Where will the 2020 Seattle Mariners rank in the AL West?
Many of you are probably thinking two straight years in the cellar as the clear answer to this question. But remember how often divisions can flip-flop each year. Take the occasional teams who have gone from worst to first. Staying on realistic terms here, you’re on your own planet if you think the Mariners will go worst to first.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the team will finish in last place next season. First off, divisions are obviously luck of the draw. The Mariners wouldn’t have finished at the bottom if they had been in the same division as the lowly Tigers and Royals. The Mariners had some brief fun but for the rest of the season, the AL West looked fairly tough.
