On Sunday, the Mariners announced their 60-man roster for the upcoming season. These 60 players are all eligible to play for Seattle at any point during the 2020 season, though a large portion of them are not likely to suit up for the big league club.
2020, all 60 games of it, will be a season of learning. Of the 60 players of the squad, the club hopes to keep roughly 25 percent of them off the big stage entirely.
“Several of the guys we don’t expect to see at the ML level this year unless it’s an emergency situation,” one source within the front office said.
