Contract Value Index (CVI)
Victor Robles' two-year, $9.8 million deal with the Mariners earns a C+ CVI grade that reflects both measured optimism and realistic expectations for the former top prospect. At $4.9M annually, Seattle is paying above-market rate for what projects as a rotational outfielder, but the contract makes sense given Robles' defensive versatility and the team's competitive window. The 27-year-old brings legitimate center field capability and plus speed to a Mariners roster that needed outfield depth, particularly with their aging corner pieces and questions about organizational depth at the position. While Robles hasn't lived up to his prospect pedigree offensively — posting a career 85 wRC+ — his glove-first profile has consistent 1.5-2 WAR upside if he can find even league-average hitting. Seattle essentially paid a modest premium for defensive reliability and positional flexibility, betting that a change of scenery might unlock some offensive potential in a player who still possesses intriguing tools. The deal won't move the needle significantly, but it's the type of calculated gamble contending teams make when addressing roster construction needs without blocking prospects or committing long-term resources.
Performance Analysis
Victor Robles grades as an above average performer among MLB right fielders, earning a B Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.247 batting average and a 0.687 OPS (below the league average of .720) this season. With 36 home runs and 191 RBI through 639 games (a 9-HR, 48-RBI pace over a full season), he brings limited power to the lineup. His 106 stolen bases add an elite speed dimension that creates additional offensive value. As a player entering his prime window at 28, Victor is a key contributor for the Mariners. A 639-game sample provides high confidence in this grade.
