With pitchers and catchers scheduled to report to spring training Feb. 12 and position players reporting five days later, the Mariners released a list of players not on their 40-man roster receiving invitations to major-league spring training.
The preliminary list features 21 players, headlined by three of their top prospects in the organization. But it’s expected the Mariners will add to it in the coming days and weeks with some additional signings, possibly a starting pitcher and reliever.
Outfielders Jarred Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez and right-handed pitcher Logan Gilbert — Seattle’s Nos. 1, 2 and 3 prospects per MLB Pipeline, respectively, will be in their first big-league camp.
