The Seattle Mariners have officially announced the acquisition of All-Star infielder/outfielder from the New York Mets. McNeil, who recently expressed a desire for a new opportunity, is joining the Mariners in a move that’s expected to significantly strengthen Seattle’s lineup and add flexibility to the roster.
McNeil, 31, brings experience, consistency, and versatility, qualities that make him a valuable addition. Known for his impressive contact hitting, McNeil was the 2022 National League batting champion and holds a career average of .297. His ability to perform at various positions—both infield and outfield—will provide the Mariners with essential lineup options, especially as they push for postseason success.
The $32 million contract that McNeil carries reflects his experience and high-caliber performance, and the Mariners are confident he will be worth the investment. Mariners’ front office representatives expressed excitement about the acquisition, noting McNeil’s adaptability and commitment to winning as key qualities for their young and dynamic squad.
With McNeil now a part of their roster, the Mariners are solidifying their playoff ambitions and setting the stage for a highly competitive season.
