Logan Gilbert’s career is moving quickly now, but that wasn’t the case less than a year ago. For five or six weeks, “I had absolutely no energy,” he says. He couldn’t even watch television or read. “I just lay on the living room floor. It was awful.” When he was finally well enough to resume some activity, he had to have surgery to remove a bone spur under his toenail. Mariners Director of Player Development Andy McKay sent over a stack of books, and for the next few weeks Logan alternated reading with Netflix to pass the time, stuck in his Florida home while his fellow draftees got their first tastes of pro ball.
