Mariners have top prospects around the infield and just locked up Naylor, not sure what Sosa does for them. And with Julio in CF, Robert’s value to the M’s is diminished, unless he finds his All Star form at the plate. 

They have Cole Young as basically their only 2B right now. Looking at the profiles there's a good shot that Sosa is the better player in 26, in what should be a contention window for the Mariners. I dunno, I'd argue you are never getting 9 WAR from a catcher again, and even regressing to a 4 WAR star puts them behind the 8 ball a bit. They need to try and improve.

Raleigh has had 2 straight years at a very high WAR. Soon, it will be three.
