Like it or not, it is an election year in this country. And while that arena battles it out for who can shout the loudest, the group of Mariners utility options are having a bit of a primary season as well.
Thankfully, unlike in the political sphere, actions will carry the day a lot more than words. Seattle entered the spring with a handful of options to crack the 26-man roster as the utility option. Dee Gordon, Sam Hagerty, Tim Lopes, Dylan Moore, and Donnie Walton all entered the spring knowing it was likely that at least 2 of them would make the team and have been jockeying for position over the past 2 weeks.
