Fire up the Hot Stove! It's an important offseason for the Mariners coming off their second straight 90-win season and first return to the playoffs since 2001, so Mariners insider Shannon Drayer and Seattle Sports' Curtis Rogers (both of whom you may know from the Mariners pregame and postgame shows) are here to set the stage. Covered on this episode:

-Mitch Haniger: Are they in or out?
-Could we see a surprise with the pitching?
-Is J.P. Crawford truly locked in at shortstop? (And a wrinkle at second base)
-Two teams to watch this winter that could get in the Mariners' way (not the Astros)
