We’ve just flipped the calendar to March, and Seattle Mariners fans know two things to be true: 1) The 2024 Mariners look better than last year’s squad. 2) The 2024 Mariners roster is laden with injury-prone players.
I don’t want to make the sloppy comparison that the team’s major additions this off season – The Mitches Garv ‘n Hanny, Luke Raley, Jorge Polanco – are the slightly dented cans found in the discount section of the grocery store. The ones with some cosmetic damage but intact innards, who are purchased for half of their shinier counterparts.
