known for their poor offense, which has often held them back from greater success.
The Mariners also had bottom-10 finishes in hits, doubles, home runs and slugging percentage.
Seattle finished last season with one of the best pitching staffs in the majors, leading the league in team ERA, WHIP and hits per nine innings.
Cortes mentioned, 'Thinking back on how my career was there, they watched me grow up. I became who I became with the Yankees.'
