We are just past the two-year mark in the Mariners rebuild (or as Jerry Dipoto calls it, re-tool) which started following the 2018 campaign, and things are trending upwards. The organization has two of the top fifteen prospects in baseball in Jarred Kelenic<\/strong> and Julio Rodriguez<\/strong> (some would argue top ten) and six or seven in the top 100, depending upon who you are asking. For the third straight year, the Mariners have taken a pitcher with their first-round draft pick as they look to solidify their major league rotation for years to come.<\/p>\n

Clearly, it is not ideal to have the minor league baseball season cancelled during the first year and a half of a rebuild and we are certain to see the ramifications of this for the Mariners and the rest of baseball in 2021. With only 60 players allowed on each of the taxi squads during the regular season, the rest of baseball\u2019s systems were left to work out on their own. How each system handled that will play a role in the success they have over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n
