KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: 2016: 93-69, first place
Manager: John Farrell (fifth season)
Who's new? LHP Chris Sale, RHP Tyler Thornburg, 1B Mitch Moreland, OF Steve Selsky
Who's gone? DH David Ortiz, 3B Travis Shaw, 3B Yoan Moncada, 2B Aaron Hill, C Ryan Hanigan, RHP Clay Buchholz, RHP Junichi Tazawa, RHP Koji Uehara, RHP Brad Ziegler
Projected lineup: 2B Dustin Pedroia (.318, 15 HR, 74 RBI), LF Andrew Benintendi (.295, 2, 14 in 34 games), SS Xander Bogaerts (.294, 21, 89, 13 SB), RH Mookie Betts (.318, 31, 113), DH Hanley Ramirez (.286, 30, 111) CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (.267, 26, 87), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.000, 0, 0 in three games), 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22, 60 with Rangers), C Sandy Leon (.310, 7, 35) or Christian Vazquez (.224, 1, 12)
Rotation: LH Chris Sale (17-10, 3.34 ERA), RH Rick Porcello (22-4, 3.15), RH Steven Wright (13-6, 3.33), LH Drew Pomeranz (3-5, 4.59), LH Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7, 4.71)
Key relievers: RH Craig Kimbrel (2-6, 3.40, 31/33 SV), RH Tyler Thornburg (8-5, 2.15 with Brewers), RH Joe Kelly (4-0, 5.18), LH Robbie Ross (3-2, 3.25), RH Matt Barnes (4-3, 4.05), LH Fernando Abad (1-6, 3.66 with Twins and Red Sox), RH Heath Hembree (4-1, 2.65)
Hot spots: Third base. Is this the year Sandoval is known more for his ability to play baseball than his physique? Sandoval, who missed all but three games last year because of a shoulder injury, showed up to spring training looking slimmer than years past. His production at the plate and agility on the field followed suit in the Grapefruit League. The Red Sox have shown they aren't afraid to take playing time away from the Panda if he doesn't deserve it. Josh Rutledge, a competent fielder and perhaps a better hitter against left-handers, is around just in case.
Outlook: Boston scored more runs than any team in baseball last year, and this year's club has the pitching to avoid another early playoff exit. Newcomer Sale is the best left-hander in the AL, an ace in his prime. Porcello is the reigning Cy Young Award winner. David Price, when he returns from an elbow injury, gives the Red Sox arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league. Ortiz retired, but he'll leave a bigger hole in the hearts of fans than in the lineup. Benintendi is a candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, while Betts played like an MVP at age 23. A bounceback season from Sandoval would give opposing pitchers no chance to breathe. Triple-A depth shouldn't be enough of an issue to prevent the Sox from challenging the Indians for the pennant.
SEATTLE: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Scott Servais (second season)
Who's new? LF Jarrod Dyson, SS Jean Segura, IF Danny Valencia, RF Mitch Haniger, C Carlos Ruiz, C Tuffy Gosewich, RHP Yovani Gallardo, LHP Drew Smyly, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Casey Fien, RHP Chris Heston
Who's gone? OF Seth Smith, SS Ketel Marte, C Chris Iannetta, OF Nori Aoki, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Nathan Karns, LHP Vidal Nuno, LHP David Rollins, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen
Projected lineup: LF Jarrod Dyson (.278, 1 HR, 25 RBI, 30 SB with Royals), SS Jean Segura (.319, 20, 64, 33 with Diamondbacks), 2B Robinson Cano (.298, 39, 103), DH Nelson Cruz (.287, 43, 105), 3B Kyle Seager (.278, 30, 99), C Mike Zunino (.207, 12, 31), 1B Danny Valencia (.287, 17, 51 with A's), RF Mitch Haniger (.229, 5, 17 in 34 games with Diamondbacks), CF Leonys Martin (.247, 15, 47, 24 SB)
Rotation: RH Felix Hernandez (11-8, 3.82), RH Hisashi Iwakuma (16-12, 4.12), LH James Paxton (6-7, 3.79), RH Yovani Gallardo (6-8, 5.42 with Orioles), LH Drew Smyly (7-12, 4.88 with Rays)
Key relievers: RH Steve Cishek (4-6, 2.81, 25/32 SV), RH Edwin Diaz (0-4, 2.79, 18/21), RH Nick Vincent (4-4, 3.73), RH Evan Scribner (0-0, 0.00 in 12 games), LH Marc Rzepczynski (1-0, 2.64 with A's and Nationals), RH Casey Fien (1-1, 5.49 with Twins and Dodgers)
Hot spots: First base and right field. Veteran Valencia has the first baseman's job for now, but Dan Vogelbach is the heir apparent who will begin the season at Triple-A. Vogelbach, 24, slimmed down this offseason ' a necessity when you're 6 feet tall, weigh 250 pounds and expect to play your first full major league season ' and might have more weight to lose. Valencia, 32, has never been a full-time first baseman in seven seasons. Haniger is known more for his glove than his bat, but he struggled (.713 OPS) in limited time at a hitter-friendly park in Arizona last year. Safeco Field won't be as kind. Cruz will play right field if Haniger doesn't.
Outlook: General Manager Jerry Dipoto has paired a staff of fly-ball pitchers with three rangy outfielders, an exercise in team-building he once tried with the Angels. Dipoto caused a stir by executing 40 roster transactions during the offseason, but is it possible he didn't do enough? Haniger has never been atop a major league depth chart. Pitchers Gallardo and Smyly are coming off shaky seasons in Baltimore and Tampa Bay, respectively. On paper, the Mariners look like a top-heavy team without much help in the minors if the bottom falls out. That was the case for Dipoto with the Angels too, and sometimes it worked out OK. More often it didn't.
PREVIEW
Newcomers fill utility roles for M's, Red Sox
 

SEATTLE -- Danny Espinosa was ready to enjoy his first weekend off since February, about to take his wife, Sara, and 10-month-old son, Ty, to Disneyland.

Then work called.

The 30-year-old infielder, who was released last week by the Los Angeles Angels, got word Saturday that the Seattle Mariners were going to sign him.

"We still went," Espinosa said of his weekend plans, "and turned it into a celebration."

Espinosa made his debut for the Mariners as a pinch runner Tuesday night and stayed in to play first base against the Boston Red Sox. Seattle won 6-5 in 13 innings.

During the game, the Red Sox picked up a utility man, too, acquiring Eduardo Nunez from the San Francisco Giants.

Seattle manager Scott Servais said there is a chance Espinosa will be in the lineup Wednesday afternoon when the Mariners look to sweep a three-game series against the Red Sox and left-hander Chris Sale (12-4, 2.48 ERA).

Espinosa had career highs in home runs (24) and RBIs (72) last season while playing shortstop for the Washington Nationals.

An offseason trade sent Espinosa, who grew up in Santa Ana, Calif., just a few miles from Angel Stadium, back to his hometown team.

However, he struggled with the Angels, batting .162 with six home runs and 29 RBIs in 77 games before being released.

"A lot didn't work there," said Espinosa, who was platooned at second base for the first time in his career.

With the Mariners, Espinosa will fill what he called a "designated off-the-bench whatever" role.

"I just want to come in and do the job wherever they need me to do it and help in the push for the playoffs," Espinosa said. "I know my role is going to be give guys a day off and come in late (in games)."

Servais said Espinosa could see time at any of the infield positions. The eight-year veteran also has played five games in his career in left field.

"He hasn't been having a good year, but sometimes a change of scenery and different (coaches') eyes can help," Servais said.

Servais is known for giving players a heads-up in advance when and where they are going to start.

"That's huge," Espinosa said. "If you know you're going to play, you can get ready mentally, zoning in on the guys you're going to face."

Even with preparation, facing Sale, who leads the American League in wins, ERA and strikeouts (200) is no easy task. The AL's All-Star Game starter is having perhaps his best stretch of the season, not allowing a run in either of his past two starts and three of his past four.

In nine career appearances against the Mariners, including seven starts, Sale is 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA. He has three complete games against Seattle, the most against any opponent.

Red Sox manager John Farrell was asked what he has learned about Sale in the half-season he has spent with him since the ace was acquired in an offseason trade with the Chicago White Sox.

"The competitor that he is," Farrell said. "He's going to compete whether it's a team function or he's playing ping-pong. ... He's been a model of consistency in every aspect."

The Mariners are set to start rookie right-hander Andrew Moore, who will face the Red Sox for the first time.

In his last start, against the New York Yankees and CC Sabathia on Friday, Moore took the loss, allowing five runs on nine hits in six innings of a 5-1 defeat.

Moore (1-2, 5.70 ERA) said he tries to not worry about who he is facing, but he admitted with Sale on the mound, it will be difficult to ignore.

"Given his track record ... it'll be a fun challenge. I'm looking forward to it," Moore said. "You can't put added pressure on yourself by looking at the scoreboard or anything like that. You just have to try to stick with the game plan."

Moore might need to figure out a plan to stop Nunez. The 30-year-old veteran was acquired from the Giants in exchange for minor league pitchers Shaun Anderson and Gregory Santos.

Nunez was serving as the Giants' regular third baseman, and he hit .308 with four homers and 31 RBIs in 76 games for San Francisco this year. For Boston, he could share time at third with newly promoted Rafael Devers, but he also could see action at shortstop, second base and the outfield corners.

Devers, 20, went 0-for-4 with two walks in his major league debut Tuesday.
