The Mariners starting five-man rotation going into what was supposed to be the last two weeks of spring training looked like it was going to be better than we may have expected. Now we don’t know when training camp will resume (though mid-April at the earliest unless something about the virus changes in the meantime).
Marco Gonzales looked like he was on the way to a good beginning for the opening game at home in Seattle on March 26. Yusei Kikuchi worked on his mechanics and could have been ready to be the 2nd starter in fine fashion.
