| | | 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.''
| | TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - All winter long, the Blue Jays' primary concern was upgrading the starting pitching. The biggest story in Toronto this spring, though, is the one about the free agent arm that got away.
After months of inaction, the Blue Jays thought they'd landed right-hander Ervin Santana on a one-year deal in early March. But when injury concerns flared up in Atlanta, Santana signed a similar deal with the Braves instead.
''I think it's pretty obvious we were involved, it didn't work out. I'm trying to take the high road here,'' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said after Santana turned him down, saying he'd rather pitch in a spacious National League park than face AL East foes in Toronto's hitter-friendly dome.
Anthopoulos, who'd previously come ''extremely close'' to acquiring a starter through trade, must now start the season with almost the same staff he took north last year. Right-handed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner, will be the opening-day starter again, while left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the third slot.
But none of the other three leading contenders, right-handers Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, and left-hander J.A. Happ, have ever pitched 200 innings, and all three are coming off injuries. Morrow was limited to 10 starts last year by a nerve problem in his forearm, Hutchison hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in 2012, and Happ missed most of 2013 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Happ dimmed his own chances with an awful spring.
Santana, who has topped the 200-inning mark five times, would have given the Blue Jays valuable depth. Without him, there's more chance they'll need starts from touted but untested youngsters like Kyle Drabek, Sean Nolin, and Marcus Stroman.
Still, a confident Dickey insisted Santana would have been more ''bonus'' than ''necessity'' to Toronto. ''I feel like we have what we need,'' he said.

*Mariners-Blue Jays Preview* ============================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Seattle (83-72) at Toronto (78-77), 7:07 p.m. EDT
Excluding Felix Hernandez, the collective performance from Seattle's other starters on this final road trip hasn't helped the Mariners' push for the postseason.
The ace right-hander looks to keep the Mariners from a fourth consecutive defeat Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays.
With eight earned runs over 2 2-3 innings allowed by James Paxton in Monday's 14-4 loss to Toronto, Seattle starters have an 8.33 ERA as the club has been outscored 53-35 while going 3-5 on the 11-game trip. The latest loss left the Mariners (83-73) two games out of the final wild-card spot.
"These type of losses, they're bummers, because you're out of it right from the start," said manager Lloyd McClendon, who doesn't need to remind his players of their situation.
"What are you going to say, that these are the biggest games of the year? They know what's at stake."
While Taijuan Walker has the only victory among Seattle starters on the trip, Hernandez (14-5, 2.07 ERA) gave up three hits and struck out 11 in seven innings of a 3-1 win over the West-champion Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.
Hernandez is 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA in four September starts as he builds his case for a second AL Cy Young Award.
Hernandez, who has struck out a career-high 236, gave up a homer to Jose Bautista, two other hits and fanned eight in seven innings of an 11-1 rout of the Blue Jays (79-77) on Aug. 11.
That's one of two home runs Bautista has hit while going 6 for 19 against Hernandez, whose 4.63 ERA in 12 starts against Toronto is his highest versus any opponent he's faced more than once.
Bautista connected for his 35th home run and reached base four times while going 3 for 3 with two RBIs on Monday.
Batting .375 during a 12-game hitting streak against the Mariners, Bautista is 7 for 15 with three homers, six RBIs and nine runs scored in the last five contests overall.
Looking at the first of possibly two starts this week, R.A. Dickey (13-12, 3.82) is 4-0 in his last six outings and has a 2.45 ERA in the last five.
In Thursday's 3-2 defeat to the New York Yankees, the right-hander gave up two runs over six to top 200 innings for a fourth straight season.
"It means that you've been consistent," Dickey told MLB's official website. "And that's a goal that, at the beginning of every year, that I hope for - to be trustworthy and consistent."
He gave up a two-run homer to Kendrys Morales in six innings of a 2-0 loss at Seattle on Aug. 13.
Kyle Seager is 1 for 9 versus Dickey but homered and had two RBIs on Monday.
Robinson Cano, who also drove in a run in the series opener, is batting .415 in his last 18 games at Rogers Centre.
