Mitch Garver Finalizes $24 Million Contract with Seattle Mariners

The 32-year-old catcher, who helped the Rangers win their first World Series, is expected to bring power and depth to the Mariners' lineup.

Mitch Garver, a 32-year-old catcher, has finalized a $24 million, two-year contract with the Seattle Mariners.
Garver hit .270 with 19 homers and 50 RBIs in 87 games for Texas this year, and helped the Rangers win their first World Series.
Mariners president of baseball operations, Jerry Dipoto, stated that Garver was a targeted hitter from the start of the offseason due to his strong combination of zone discipline, on-base skills, and power.
Garver could potentially serve as a designated hitter while backing up Seattle's starting catcher, Cal Raleigh.
Garver, who made his big league debut with the Twins in 2017, is a .252 hitter with 82 homers and 228 RBIs in 451 career big league games.
