＞＞Passan quoted unnamed sources Saturday saying the Mariners have asked some of their current players to clear their schedules Tuesday through Friday to potentially be able to meet with Ohtani in L.A., and it’s believed some former players have indicated a willingness to help. One player who doesn’t appear in position to aid the recruiting process is All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano, who is currently in Israel on vacation, according to his Instagram account.
