3 years agoThe Seattle Mariners signed free agent outfielder Justin Upton on Saturday. He was released by the Angels on April 8th and found a new home in Seattle. The 34-year-old slashed .211/.296/.409 with 17 home runs, 41 RBI, and 47 runs over 89 games for the Angels in 2021. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Mariners will be responsible for only about $550,000 in Upton's $28 million contract. Upton will provide Seattle outfield depth and occasionally serve as the team's designated hitter. Fantasy managers in deep league formats searching for power can add Upton to their roster.
