What is the story about?
It’s a fresh Monday morning and surely nothing disastrous happened yesterday for the Seattle Mariners? Moving on, to links!
In Mariners news:
- Brendan Donovan’s pre-game plunking has turned into a full trip to the 7-day Concussion IL.
Around the league:
- The Astros have fallen below sea level, and the first bucket bailed included their GM Dana Brown, who has agreed to part ways with the team.
- The Texas Rangers have designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment.
- The Yankees activated OF Cody Bellinger from the 10-day IL and they placed LHP Ryan Weathers on the 15-day IL.
- James Outman is a titular Tiger and is out of their roster with a DFA, and Enmanuel De Jesus has been optioned.
- It can be easy as a fan of a team to have blinders on and focus only on the narratives that have been presented to you, and not see the forest for the trees. Last week, Pete Crow-Armstrong did something amazing, and rare. Then, in the depths of the Mariner’s struggles, against PCA’s team, so did Randy Arozarena do that very rare thing. Matthew Trueblood at North Side Baseball waxed poetic about it in a reminder for greater appreciation of what it means to embrace a protagonist role.
- In an example of proof that what happened in Oakland didn’t need to happen (I’m looking, vehemently, at you John Fisher) the deal for a new stadium for the Rays is nearing a crucial vote, with both sides seemingly operating in good faith.
