spring training begins. Major League Baseball
is hoping to get in all the games this season.
The question will be when will there be fans
in the stands as well.
I am sure with Governor Jay Inslee we won't
see fans in Seattle until mid-season which
would make it July depending on the vaccine
or the virus has gone down.
The other thing will the Mariners have additional
signings to the bullpen, starting rotation or a
positional player or two.
Since he is a busy beaver I am sure general manager
Jerry Dipoto is working the phones. Though the
bullpen looks like it will be improved over last season
it would be nice to add at least one more reliever to
the group.
The starting rotation we have no word on the free
agent signing of Taijuan Walker or anyone else for
that matter. I am sure the Mariners will do something
there will be soon.
I have mentioned before it would be nice if the Mariners
could pick up another outfielder through free agency
or trade. Please no waiver wire pickups. Enough is
enough.
Right now left field is an open spot for someone to take.
Most likely Jarred Kelenic will have the spot eventually
depending on the health of Mitch Haniger. It would be
nice if Mitch can stay healthy all season long.
If the Mariners don't pick up another outfielder I could
see Jake Fraley and Braden Bishop sharing the position.
Both good defensively but still haven't shown they can
hit major league hitting. Maybe this will be the year.
Additional infielder would be someone who can play
second and third. This would be an option if not picking
up an outfielder. Now Tim Lopes won't be back they
could use another utility player.
Anyway this is a few thoughts on the matter anyway.
Wouldn't be nice to hear something today but I will
take something this week. Let's go M's.
