Seattle Mariners
With the Mariners opting to have Bryce Miller pitch in a simulated game at the team complex in Peoria instead of facing a division rival, it meant manager Scott Servais would roll out several relievers to cover the nine innings. Thanks to a four-run top of the first inning, highlighted by Dom Canzone's two-run homer off Rangers starter Adrian Sampson, Tyson Miller had a nice little cushion before even throwing a pitch.

It's not quite the first chill of the air you feel in late summer – although it has been cool in Peoria the last few days – but there has been the unmistakable feel of a shift for the Seattle Mariners to bigger games on the near horizon. “It's not as much of experimenting anymore,” said Logan Gilbert, who threw five innings Sunday of three-hit, seven-strikeout ball against a split-squad Diamondbacks team. “There's a little bit of a place for that in spring training but now it is mostly about working ahead in counts, simulating how you are going to sequence guys in a game and making sure I can do that well.”

Making his penultimate start of spring training, Logan Gilbert wanted to treat the outing as if it was the regular season — no tinkering, no focusing on any one pitch, just get hitters out. Gilbert tossed five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. Putting up zeros felt really great, but getting ahead first pitch and getting two strikes really quickly. While he didn't go full offseason implementation like he did with the splitter a year ago, he had been tinkering with a two-seam fastball and a cut fastball during his throwing sessions.

Blake Walston Struggles and Rallies vs Mariners The young left-hander had a rough beginning to his outing.

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais made the rounds this offseason to visit some of his players, and perhaps the top name on his list of people to see with was superstar center fielder Julio Rodríguez.

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford firmly established himself as one of the best players in baseball last year, especially at his position. The 29-year-old infielder had a career year, slashing .266/.380/.438 (.818 OPS) with a career-high 19 home runs and an American League-leading 94 walks. Crawford was a first-round draft pick in 2013 by the Philadelphia Phillies out of high school, and he quickly became one of baseball's top prospects and made his MLB debut in 2017 at 22 years old. In parts of two seasons for the Phillies, Crawford struggled to the tune of a .692 OPS in 72 games and he was traded to Seattle after the 2018 season.

There's a veteran ballplayer who reports to the Mariners' spring-training complex each morning and takes his usual place in the outfield grass on Practice Field 1.

At 71 years old, Merkley is past his peak playing days, and two years removed from surgery to treat bone cancer in his left forearm.

Jorge Polanco, one of the key Seattle Mariners' additions this offseason, has been having a nice spring training in Arizona. Through 10 appearances in Cactus League play, the veteran infielder is 8 for 20 (.400) with two homers, a double, four walks, five runs scored and eight RBIs. Acquired via a trade in late January from Minnesota for four players, the 30-year-old switch-hitter appears to be fitting right in with his team after spending a decade with the Twins. May and Polanco both debuted in the big leagues with the Twins in 2014 and played the next six seasons together, and May had a glowing assessment of the new Mariners second baseman when he joined Seattle Sports' Bump and Stacy in studio Wednesday.
