Months after taking a $1 million buyout of his contract, the #Mariners brought Mitch Garver back from free agency on a minor league deal.

What might the M's be expecting out of him, and what might Garver expect in Seattle in 2026?

Continued excellence from @fangraphs.com with these new tools!

Put together a quick comp of Cal, Julio, and Naylor on a chart of squared-up% (% of batted balls that reach 80% or more of theoretical max EV) and launch angle.

Helps show what kind of contact each hitter tends toward.

Great to see @cascadiafc.bsky.social shouted out by the MLS Communications staff, and I'm excited to begin another year of covering the #Sounders on Sunday!
