As the Mariners’ roster for 2020 begins to come into sharper focus with various roster deadlines forcing decisions, we’re starting to get a better idea of who will be competing for roles in the bullpen next year. Bullpens are traditionally the least stable aspect of any team’s roster, but the Mariners ended 2019 with 40 of the team’s record 67 players being pitchers. Of those players, over 20 are no longer on the 40-man, having been traded to new teams, DFA’d and claimed on waivers, sent to the minors, or cut loose from the team entirely. Here’s an overview of who’s left, who has been added, and who from the minors might push for a roster spot out of spring training.
