The Mariners certainly uh….played a spring training game yesterday, tying the Royals 8-8. It’s still that period of Cactus League play where almost literally nothing that happens matters and only like 30% (don’t quote me on that) of at-bats taken or pitches thrown are by people who will meaningfully contribute to the MLB team in 2026. However, my intrigue for Brennen Davis continues to grow with each passing day.
Davis, in case you’ve forgotten, was a top prospect for the Cubs who never quite broke through — though he’s young enough that he still could. That’s got me thinking: what Mariners prospect of the last 20 years do you really wish had panned out the way they were supposed to, if you could only pick one?
