Classic baseball name – Tuffy Gosewisch.
Travis’ Wood
Very unlikely to beat out Ruiz or Zunino for a roster spot.

But decent depth in case of injury.

Low-risk high-upside play. If he finally carries over some bat to the MLB level at 33 years old, he will make a great backup and give Seattle trading depth. Heck, the Braves might be interested in a trade for Ruiz or Zunino (doubt they trade Zunino) if it works out. Its possible he could challenge Sucre for the backup if Sucre has options left, allowing the Mariners to trade Ruiz and have plenty of depth. Ruiz should be very affordable, right? Didn’t the Dodgers pay most of his salary? That would alleviate any needed cash value in a trade. I thought, “possible primer to a catcher trade” when I saw it.

Pretty sure Sucre is out of options.

WRONG ON THESE FOUR COUNTS
1. Gosewich not going to be Seattle’s backup catcher unless there’s an injury to one ofZunino or Ruiz.
2.. Ruiz was just acquired this winter to be the M’s backup. They’re not trading him or cutting him because they acquired a 33-year-old journeyman catcher with a .199 career average in the bigs.
3. Ruiz is NOT particularly “affordable” at $4.5 mil next year. Probably the highest paid backup catcher in baseball.
4. The Dodgers are not paying Ruiz’s salary.
But other than that, you’re right on the money.
