After a one-year absence due to the spread of COVID-19, minor-league baseball will finally return to action in parks across the country next week.

The 2021 season will be the first season under the ownership of Major League Baseball with a realignment and reduction to just 120 full-season affiliates — four per organization.

The Mariners, who have the No. 2 overall farm system in baseball per Baseball America, released the rosters for their 2021 affiliates — Class AAA Tacoma, Class AA Arkansas, High-A Everett and Low-A Modesto.

As expected top pitching prospect Logan Gilbert and touted outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic are on Tacoma’s roster, meaning they are just a drive away from the big leagues for their MLB debuts.

Julio Rodriguez, the Mariners’ other prized prospect, headlines a loaded AquaSox team that also features the organization’s last two first-round draft picks — pitchers George Kirby (2019) and Emerson Hancock (2020) along with several other regarded pitching prospects.

All four affiliates will allow fans to attend home games with a reduced capacity and social distancing protocols.
