Today is the day! Finally, after a long, wet and cold winter here in Seattle, the Mariners are beginning to gather in Peoria, Arizona, where it is quite assuredly warmer and far more sunny than it is here as I’m posting this. We still have a long way before the game starts, but just knowing it’s coming together is enough for right now. Full squad starts next week, but today, pitchers and catchers are back!
Roenis Elias is Boston’s problem now, but there was a point where he was starting games here in Seattle.
