26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Seattle Mariners AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bliss gets our attention when scanning player pages because he swiped 55 bases in 2023 and repeated that total in the Seattle organization in 2024. That streak came to an end in 2025 as his body twice failed him, first with a torn left bicep in early April and then a torn meniscus while on rehab assignment in September. A healthy Bliss is an intriguing AL-Only reserve stash because of his versatility as he attempts to make the club out of camp. He and Cole Young will be battling out for the starting second base job while Bliss would be up against Leo Rivas and Samad Taylor for the utility fielder role on the club. Either way, the speed is intriguing enough to keep Bliss in mind for the end game but watch how these roster battles play out in camp. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Bliss got his feet wet at the major-league level in 2024, putting up just a .687 OPS but cranking a couple home runs and stealing five bases over 71 plate appearances. The 25-year-old reached the 50-steal plateau in the minors for the second straight year, and Bliss also has surprising pop for a guy of his stature with 23 long balls in 153 contests at the Triple-A level. Although he played only second base with the Mariners, Bliss is also capable of handling shortstop, third base and left field. Whether he'll have a role with the big club on Opening Day is not yet clear, but Bliss has some fantasy potential if he gets an opportunity, particularly in the stolen base department.
Seattle acquired Bliss in the four-player deal that shipped Paul Sewald to Arizona. The infielder scorched Double-A pitching to the tune of .358/.414/.594, and while he initially struggled in Triple-A, a hot finish allowed him to finish with an OPS of .822 in Tacoma over 226 plate appearances while finishing with 55 stolen bases for good measure. Despite a less-than-prototypical frame, Bliss has been able to tap into more power than expected when he was drafted with the 42nd pick in 2021, and he makes enough hard contact to all parts of the field to believe he can hit for a high average, as well. He isn't likely to make the Opening Day roster, but Bliss has a good chance of making his MLB debut in 2024, and there's certainly a chance for fantasy relevance in the coming seasons.
