Facing the backdrop of an unlikely division title, an extremely soft wild card, and questions about what their budget looks like in the wake of the Leody Taveras debacle, the Mariners must navigate the trade deadline. My latest for SeaTown Sports:
Ah that’s right, Jerry is keeping Dylan Moore on the roster to “make him available”, I almost forgot.
The offense is objectively above-average
The offense is terrible. The Rangers will pass us soon and I wouldn't rule out the Angels doing so too. It's bizarre everyone wants us to buy so bad. This roster mostly stinks.
It’s even crazier now that ohtani’s case was open & shut in like 48hrs when it involved tens of millions of dollars, illegal bookies, & dozens of 6-figure wire transfers, while they’ve been investigating Ortiz for 2 months over 2 pitches & now they’re chasing down his teammates.
BREAKING: Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of MLB's sports-betting investigation, sources tell ESPN. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher on leave tied to the investigation, joining right-hander Luis Ortiz.

MLB getting its mojo back and then having a lockout would be the most MLB thing ever.
This is getting catastrophic quick

Go off, king
Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper stood nose to nose with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during a meeting last week and told him to “get the f--- out of our clubhouse” if he wanted to talk about a salary cap, sources told ESPN. News free and unlocked: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
The SEATTLE MARINERS having the best LF in the American League is completely unprecedented.

Colt Emerson double digit home runs for the first time in his young pro career.
Couldn’t script this if I tried
Man, Ben Williamson gets so much unnecessary hate from Mariners fans. The kid doesn’t hit for power, but is perfectly serviceable as a #9 hitter with plus defense. Sorry our fanbase sucks, Ben.

Did a Mariners pitching prospect get scratched from an autograph session?
Allan Saathoff will now be signing in place of Teddy McGraw.
I’m convinced that this Mariners team is going to land directly on its target (WC 2/3) but never build up any sort of momentum to make it comfortable for us.
