In a huge day for Mariners fans the team went out and signed not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 former all-stars. They signed Jose Contreras, Melvin Mora, Omar Vizquel, and Jim Thome all to 1-year deals. Jose Contreras will be placed in the middle relief position while Thome will DH everyday and Melvin Mora will be the regular at 3B. Vizquel will play a utility role off of the bench, able to fill in almost anywhere when someone needs a day off. Martin Prado has also been shifted to 2B to solve the inconsistency at 2B and Bogusevic will take his place in right field.
Pedro Alvarez, Gordon Beckham, Leonys Martin, and Jared Burton were all sent down to Triple-A
Manager Eric Wedge had this to say of the signing, "I am very pleased with the 4 veterans that we acquired today. All of these players are still capable of going out there and improving the team that we had. I am much more confident in our teams chances of making the postseason after these moves."
