While a couple final roster moves have yet to be made, the Seattle Mariners 26-man roster for Opening Day is now set. Infielder Dylan Moore (oblique strain) and outfielder Taylor Trammell (broken hand) will be placed on the 10-day injured list as the final moves to set the squad. There were very few actual roster battles during spring training as the team's lineup penciled out rather easily coming off of last year's ALDS squad. The injuries to Moore and Trammell did change the calculus somewhat.

Let's break down each team and digest the American League West futures.
