The question may soon be whether the Mariners want to keep their top prospect playing there when the regular season begins.

SEATTLE -- It was a slow roller off the bat off Austin Nola, a soft nibbler between the mound and third base in an intrasquad game with no fans in the stands and nothing more than pride at stake. But Taijuan Walker, ignoring the fact he’s returning from a nearly

SEATTLE -- Moments after lighting up the T-Mobile Park radar gun with a 101-mph fastball on Saturday, Mariners reliever Gerson Bautista felt a twinge in his right elbow.

SEATTLE -- It wasn’t quite the way top Mariners pitching prospect Logan Gilbert pictured his first mound appearance at T-Mobile Park. “I imagined there would be more people in the stands,” the 23-year-old right-hander acknowledged. “But it’s still really cool.” Playing in front of empty seats will be the way

SEATTLE -- Kyle Lewis left little doubt about his preparedness at the plate by clubbing two home runs in the Mariners’ six-inning intrasquad opener Friday.

SEATTLE -- The Mariners’ group of elite prospects at Summer Camp has grown by one, as 19-year-old outfielder Julio Rodriguez joined the team for his first formal workout on Friday after missing the initial five days of camp. Rodriguez is Seattle’s No. 2 prospect and No. 18 overall in baseball,

SEATTLE -- The Mariners will open intrasquad games on Friday with an interesting situation in their outfield. The club only has six full-time outfielders in camp and one of those -- 19-year-old prospect Julio Rodriguez -- was just cleared to join the workouts on Thursday. Needing to field two teams

SEATTLE -- There were no fireworks when Kyle Lewis cranked a pair of home runs at T-Mobile Park on Friday, there was no celebratory music and even the normal high-fives from teammates were limited to cautious elbow bumps after he rounded the bases.

SEATTLE -- It’s been four months since they last suited up for a Cactus League game, and it’ll be two more weeks until their abbreviated 60-game regular season kicks off, but the Mariners will finally gear up on the field for some intrasquad competition on Friday at T-Mobile Park. Manager

The time has come to put a wrap on our series taking a closer look at how all 30 farm systems stack up when ranked by position. We’ve already looked at left-handed pitchers, middle infielders, corner infielders and catchers, leaving us with just right-handers left to tackle. Below are our

SEATTLE -- Among the large group of Mariners prospects invited to Summer Camp, the youngest is 18-year-old shortstop Noelvi Marte.

SEATTLE -- Having thrown just one inning in the Majors over the past 25 months since Tommy John surgery, Taijuan Walker didn’t need much debate over whether to pitch in this shortened COVID-19 campaign for the Mariners.

SEATTLE -- The season may be shorter this year, but it won’t be an easy road for the Mariners, as they’ll open their 2020 schedule with a four-game series in Houston against the defending American League champion Astros starting on Friday, July 24, at 6:10 p.m. PT on MLB Network.

SEATTLE -- While MLB’s lengthy shutdown played havoc with most players’ plans for the 2020 season, the late start has worked out perfectly for Mariners reliever Austin Adams.
