There's a half-dozen top-100 prospects in the Seattle Mariners farm system, and every one was promised an up-close look during spring training. But now that the focus is starting to shift, it's time to admit that the experiment was kind of a bummer.
Over the weekend, the Mariners reassigned Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan, Michael Arroyo and Jonny Farmelo to minor league camp. This is after they had already reassigned Lazaro Montes on March 11. So out of Seattle's six prospects in MLB Pipeline's top 100, that leaves just Colt Emerson still in camp.
As none of those five players was projected to make the Mariners out of spring training, this was always the inevitable endpoint of their time in Peoria.
