Mariners Moose Tracks, 12/23/18: Rick Rizzs, Ben Gamel, and Mike Fiers
Start your Sunday right.
The Mariners sent Ben Gamel over to the Brewers in exchange for Domingo Santana; however, that deal may not be official yet.
Sounds like Ben Gamel was and still is on a cruise ship when traded by Seattle to #Brewers. Not sure about maritime law. Might not be official until he docks.

We hope Ben enjoys his vacation and we wish him luck in Milwaukee.
