Mariners insider Shannon Drayer provided details to 710 ESPN Seattle's John Clayton on two young players who have turned heads at the plate during spring training in Arizona.

The Mariners made a round of roster moves Tuesday, including a surprise in optioning Braden Bishop to Triple-A. Shannon Drayer breaks down what it means.

Taijuan Walker made his spring training debut for the Mariners Tuesday, and said it "felt normal again" after a long recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Mariners catcher Austin Nola spent eight years in the minor leagues before finally breaking through last year. Now the M's have big plans for him in 2020.

Mariners left-hander Justus Sheffield tried out something new with his fastball in a spring training start Sunday, and the results were stellar.

One aspect of the Mariners' rebuild began in the minors in 2016, and it has now arrived in the majors with players who have come through the farm system.

The battle for bullpen spots is heating up and multiple Mariners relievers are making strong cases to make the MLB roster out of spring training.

Mariners IF Patrick Wisdom is one of many new faces, but he has some familiarity, especially with his former rival and current teammate Marco Gonzales.

The younger, inexperienced Mariners also have some speed, which manager Scott Servais expects to utilize more during the 2020 season.

Logan Gilbert is the Mariners' top pitching prospect and someone who seems unphased by his rapid rise through the farm system.
