Availability
Patrick Wisdom has agreed to a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners. The contract presumably includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Wisdom has played parts of seven seasons in the major leagues with the Cardinals, Rangers, and Cubs. The right-handed slugger has belted 88 career home runs in 1,473 plate appearances but has batted just .209 in his career. Between 2021-23 with the Cubs, Wisdom hit 76 home runs in 337 games but also struck out in 37% of his plate appearances. Given his plus-power, Wisdom could get some at bats with Seattle in 2026, but he is likely destined for Triple-A Tacoma to begin the year.

Fantasy Impact
Wisdom played in the KBO last season and belted 35 home runs in 119 games. The corner infielder had three consecutive 20-home run seasons with the Cubs from 2021-23 with a career-best 28 round trippers in 2021. However, Wisdom's main issue has been his alarming strikeout rate of 36.7% in parts of seven seasons. Wisdom's MLB experience and his power should give him a shot to make Seattle's opening day roster, especially if Eugenio Suarez leaves via free agency.
