Most of the other available catchers aren’t upgrades over Luis Torrens. Willson Contreras and Sean Murphy lead the market, but are first division starters and way too expensive for Seattle, when the team has other, more pressing needs. But then, maybe other teams would want Torrens because the other available options at catcher are slim pickins. Of course, the fact that Torrens would almost certainly be claimed on waivers reflects the fact that maybe another team could use him more and he could make a useful trade piece. Still, while that and his defense would be a clear upgrade over Torrens, LT is out of options, so the Mariners can’t swap the two without exposing Torrens to waivers. 275/.353/.527 line in Tacoma looks good until you remember it’s the Pacific Coast League, and that only translates to a 114 wRC+.

The other internal option is Brian O’Keefe, a career minor leaguer whose. But as much as the Lookout Landing staff loves Torrens, he’s been as bad as Cal has been good, with a 49 wRC+ and merely acceptable defense. With Tom Murphy out for the year with a torn labrum, the Mariners have gone to Luis Torrens when they’ve deigned to use a backup catcher. But catching is an absolute grind, and he needs some more days off or they risk turning him into Ground Beef Boy. In fairness to the Mariners management, Cal’s play has made it impossible to take him out of the lineup. Since the break? He’s started at catcher in three of the four games, and pinch-hit and caught an inning in the fourth. Thank goodness for the All-Star Break, huh? Starting on June 16, Cal Raleigh appeared in 28 of 29 games heading into the break, including starting at catcher in 24 of those games. As with our other installments, we’ll split this up into two groups: short-term help and those who could contribute in 2023 and beyond. With the Mets, Rays, Guardians, Astros, and Cardinals all at least poking around at the position, competition for help could be fierce. So far, we’ve looked at possible options for the Mariners at second base and starting pitcher as well as a special piece on a possible Soto deal. According to every major source, the Mariners are in active discussions to upgrade. Especially now that Andrew Benintendi has been traded, the floodgates on trade season are about to burst open this weekend.
