Jerry Dipoto on Mariners' 22-14 start:

“It's amazing what can happen when a group of players come together and believe in the team. And I think that's what we’re watching. It sounds like a movie or something, but that's the way it's playing.”

Logan Gilbert said Cal Raleigh's new deal makes it more alluring for him to try work out a long-term deal with the Mariners.

And M's management says it's open to another extension for a core player.

Who's next?

First five seasons of Jason Varitek vs first four seasons of Cal Raleigh.

Varitek played home games in a hitter-friendly park.

Raleigh plays his home games in baseball’s most extreme pitcher’s park.

As a young catcher, Dan Wilson arrived on scene and became the missing link for a Mariners team about to take flight.

Thirty years later, the Mariners are banking on him doing it again.

For Kevin Seitzer, getting to know Edgar Martinez has been like discovering a twin brother he never knew existed. “It’s like, holy cow, this is one of the best things I could have ever imagined."

They also have a shared vision for Mariners hitters:

"I think he's going to be one of the best at this game very soon."

Mitch Haniger's offseason goal was to "get strong again" and he's showing flashes of his old self at Mariners spring training. Could he bounce back as at least a part-time DH this season?

Mariners pitching coach Pete Woodworth called this changeup from Andrés Muñoz the single best pitch he’s ever seen.

And it’s the first changeup Muñoz has ever thrown.

Mariners bench coach Manny Acta has been in pro ball for four decades. Never, he said, has he seen a crop of prospect hitters quite like this.

"This is a special group."

The Mariners have a track record of building good (and affordable) bullpens, and they need a strong bounce-back from that group this year.

One name to watch this spring: Young lefty Brandyn Garcia.
