Mariners Sign Outfielder Rob Refsnyder to 1-Year Contract

On Monday, the Seattle Mariners signed outfielder/first baseman Rob Refsnyder to a one-year, $6.25 million contract with $250,000 in incentives, Ken Rosenthal reported.
Facing an outfield logjam, the Boston Red Sox saw Refsnyder's role grow tenuous amid competition and Romy Gonzalez's emergence with a.331 average and.978 OPS against lefties.
Statistically, Refsnyder has been strong since 2022 with a.312/.407/.516 line vs. left-handed pitching including 28 doubles, 19 homers and 77 RBI, and this year he batted.269 with nine home runs, 30 RBIs and an.838 OPS.
The club expects Refsnyder to get designated-hitter opportunities against left-handers and spell Josh Naylor at first base while covering corner outfield, boosting the Mariners after their first AL West championship since 2001.
Born in Seoul, Refsnyder would become the fourth Korean-born player in Mariners history and is a versatile veteran with a.255 career average, 33 homers and a.730 OPS across 10 major league seasons.
