Mariners 2020 draft preview: 1B Spencer Torkelson

The Mariners have yet to repeat their dismal .250 winning percentage in May, but nevertheless seem to have punched their ticket to a bottom-ten finish in the 2019 standings. This is bad news for people who like good baseball, but does have the thinnest veneer of a silver lining if you love the idea of getting a top-ten talent in the 2020 draft. The 2020 draft promises to be much deeper than 2019’s, which was regarded by many experts as one of the thinnest in recent memory. While much can, and will, change between now and draft day, it’s worth keeping some names in mind to monitor leading up to the draft.
