| | | 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.''
| | 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.''

*Mariners-Red Sox Preview* ==========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Seattle (68-58) at Boston (56-71), 1:35 p.m. EDT
The Seattle Mariners understand how critical every game can be amid their push to reach the postseason for the first time in 13 years.
With Chris Young trying for a career-high 13th win, the visiting Mariners look to build on a thrilling comeback victory that left the Boston Red Sox in danger of dropping seven straight games Saturday.
Trailing 3-0 in the ninth Friday, Seattle (69-58) scored all its runs with two outs en route to a 5-3 victory. Austin Jackson's two-run double highlighted the inning for the Mariners, who snapped a nine-game skid at Boston (56-72).
"(Manager) Lloyd (McClendon) has said it all along ... 'trust your talents,'" Young told MLB's official website. "'Come out and play the game the right way because you're a good team.' I think we're starting to believe in that."
By improving to 4-3 on a nine-game trip, Seattle also moved one-half game ahead of Detroit for the second wild-card spot in the AL.
"You must win right now and you have to be ready every single day," said All-Star Robinson Cano, who had two hits with an RBI. "It's gone good so far and hopefully we continue playing the same way we've been playing."
A winner of three straight starts, Young (12-6, 3.07 ERA) is 7-2 with a 2.45 ERA in his last 12 outings and has allowed a run and six hits in 12 innings of the last two. He gave up four of those hits over six scoreless innings during an 8-1 win at Detroit on Sunday.
The right-hander is 2-1 with a 4.20 ERA against the Red Sox, but has not faced them since 2007 with San Diego. This will be his second appearance at Fenway Park, his first since 2004 for Texas.
David Ortiz and Yoenis Cespedes are a combined 1 for 11 with four strikeouts against Young, with the only hit an Ortiz homer.
With two hits Friday, Ortiz is 16 for 28 with four homers and nine RBIs in the last eight games.
Cespedes is batting .230 in 19 games since being traded to Boston, but has 16 RBIs after hitting a three-run homer off Felix Hernandez for his fourth with the Red Sox.
Boston's Brandon Workman (1-7, 4.26) has dropped seven straight decisions, including six consecutive starts. He posted a 6.04 ERA during a five-start stretch prior to allowing two runs in seven innings of a 4-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.
Skipping Workman's previous turn in the rotation might prove beneficial for the right-hander going forward.
"Obviously the added rest helped," manager John Farrell told MLB's official website. "I thought his stuff ticked up in terms of action, crispness, velocity."
In his only other start versus Seattle last season, Workman yielded a run and struck out nine in six innings of an 8-2 victory at Fenway.
Cano is batting .339 with 64 RBIs in 80 games at Boston.
Boston's Mike Napoli could return after missing three straight games with back spasms. He's 4 for 7 with a homer against the Mariners in 2014.
