Mariners Sign Former Top Prospect Victor Robles
The 27-year-old outfielder joins Seattle after being released by the Nationals, aiming to revive his career.

- Robles will primarily face left-handed pitchers and serve as a defensive replacement or pinch runner.
- He showed promise in 2019 with 17 home runs and 28 stolen bases, contributing to the Nationals' World Series win.
- Robles hit .299 last season but has struggled in limited appearances this year.
