## Resource

The Mariners are on the hunt for a right-handed bat who can get on base and put pressure on defense—no homers needed, just consistency. With Rob Refsnyder sidelined and left-handed power already covered, Taylor Ward emerges as the ideal fit: patient, disciplined, and a perfect complement to their lineup. While flashy options like Contreras sound tempting, they’d create roster chaos. Ward? He’s the smart, practical move that makes the whole team work better.
