named the sixty players who will be in camp
starting on Wednesday.
The one player most everyone were wondering
about Mitch Haniger was put on the 60-day
injured list so it looks like he won't be on the
team this year.
Haniger was put on the injured list last season
in early June so not playing the rest of the way.
He had surgery as well keeping him out the
rest of last year.
We hope to see him next year or his career
will be in jeopardy for sure.
The Mariners will have five catchers in camp
with Tom Murphy and Austin Nola expected
to be on the 30 man roster begin of the season.
One catcher will be on the three player taxi
squad traveling on the road with the team.
They have 16 infielders and 7 outfielders listed.
The utility players who will make the opening
roster are listed as infielders but will likely play
some outfield when needed. Mallex Smith along
with Jake Fraley and Kyle Lewis should be on
the opening day roster.
They have 14 starting pitchers though only six
will begin the season in the rotation. The last
three first round picks Logan Gilbert, George
Kirby and this years Emerson Hancock. Logan
Gilbert will be the only one considered to be
added to the roster at any point if any of the six
are injured or not healthy.
They 18 relievers in camp. They will go with
either nine or ten relievers to start the season.
If they go with ten one less position player will
be on the team. They have four non-roster
relievers included.
Austin Adams injured at the end of last season
is expected to go. He was going to miss about
half the season but now should be on the opening
roster as long as he doesn't have any set backs.
The news this week will be everyone be healthy
and not fail the Covid-19 testing.
