Seattle Mariners fans can finally exhale. Their team has done it.
While the Mariners' playoff spot is assured, their position is still up in the air. Seattle currently sits in the second wild-card slot, a half-game up on the Tampa Bay Rays and 1.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jay.
For years, the team's youth movement had looked promising. Big-time prospects like Julio Rodriguez, Jarred Kelenic, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby all made top 100 lists in 2020 or 2021, but that did not guarantee stardom. The 21-year-old outfielder is a mortal lock to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award for a season in which he's hitting .280/.342/.502 with 27 homers, 25 RBI and solid defense in center field. That's future superstar stuff at that age, though Rodriguez is currently sidelined with a back injury.
