Dylan Moore, Sam Haggerty Could Be A Bit Behind
2 years agoSeattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said the team's top two bench players -- Dylan Moore (core) and Sam Haggerty (groin) -- may be a bit behind schedule in spring training when position players report on Feb. 20. Moore had core-muscle surgery in early December and had "a bit of a setback" in his rehab. Haggerty had a Grade 2 adductor strain at the end of last year, but he resumed full baseball activity last week. There are indications that he needed offseason surgery. Barring more setbacks for Moore and Haggerty, they should both be on the Opening Day roster as bench bats for the improved Mariners. Moore will be an option against left-handed pitching and is a deep-league option for steals after stealing 20-plus bags each of the last two years.
