| |  | BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''
| | SEATTLE: SEATTLE (AP) - Robinson Cano was just the start. The Seattle Mariners didn't stop with one major splash in trying to catch up with the best in the AL West.
Even so, there remain many questions about whether Seattle's additions as a whole can improve a team coming off a 71-win season.
The moves made by Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik were in hopes of improving the Mariners and solidifying his own future after a shaky offseason that started with Eric Wedge's decision not to return as manager.
Lloyd McClendon is getting his second shot as a major league manager nine years after he was last leading a club in Pittsburgh. Along with Cano, Seattle signed outfielder Corey Hart, closer Fernando Rodney and traded for designated hitter Logan Morrison.
Despite those moves, there remain concerns about the depth of Seattle's rotation beyond ace Felix Hernandez and whether players the Mariners have been waiting for to finally pop can establish themselves as reliable, everyday starters.
Yet the Mariners believe they will be competitive in one of baseball's toughest divisions.
''We're ready to win. That's what it's all about,'' Hernandez said. ''We're ready to win ballgames in Seattle. We're ready to be in the playoffs, we're ready to do that.''

*Red Sox-Mariners Preview* ==========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Boston (34-41) at Seattle (39-36), 10:10 p.m. EDT
Though Seattle's Felix Hernandez has received little run support of late, he's pitched extremely well over the last month.
The right-hander has been just as tough on the Boston Red Sox in recent years.
Looking for another strong performance overall and against the reigning World Series champions, Hernandez tries to help the streaking Mariners avoid a seventh consecutive defeat to the visiting Red Sox on Monday night.
Hernandez (8-2, 2.22 ERA) is 4-1 with a 1.33 ERA and 62 strikeouts in his last seven starts. However, Seattle (40-36) has scored one run while he's been on the mound yielding two runs, 11 hits and striking out 31 in 22 1-3 innings to go 0-1 in his last three outings. He gave up a run and three hits while striking out 10 without a walk over seven innings of a 2-1 loss at San Diego on Wednesday.
"I don't care if I get the decision," Hernandez told the Mariners' official website. "It's not about winning for me, just as a team."
Though Hernandez has allowed one run or none while pitching seven or more innings and not factoring in the decision 28 times, manager Lloyd McClendon won't feel sorry for his ace.
"Every time we don't score runs for Felix, we can't say it's a tough game for Felix," McClendon said. "It's a tough game for the Seattle Mariners."
The Mariners have scored 18 runs with their ace on the mound while he's gone 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in his last three starts versus Boston (35-41).
He's allowed a run each while totaling 25 innings in winning two of his last three home starts overall, and has a 2.35 ERA during a three-start winning streak against the Red Sox at Safeco Field. Hernandez gave up two runs in seven innings of an 11-4 home win in the teams' first meeting last season, but Boston averaged 8.5 runs while winning the next six in a row.
David Ortiz is batting .323 with a home run against Hernandez, and homered in the 10th inning of Sunday's 7-6 victory that helped Boston avoid being swept in a four-game set at Oakland.
"I like to go out there and make things happen," said Ortiz, who went 8 for 13 with three doubles, two homers and four RBIs at Seattle last season.
Teammate Mike Napoli, who also homered and stole home Sunday, is 6 for 36 (.167) with two doubles, a home run and 14 strikeouts versus Hernandez.
Looking for a fourth straight win overall and at home, the Mariners swept a three-game road set from a Kansas City team that began that series atop the AL Central. Roenis Elias pitched 6 2-3 strong innings Sunday during Seattle's second straight 2-1 victory.
"It shows what we're able to do when we play well," said veteran Willie Bloomquist, who is batting .375 with nine RBIs in his last 14 games.
A career .308 hitter versus Boston, Robinson Cano faces the Red Sox for the first time since leaving the rival Yankees. He's hit .379 (11 for 29) with five doubles since 2010 against Boston's John Lackey (8-4, 2.96 ERA), who is 3-1 with a 1.60 ERA in his last six starts.
The right-hander allowed three hits and struck out nine over nine scoreless innings of a 2-1, 10-inning win over Minnesota on Wednesday.
Lackey is 6-0 with a 2.01 ERA in his last seven starts at Seattle, though he has not pitched there since 2011.
