“It’s easy to talk about it, but you get players’ attention if you hold yourselves accountable to it and you track it,” Servais said. “And we track it daily, and we remind our players about it daily. And not just players, coaches, everybody within the organization, we track it from the first time they put a Mariner uniform on until they get here and play in the big leagues for a while. It’s that important. And that isn’t ever going to change. That’s who we are. That’s our foundation.
