Spring Training Thread!!!

RHP Mauricio Llovera has been outrighted. That brings the 40 man roster down to 39. Curious to see who is moved into replace him.

Kind of an interesting move. Looking through the pile, it would seem Tyson Miller, Jordan Holloway, and Casey Lawrence are the obvious internal candidates. I wouldn't rule out a trade or free agent signing, though I'm not sure who's still out there among relief types.

OD pen
Munoz
Stanek
Sauce
Speier
Thorton
Voth
Miller
Lawrence or Buttrey

Yeah, so Miller, Holloway, Lawrence, and Buttrey for the bottom two slots. They'll need one more 40-man slot so probably Collin Snider or Levi Stoudt gets outrighted unless someone gets injured that they can move to the 60-day.

Way snider has pitched they can move him thru waiver or no big loss

I think the front office has to be pretty nervous right now about the bottom half of the bullpen.

Happy to hear Servais acknowledge that the games in April and May matter.

About the 30 second mark:

Rumor mill now is Astros pursuing Snell. If it is true or happens I wonder if Ms do anything or if Jerry stands pat.

[Donn Beach]

They aren't going to respond to what the Astros do

Another opinion

On Thursday, MLB insider for the New York Post Jon Heyman spoke about Snell on a Bleacher Report live stream, and said he believes it's pretty much down to two teams: The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels. He doesn't mention the New York Yankees, who are waiting final confirmation on Gerrit Cole's injury.

I thought the yanks had an offer on the table for snell. Evidently they pulled it. They should suck this yr

Polonco and Haniger hitting are very encouraging. Garver as well. Still need a 3B and LF to emerge

I hope the Mariners are paying attention to Michael Papierski and considering him for the backup catcher role over Seby. But assuming Seby is on the opening day roster, Papierski might be the best catcher option we've had in a while in Tacoma.

He looked great today. Had a great at bat and then threw out a runner at second… very impressive for how young he is……..
