Cal Raleigh broke the

trade for Carlos Santana could be huge because Julio Rodríguez clearly loves him. They have an established friendship from working out together in the offseason. M's brought in a proven vet their 21-year-old phenom looks up to.

You know what was pretty cool and seems like a good sign about the

Hope everyone at Climate Pledge tonight has fun. BUT it's pretty offensive the NBA is holding a 2nd preseason game in Seattle in 4 years and again asking fans to prove they deserve a team. We already did this years ago. Quit taking Seattle hoops fans' money & bring the team back.

Josh Rojas had no homers in 59 games this season before he was traded to the

You know, now that the DH is in both leagues,
#Mariners
should ask for realignment. NL West teams (3 in CA + AZ & CO) are so much closer than AL West (2 in CA, 2 in TX, plus WA) and it hurts the M's travel the most. Let the Astros go back to the NL and move the Rockies to the AL.

It's far from an exact 1 to 1 comp, but the way Caballero has burst onto the scene and been the clear best option at 2B for the
