We are just 3 weeks away from Mariners Opening Day, and today I’m joined by Gary Hill Jr. to break down everything happening at Mariners spring training.

We dive into the biggest storylines so far, including the health of key players like J.P. Crawford and Bryce Miller, the battle for pitching depth, and why Emerson Hancock looks like the next man up. We also talk about top Mariners prospects to watch, including Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan, Colt Emerson, and Jonny Farmelo, plus the hot spring from Brennen Davis.

Gary also shares his thoughts on the new ABS challenge system, what stands out about the World Baseball Classic, and why this 2026 Mariners roster might be the most complete team in franchise history. We also discuss the impact of Brendan Donovan at the top of the lineup, the edge that Josh Naylor brings, and why expectations are as high as they’ve ever been in Seattle.
