It's been a year and a half since @MarinersPup was adopted. He's been able to handle a high-traffic environment, which is why Spring Training is his favorite. Above all, he's brought joy to the clubhouse. "He's kind of just become a part of who we are." mlb.com/mariners/news/…
Before and after. I’m excited to see it in action and hear what the players think. This field is 🔥!

Mitch Haniger sold his Seattle home just before returning via trade. Why not earlier? Cal Raleigh and others resided there last year, which speaks to the relationships Haniger built, even if he’d never play with them again. “It’s like I never left.” mlb.com/mariners/news/…
