Even if Ty France gives you 140 games, he’s been prone to slumping for 40 of them. The M’s have yet to address DH/1B this off-season and we really don’t have anyone scary who can spell 1B or come off the bench a la Santana. I hope they don’t sign one of these guys and think that role is irrelevant. Much to be made about the Mariners reluctance to spend $300m, but the real concern is their inability to land middle-class, veteran MLB depth & versatility. They need one of these guys, plus one more. Perhaps Pollock AND Profar.
...have to find competition for Ty France... Pollack and Profar would fit nice into the needs of this team

Based on prior comments by M’s management, it seems unlikely they’ll be interested in a 1B/DH type.
