After a week at Mariners spring training in the Valley of the (non-existent) Sun , Larry Stone has eight takeaways on a ball club that many won't recognize come Opening Day. From the hungry youngsters to the veterans on the comeback trail, the 2019 Mariners promise to at least be an interesting watch.
There’s no such thing as a bad spring-training experience – though the miserable, chilly weather during my entire stay in Arizona this year seemed to be working hard to change that opinion.
Some years are more interesting than others, however. And I would put the 2019 Mariners camp in that category.
