With the Milwaukee Brewers signing veteran left-hander Wade Miley late on Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners now stand alone as the team that has invested the least in free agency this offseason.
At this point, the offseason is winding down and so is free agency, with most of the big-name players off the board with just over a month to go before spring training.
But the Mariners have yet to make a major free agent signing, with the lone exception being right-hander Trevor Gott.
That isn’t to say Seattle has been dormant this offseason, as they did acquire Kolten Wong from the Milwaukee Brewers and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez from the Toronto Blue Jays.
But that hasn’t eased Mariners fans’ frustrations over the lack of activity in free agency.

Clearly, Mariners fans aren’t too thrilled that the team hasn’t done much in free agency.
Nobody is complaining about the team not doing enough to improve before the 2023 season, but fans would like to see a little more activity when it comes to signing free agents.
As previously mentioned, Gott has been the team’s lone free agent signing, and while it could be viewed as an under-the-radar move, it’s not what fans were hoping for, especially after an inspiring season that saw them break their postseason drought.
Seattle won 90 games during the regular season and eliminated the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Wild Card Series.
Unfortunately, their run ended with a 3-0 sweep in the ALDS against the World Series champion Houston Astros
