In keeping with a semi-grand tradition here at LL, we are pleased to present you with our 2018 Mariners Off-Season Plan, a series of steps we think the team needs to take forward in order to contend in 2018 and beyond. In case you missed the first installments, start off by reading Part One of this series, which focuses on Step One: Upgrade Starting Pitching, and then move on to Part Two, which contends with the holes in the starting lineup at first base and in the outfield (Steps Two and Three). We also lay the groundwork for the series there by establishing the assumptions we’re working under regarding how many wins the Mariners need to add to contend for the playoffs, payroll, how the Mariners will treat their top-level prospect capital, and this front office’s general approach towards contending rather than rebuilding.
