On Friday night, the San Francisco Giants will play the first of a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners in Washington.
The Giants will look to build off a series where they took three out of four games from the Colorado Rockies last weekend.

He is currently batting .162 with 12 hits, four home runs, nine RBIs and eight runs in 29 games.
Looking At Haase

Haase was picked in the 7th round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
He has also spent time with the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians and Milwaukee Brewers over nine seasons.
In 2021 (with the Tigers), Haase hit 22 home runs with 61 RBIs.

It will be interesting to see if another team makes a claim on the 33-year-old, as he could provide good catching depth.
There is also the chance that he returns to San Francisco (in Triple-A).
Social Media Reacts
