Kade Anderson brings Mariners
Digest more
Left-hander Kade Anderson, the prized pitching prospect of the Seattle Mariners, will be promoted to make his highly anticipated MLB debut Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.
Basallo is off the injured list and is now the primary catcher in Baltimore. Or, even if Carlos Narvaez holds onto that job, Basallo will play every day at 1B/DH. The .239 batting average is not ideal, but 16 home runs and a 13.1% barrel rate over 88 games will help you in power categories.
Kade Anderson is the 19th Mariner and sixth pitcher to wear No. 13, but his own history with the number makes this pairing feel destined.
