We can already start smelling the freshly cut grass and freshly packed snuff cans. 

Believe it or not, baseball really is right around the corner. After a troubling 2015 season, the new brass in town hope to make a quick turnaround of a talented Mariner squad.

It was clear to all that the Mariners underperformed. New GM Jerry Dipoto has set forth his blueprint and acted on it. He has had many holes to bkug in the sinking Mariner vessell, but has done admirable. New head coach Scott Servais hopes to get the most from the talented veterans while helping to coach up the younger talents.

Here is what is in store for 2016... both from a talent standpoint and schedule:
