Nick Margevicius vs. Luis Castillo, 5:40 pm. ROOT TV, Mariners radio
Jake Fraley responded well to the tough love approach I took in yesterday’s preview. You’re welcome, Jake. Keep it up. Have to think he’s still behind Taylor Trammell for the LF job, but it’s better if there’s an actual competition. There may be a competition for the final few bullpen slots as well, but with Roenis Elias coming out of yesterday’s game injured, it won’t exactly be a free for all.
Today’s starter, Nick Margevicius, figures to get one of those spots if he doesn’t beat out Justin Dunn or Ljay Newsome for the 6th starter position.
