Thu Mar 17 202212:44Rangers Asked About Kyle Seager
The Texas Rangers inquired whether third baseman Kyle Seager wanted to reverse his retirement and join his brother Corey Seager on the left side of their infield. Kyle, who hit 35 home runs in 2021 with the Seattle Mariners, declined the Rangers offer. As of right now, the Rangers plan to use Andy Ibanez as their primary third baseman, but recently signed Brad Miller and Charlie Culberson could also see some playing time at the hot corner for Texas. Kyle Seager spent all 11 of his big leagues seasons with Seattle and hit .251/.321/.442 with 242 home runs, 807 RBI, 705 runs scored and 55 stolen bases. A left side of the infield consisting of both Seager brothers would have been pretty interesting.

Wed Dec 29 202114:16Kyle Seager Announces His Retirement
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager announced his retirement in a statement that was posted to Twitter by his wife on Wednesday. Seager is calling it quits after a career season in 2021 in which he posted 35 home runs and 101 RBI. In his 11 seasons in MLB, all with the Mariners, Seager recorded 242 home runs, 807 RBI and had a .251 batting average. The 34-year-old was originally a third-round pick by Seattle in 2009, and he made his big-league debut in 2011. Seager's breakout came in his second season in 2012, when he hit 20 home runs in 155 games while slashing .259/.316/.423. Abraham Toro is an option to settle into the hot corner with Seager gone in 2022, but the Mariners could address the position via free agency or trade once the lockout is lifted.

Mon Nov 1 202101:45Kyle Seager To Hit Free Agency
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager is set to be a free agent, as assistant general manager Justin Hollander informed Seager via email Sunday that his option would be declined. Seager will receive a buyout of two million dollars. The 34-year-old slashed .212/.285/.438 with 35 homers and 101 RBI in 159 games this season and was recently named a finalist for the American League Silver Slugger award. He has not known another organization since being drafted in 2009, but wherever he catches on, the lefty swinger will be a solid corner-infield option for fantasy managers in search of power.

Thu Sep 23 202114:21Kyle Seager Dealing With Elbow Soreness
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (elbow) is currently dealing with right elbow soreness. According to multiple sources, the injury has been bugging him for about a week now. He's been regularly playing the field lately, but he's starting at designated hitter for Thursday's game against Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics. Dylan Moore is covering third base in Thursday's game. Seager has been extremely hot at the plate this week, going 8-for-14 with four doubles and a home run over the last three days. Fantasy managers should continue to slot him into their lineups, but this is something worth monitoring going forward.

Sun Sep 19 202112:03Kyle Seager Gets A Breather Sunday

Dylan Moore will get the start at the hot corner in his stead, and Abraham Toro moves up to the third spot in the lineup. Seager has hit nine homers over his last 30 games, but he's struggled to a .120/.241/.160 slash line with no homers over his last seven games. Fantasy managers will hope the day off does him good and gets him back to his slugging ways.

Thu Sep 9 202113:37Kyle Seager Reaches Four Times Wednesday
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager reached base four times Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored against the Houston Astros. Seager provides plenty of power and RBI, but it's usually his batting average and on-base skills that hurt his value. If he continues to walk with this frequency, his floor elevates significantly. He's slashed .179/.303/.536 over his last seven games, making him well worth an add for the rest of the season.

Wed Sep 8 202100:08Kyle Seager Hits 34th Homer
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit his 34th home run of the season Tuesday, going 1-for-4 in a 5-4 extra-inning loss to the division-leading Astros. The solo shot came off of relief pitcher Yimi Garcia in the sixth inning. Seager is well past his previous career high of 30 home runs, and with 94 RBI he's within five of tying his career best in that category as well. He's only got a .740 OPS on the year, but fantasy managers have to be very pleased with their return on investment with the veteran Seager.

Seager has now hit 12 home runs in his last 30 games, continuing an impressive power binge that has carried fantasy managers up the standings. He comes with a .218 average, but he's worth it for the homers and RBI.

It was his only knock in five at-bats against the Astros, but it came at a big moment, giving the team a 6-2 lead in the top of the 11th. He now has a seven-game hit streak and a 14-game on-base streak going. Seager is making a push for the league lead in homers by a third baseman, as he's now tied with Rafael Devers at 29. He should be in fantasy rosters in all formats.

Seager has been a major boon to his fantasy managers over that span, and could continue to carry teams into the fantasy playoffs.

Thu Aug 19 202110:30Kyle Seager Hits 27th Homer
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager extended his on-base streak to 10 games Wednesday night, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double against the Texas Rangers in a 3-1 victory.

It's Seager's second home run in his last three games, and he now has 11 over his past 30 games, a span in which he's produced a .554 slugging percentage. Seager is what he is at this point of his career, and that's a guy who'll put up plenty of power and RBI, but might be a sink for fantasy managers in the batting average category.

That's made him well worth a lineup spot for fantasy managers, despite only having a .731 OPS in 437 at-bats.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager kept up his hot hitting Saturday against the New York Yankees, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run. He also swiped his third base of the season.

With his power stroke simply not slowing down, Seager should be rostered in all leagues going forward.

Despite a pedestrian-at-best .731 OPS on the season, Seager produced an outstanding .876 number in July and has kept that up through the early days of August. He needs to be in fantasy lineups going forward.

Wed Aug 4 202101:56Kyle Seager Has RBI Streak Broken
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had recorded an RBI in eight straight games entering Tuesday, but unfortunately he could not extend that streak against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Despite an unfortunate .297 on-base percentage, Seager has been excellent with runners in scoring position, posting a 1.060 OPS in such situations. His 66 RBI have made him a positive fantasy performer on the year.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager continued his power surge Saturday, smacking a two-run home run off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Taylor Hearn in the first inning of a 5-4 extra-inning loss. He also singled in four at-bats. Seager has been outstanding in his last seven games, slashing .280/.419/.760 with four home runs and 11 RBI. He isn't very reliable in the on-base department, putting up a .295 number on the year, but he's been strong with his 22 homers and 64 RBI. He's a must-add going into the next scoring period, and for as long as he stays hot.

Thu Jul 29 202102:14Late-scratch Judge hits tiebreaking single for Yanks in 10th
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Judge went from being a late scratch to hitting a tiebreaking single in a two-run 10th inning to help the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day, 3-1 on Wednesday night. Judge was taken out of the lineup about 30 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Although no announcement was made about why, the All-Star right fielder struck out in the fifth pinch-hitting for Estevan Florial. Judge returned to the team Tuesday after going on the COVID-19 injured list July 16. New York also had a big night off the field. The Yankees reached a deal to get All-Star slugger Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move had not yet been announced and was subject to approval of medical records of the players involved. Greg Allen was hit by a pitch from Pete Fairbanks (3-4) leading off the 10th, putting runners on first and second. Judge... [More]
