The Mariners lost to the Dodgers, by the way. Bad.
But anyway, as of just minutes after the game, the Mariners have officially finalized their Opening Day 25-man roster. They held off on making their final few moves just in case an appealing name came across the waiver wire, and a big part of me was expecting them to go outside the organization for a righty bat to stash at the end of the bench, but no such righty bat has been acquired, and so Luis Rodriguez has indeed secured a roster spot after seemingly being destined for a trip to Tacoma just a few days ago. Ryan Langerhans has also been added, while Mauricio Robles has been transferred to the 60-day DL.
Your Opening Day 2011 Seattle Mariners!
