In Mariners news...

• Our very own Michael Ajeto hopped over to Pitcher List to write up a big team preview piece for the M’s.
• I’m very excited to see him bring it in what should be a pretty interesting bullpen for the Mariners.

• Larry Stone at The Seattle Times wrote about Kyle Seager and his perspective on a rebuilding club.
• Corey Brock at The Athletic also spoke to Seager about whether or not the third baseman will be around in future years, and how he’s approaching 2021. ($)
