User:Not Dodgers to Seattle! Choi Ji-man's former teammate Hotajun All-Star batter → A new start

The Hotajun batter, who boasts the Rookie of the Year of the American League in the Major League Baseball (MLB) and All-Star career, has found a new nest. Randy Arosarena (29, Cuba), who played for the Tampa Bay Rays when Choi Ji-man was a teammate, has found a new team. There was a high possibility that he would go to the LA Dodgers, but he eventually joined hands with the Seattle Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners announced the transfer of Arosarena on Wednesday (Korea time). Pitcher Brody Hopkins, outfielder Aidan Smith, and afterwards, they gave up the right to nominate players to recruit Arosarena. Expecting that the team will strengthen its offense power to advance to the post season, the team invited Arosarena, a "hotajun," to the team.

Arozarena started her big league career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. In the following year, she moved to the Tampa Bay Rays and grew up to be the center hitter. She has both fast feet and long hitting power. She was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2021, and was named the American League All Star last year. She also led the Tampa Bay lineup while playing with Choi Ji-man.

He marked 20-20 (more than 20 homers and more than 20 steals) for the third consecutive year since 2021, but he showed somewhat sluggish performance this season. He only hit 0.211, showing problems in accuracy. However, he hit 15 homers, proving that he has no problem with his slugging capability. His team batting average of 0.216 is expected to give strength to Seattle's offense, which has a very weak lineup.

Seattle is fiercely competing to become the leader in the American League West. It recorded 53 wins and 51 losses through Sunday to rank second in the district. It was one game behind the Houston Astros (53 wins and 49 losses). It is 1.5 games ahead of the third-place Texas Rangers (51 wins and 52 losses). The team is expected to stage a tight race for the district championship until the end of this season.

The team has shown very sluggish performance lately. It has been mired in three consecutive losses, losing its global lead to Houston. It has lost two wins and eight losses in its recent 10 games. Texas, ranking third, has been chasing the team with five consecutive wins, which has increased its burden. As it seeks to advance to the autumn festival, it has attempted to strengthen its capacity and prepared for counterattack in the second half of the year by strengthening its offense power by embracing Arosarena.
