After some initial possibilities on this trade front, the Seattle Mariners probably won't want to take the risk.
On Monday, it was revealed that Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner underwent flexor tendon surgery on his throwing arm.
That surgery came out of nowhere, as there was no indication that Hoerner was hurt and he never went on the injured list in 2024 as a result of any arm issues.Nico Hoerner underwent flexor tendon surgery after having discomfort in his right forearm for a significant portion of the season. The Cubs won’t have a clear sense of his timeline until the Gold Glove second baseman reports for spring training next year.
Nico Hoerner underwent flexor tendon surgery after having discomfort in his right forearm for a significant portion of the season. The Cubs won’t have a clear sense of his timeline until the Gold Glove second baseman reports for spring training next year.While the Seattle Mariners have never officially been linked to Hoerner, this injury likely makes him someone the M's won't target in trades this winter.
Prior to the injury news, a trade pairing made some real sense though. First, with the M's expected to decline the team option on Jorge Polanco, the team will have an opening at second base. Hoerner is a Gold Glove second baseman , just 27 years old , under team control for the next two seasons , and only owed approximately $11.5 million in each of the next two seasons .
However, the injury seems to make all of these moot points moving forward and the Mariners will need to continue looking for a long-term answer at second base.
