of the Seattle Mariners start there
season at home against Salt Lake City
on September 5. This is a couple days
before the Mariners start their season.
This will mean the last cuts for the
Mariners will happen a day or two
before the Rainiers start their season.
The Mariners have nine pitchers on their
40-man roster not counting non roster
invitees. The Mariners are expected to
go with eight relievers so at least one
will not make the opening day roster.
The Mariners have seven starters on the
40-man roster with five starters so at least
two will be sent down depending whether
they acquire another starter.
I read where the roster is supposed to be
28 players for the month of April then
going to 26 in May. The two extra players
could be on a practice squad and be active
when needed.
The position players will be 13 on the active
roster. Whether the Mariners go with two or
three catchers we will see. If they go with
two most likely Cal Raleigh and Tom Murphy.
Luis Torrens could be the extra player or be
added on to the opening roster to where he
will dh and play some first base.
Say the Mariners go with two catchers means
they will have three bench players including
whoever is dh. The Mariners will probably go
with four outfielder plus two extra infielders
where at least one can play the outfield too.
Right now the two infielders look to be
Abraham Toro and Dylan Moore. This could
change if Evan White makes the ball club.
The outfield would mean Julio Rodriguez be
number four unless Kyle Lewis is healthy to
play. Moore along with Adam Frazier can play
in the outfield. The same for White if he makes
the ball club.
So at least two infielders will go to Tacoma plus
White if he doesn't make the ball club. Taylor
Trammell who made the opening roster last year
likely be going to Tacoma.
The last couple of the roster spots on the Mariners
won't be easy to make. Have less than two weeks
what happens.
