“We’re built on pitching and defense and that will never change because that’s how you win. Hopefully you add the right offensive pieces to be more consistent which I believe we have done,” - Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais. MLB.COM photo

PEORIA, Arizona - Coming off a 90-win season in 2022 which saw the Seattle Mariners snap a 20-year playoff drought, expectations were high that the club could take the next step in 2023.

Unfortunately, the Mariners regressed to 88 wins and missed out on a wildcard spot by a couple of games.

If Seattle is to return to the American League playoffs in 2024, they’ll have to do so with a roster that’s seen some major changes.
