Mariners Bring In 35-Homer Patrick Wisdom on Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

The non-roster look targets right-handed power for a third-base competition that remains unsettled entering camp.

Overview

  • Seattle and the 34-year-old infielder reached a minor-league agreement with a big-league spring invitation, according to Just Baseball’s Aram Leighton.
  • Wisdom reignited his bat with the KBO’s Kia Tigers in 2025, hitting 35 home runs with a .236/.321/.535 line and a 126 wRC+.
  • First base belongs to Josh Naylor, leaving third base open for competition that could also involve Ben Williamson and top prospect Colt Emerson.
  • His MLB record includes 76 homers for the Cubs from 2021–2023 with high strikeout rates, followed by a 2024 slide to a .171/.237/.392 line and a non-tender.
  • He previously signed with Seattle in 2019 and was released in 2020 without a game appearance, positioning this as a fresh audition for a bench, DH or platoon role.
