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 was a top prospect with the Nationals but struggled with performance and injuries in recent years.
  • The Mariners will pay only the prorated league minimum salary, with the Nationals covering the rest of his $2.65 million salary.
  • 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.
