  "account": "The Arizona Fall League, an opportunity for teams to develop prospects who missed regular-season time due to injury or are undergoing a position change, is set to commence on October 3 and conclude on November 14. This year, the Seattle Mariners are sending eight prospects to the league, including catcher Boston Smith, right-handed pitchers Ty Cummings and Reid Easterly, infielders Brandon Eike and Matthew Ellis, and outfielders Jose Geraldo and Calvin Schapira. The unique aspect of the Fall League is that every team participates, providing a rare opportunity to observe players from Grapefruit League teams. The Mariners, playing as the Peoria Javelinas, will be joined by the Padres, Reds, Orioles, and Cardinals. While attending the league is highly recommended for its unique experience and ability to interact with players, those unable to attend can still catch the games on MLB.com.",
