The Mariners' bullpen was an epic failure in 2015 and a major reason for the losing season. General manager Jerry Dipoto brought in numerous relievers looking to bounce back in 2016 after subpar seasons. Will it lead to overall success?

Dipoto has assembled a large group of arms – many looking to bounce back from struggles in 2015 – to fill out his bullpen.
