| |  | 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.''
| | BALTIMORE: BALTIMORE (AP) - The transformation of the Baltimore Orioles clubhouse under manager Buck Showalter is complete.
No longer do the Orioles hope to win. They expect it.
When Showalter took over in July 2010, he inherited a team with the worst record in the majors. Having gone without a winning season since 1997, Baltimore could only hope Showalter's knack for orchestrating quick turnarounds would take hold in a town that had switched its allegiance from baseball to football.
By 2012, the Orioles were back. Baltimore won 93 games, beat Texas in the wild-card matchup and took the New York Yankees to the limit before falling in the AL division series.
After missing the postseason last year, the Orioles are poised for a return. They maintained the nucleus of a team that went 85-77 and was in contention to the final week, then added right-handed starter Ubaldo Jimenez and slugger Nelson Cruz to an already potent lineup that led the majors in home runs in 2013.
''When you have talent, you have confidence,'' right fielder Nick Markakis said. ''Put them together and good things usually happen. We've got that right now. We know we have a good team and we're going to roll with it.''
Although Jimenez and Cruz didn't come aboard until after the start of spring training, Showalter never wavered in his belief that the Orioles would challenge the defending champion Boston Red Sox and retooled Yankees in the AL East.
''I felt that way whether or not we added Nelson and Jimenez,'' he said. ''That's a poor reflection on me and my staff if we thought we needed more to win.''

*Mariners-Orioles Preview* ==========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Seattle (56-52) at Baltimore (60-47), 7:05 p.m. EDT
A pair of trades have the Seattle Mariners aiming for the postseason, while the Baltimore Orioles hope one move bolstered their chances for the AL East title.
The Mariners are expected to have Austin Jackson and Chris Denorfia in the lineup Friday night when they open a three-game set with the Orioles, who will have Andrew Miller in the bullpen.
Seattle (56-52) got a two-run homer from Mike Zunino in the eighth inning Thursday to win 6-5 at Cleveland, remaining three games behind Toronto for the AL's second wild-card spot.
The Mariners feel they improved their odds at closing that gap, acquiring Jackson and Denorfia in separate deals before Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline.
"We were looking for right-handed bats," general manager Jack Zduriencik told MLB's official website. "Now we've got a leadoff pure center fielder (in Jackson) and that's going to help a lot, and Denorfia has really good numbers against left-handed pitching.
"He's a tough kid that's been through the playoffs and knows it. Same thing with Austin Jackson, he's been there, done that. So bringing the veteran experience to the ballclub at this time of the year was a really important factor."
Jackson was hitting .388 with eight doubles and 15 runs over his last 19 games with Detroit, and manager Lloyd McClendon is well aware of his capabilities after spending eight years as the Tigers' hitting coach.
"He's good on top of the order, he steals bases, and he's a veteran hitter," McClendon said.
Denorfia was batting .242 for San Diego this year, but he's a career .301 hitter versus lefties.
Seattle is hoping that pays immediate dividends, as southpaw Wei-Yin Chen (11-3, 3.92 ERA) gets the ball for Baltimore (60-47).
He's facing the Mariners for the second straight start, and his last one was among the best of his three-year career. He didn't allow a runner to reach second base after the first inning and left after the eighth of a 4-0 win at Seattle on July 24.
"Probably the best I've seen (Chen) in a really long time," catcher Caleb Joseph told MLB's official website.
After seeing Chen throw a season-high 109 pitches, though, manager Buck Showalter opted to give him a few extra days between starts.
"Wei-Yin had his top pitch count of the year and I want to keep guys on turn," Showalter said.
Chen has won a personal-best four starts in a row behind a 2.92 ERA.
Miller will be available to relieve him after being acquired from Boston for pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez on Thursday. The left-hander has a 2.34 ERA on the season and joins a bullpen that's allowed three runs in 26 1-3 innings during a 5-2 stretch.
"He gives us more depth down there, keep passing the load around," Showalter said. "I think he's a little more than just a left-handed arm. You look at left-handed relievers, the ideal ones are the guys that you've got left-right-left and you can leave them in there for the right."
Baltimore, which won three of four in Seattle last week, is atop the East by 1 1/2 games on the second-place Blue Jays.
Each of the Orioles' last six games have been decided by one run, including Thursday's 1-0, 13-inning defeat to the Los Angeles Angels.
They'll try to get their offense back on track against Roenis Elias (8-8, 4.31), who allowed one run with six strikeouts in five innings of a 3-2 win in 10 over Baltimore on Sunday.
The left-hander was limited to 85 pitches, however, after cramping in his forearm forced him to exit a 5-2 win over the New York Mets six days earlier. He yielded one run with eight strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings that day, ending a personal three-game losing streak that included a 10.05 ERA.
