Mariners Claim Keon Broxton

By Ty Bradley | July 27, 2019 at 3:17pm CDT

The Mariners have claimed OF Keon Broxton, reports Greg Johns of mlb.com. The 29-year-old was designated for assignment Sunday by the Orioles.

It’s the third team this season for Broxton, who was acquired in the offseason by Mets and jettisoned after a miserable to start to the season. In 142 plate appearances for New York and Baltimore, the righty’s slashed .188/.244/.289 with a shocking 43.0% strikeout rate. Swing-and-miss has always been the undoing for the speedy outfielder, who again has posted stellar, if not elite, defensive and baserunning numbers.

Broxton’ll look to squeeze his way into a hobbled Mariner outfield that’s currently without Mitch Haniger and Domingo Santana. Centerfielder Mallex Smith hasn’t been able to replicate his breakout 2018 campaign, so perhaps Broxton will be in the mix there. A corner spot may also be up for grabs – rookie Dylan Moore hasn’t offered much in his sporadic action, either.

    Seattle will make the playoffs if they can host Detroit for the rest of the season.

    To the M’s it’s worth a try and they sure don’t have much to block him from playing time.

    I don’t like being the grammar police, but “Broxton’ll”? That seems like pretty lazy writing.

    Broxton seemed like a good dude and plays a great center but was frustrating to watch him swing and miss constantly at down the middle fastballs.

    3rd team this season so makes sense Brodie felt the need to trade three players for him.

        You could send Gohara to us for Broxton. I bet Jerry makes that deal.

      Yes. Until the kids in the restocked minors are ready, I expect to see Seattle make more moves like this… hiring retreads, chancing it with reclamation projects, and checking out some AAAA-types in hopes there might still be some life in a warm body here or there. As it seems like much of the M’s minor league talent is currently in AA and A+ ball, I think there will probably be a lot more acquisitions like Broxton over the next couple of seasons. I believe things will get better for the M’s, but things are going to stay ugly for another two or three years.

    I’m starting to believe in jerry’s ability to find good talent. Hopefully in a couple years we’ll be buyers. When will the pain end?

      As a Mariners fan, I hope it happens sooner than later. I’m thinking 2021 will be interesting and that the M’s could be pretty good by 2022. I believe it will depend mainly on how well the kids currently in the system actually are. Dunn, Sheffield, Kirby, Kelenic, Fraley, Kirby, White and Lewis are just a few who look promising. If a few of them are the real deal, and if the M’s add a few decent stopgap FAs to help at positions they can’t yet fill from within, the team gradually becomes more competitive. Keep building the minor league system, and then get to where they can trade prospects for veterans here and there without depleting the minors. I think this is what they’re trying to do. If a bunch of the kids they’re counting on don’t pan out, it might be more like five or six years than the two-to-three year window Dipoto is suggesting… but here’s hoping for the best!

        In 2021, White, Sheffield, Dunn, Long, Fraley, Lewis, and Bishop should all be given extended looks to own their positions, plus a handful of relievers. Some growing pains should be expected, and perhaps another name or two will pop up, but Seattle will no doubt have to buy some talent to fill in the gaps.

    To say he will possibly be in the mix for centerfield is ridiculous. At least Mallex is batting .230 something.
