PLEASE let it be Candyass.
Ty France is a former All-Star and was a major part of Seattle's offense for several years . . . and then the wheels fell off last season. Maybe this change of scenery will spark his old self back. Besides, they get cash to help pay his salary and it only cost them a Catcher that has spent FOUR seasons bouncing between A and Rookie League.
Andruw Salcedo had 34 hits in 111 at bats his first pro season in 2021 for a .362 batting average.
He then had 34 hits the next three seasons in 212 at bats for a .160 batting average.
It gets worse, in parts of three Winter Ball seasons, he went 7 for 87 for a .083 batting average.
The Mariners cut a struggling Major Leaguer and then paid the Reds to drop off a stiff at the bus stop.
