The ballot was released on Monday by Major League Baseball, and the Mariners have nine candidates, including Cano, Cruz and third baseman Kyle Seager. Cano is a seven-time All-Star second baseman and was Seattle's lone selection last year, Cruz is a four-time All-Star who is on the ballot at designated hitter again this year and Seager was a 2014 selection at the hot corner.
Rookie right fielder Mitch Haniger put up All-Star-worthy numbers in the opening month of the season, but he's going to spend at least the next three weeks on the disabled list with a strained right oblique.
