This afternoon’s Spring Breakout game probably had the majority of Mariners fans’ eyeballs on it, but the big club is winding down Cactus League play, with just three games remaining after tonight. The M’s will face off against the Guardians before opening the season against them on Thursday, although the pitching matchup this evening is quite a ways from Logan Gilbert vs. Tanner Bibee.
Cleveland is rolling out what will likely be their Opening Day lineup, while Seattle is a bit more mix-and-match. Notably, Cole Young is getting the start at shortstop with J.P. Crawford still on the shelf. The M’s also made another round of roster cuts, re-assigning Brennen Davis, Dane Dunning, and World Baseball Classic champion Jhonathan Díaz to minor-league camp. Just four non-roster invitees remain in camp, and Connor Joe, manning first base tonight, is one of them. Bet you didn’t have that on your bingo card.
