Good morning from Peoria, Arizona.
It’s officially the first day of spring training for the Seattle Mariners. Pitchers and catchers will have their first workout today. It will also be the first workout for Scott Servais as a big league manager, or really as any sort of manager. As expected, he was quite enthusiastic when he met with the media this morning.
“I’m really excited,” he said. “I think everyone in the building is – players, coaches, the front office upstairs. A lot has gone into getting to this point where we are today. Everybody is anxious to get out there.
