The Seattle Mariners have signed a surprising outfielder to a rare August contract extension, as they look to emulate his comeback effort on a team-wide level.
As the Seattle Mariners attempt to climb back in the standings and hunt down their first-ever World Series title, finding capable hitters has been a supreme challenge.Their .674 on-base plus slugging percentage is 28th out of the 30 MLB teams through Sunday, better only than the rebuilding Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins. Bright spots have been few and far between.
All he's done since is hit .303 with a .372 on-base percentage and .450 slugging percentage.Robles' 140 OPS+ — along with the arrival of trade deadline acquisition Randy Arozarena — has stabilized an outfield that has struggled to produce at the plate.The Mariners are apparently big believers that Robles can sustain his production despite a career slash line of .238/.312/.360 entering this season. They've signed him to a two-year contract extension worth $9.
