The Seattle Mariners have claimed first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia from the Cincinnati Reds, marking their first offseason addition. Toglia, 28, missed most of the 2026 season due to a dislocated right shoulder and subsequent surgery that revealed a torn labrum. Previously drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2019, his career has been marred by inconsistency, as he holds a.198 batting average over 1095 plate appearances. The Mariners see potential in Toglia, who has shown significant power and made adjustments to improve his swing mechanics. His performance in Seattle will be closely monitored as he attempts to capitalize on his raw talent.
