Figuring out bullpen may be Mariners’ key to success in 2020
The Mariners have a lot of areas to improve upon next season, but fixing the bullpen could go a long way to having success in 2020 and beyond.
Despite capping off a six-win road trip with a blown save from Matt Magill yesterday, the Mariners have made great strides in building a respectable bullpen out of a unit that ranked dead last in the league in fWAR for the majority of the season. Even with the departures of Roenis Elías and Hunter Strickland at the deadline, Seattle has seen strong contributions out of the likes of Magill (other than yesterday), Sam Tuivailala, and Matt Wisler.
