2019 Seattle Mariners

The Mariners gave up on their path of the last few years of trying to go for it and either coming up a handful of games short or being out by June. They haven't been to the playoffs since 2001 and are on the way to adding a few more years to the streak.

Kikuchi is a power lefty from Japan who looks like he'll be cool

Ichiro is still awesome and will play at least for the two games in Japan to open the season

King Felix's continuing quest for at least being an acceptable 5th starter continues :negative:

Edwin Encarnacion is as surprised as anyone to have made it to Spring Training on the team

Select Mariners you may have heard of who are gone:
Nelson Cruz (Twins), Robinson Cano (Mets), Edwin Diaz (Mets), James Paxton (Yankees), Hisashi Iwakuma (Yomiuri Giants - NPB), Jean Segura (Phillies), Ben Gamel (Brewers), Mike Zunino (Rays), Álex Colomé (White Sox)

The rest of the roster is a set of leftovers and young guys either hitting the majors for the first time or getting a change of scenery. They're going to be bad. The only question is if it'll be a scrappy fun bad or unwatchable bad.

One time I got a horrible, retaliatory review at work but hey, at least I'm going to the baseball game afterwards so I can disconnect from it. The Mariners had like 8 little league errors and got annihilated. I did not stay for the postgame fireworks show.

The real return came from sending Diaz though in order to get the Mets to take Canos contract.
