The 2020 Seattle Mariners got worse last week with the announcement that Mitch Haniger had another surgery that will likely cause him to miss a significant portion of the 2020 season. We don’t know how long that actually means, but it is difficult to feel too good about seeing Haniger before the end of June.
But while the team is worse without Haniger, Seattle isn’t trying to sell anybody on the idea that they’ll be trying to squeeze every last win out of this roster. Wins aren’t the goal of 2020, at least not in the first 3 months of the season.
