One of the biggest free agent fish is now off the market.
Good morning everyone! We’re cooking with gas now. Let’s dig into the latest from the baseball universe.
In Mariners news...
- Luke Arkins at Prospect Insider took a deep dive on Cade Marlowe and the kind of role he could play on the Mariners in 2023.
- Larry Stone at The Seattle Times wrote about the impact that Garylord Perry had to the local baseball scene.
- Congrats to Mariners pitching coordinator Max Weiner on making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list!
So grateful to @Forbes and @ForbesUnder30 to be on their 30under30 list this year. I remember reading about this community while sitting in the old barracks at my military school just hoping any college coach would give me a jersey after graduation… https://t.co/cAjg9IVNFK pic.twitter.com/Qt2Okpk2V3

Around the league...
- The Rangers stunned the baseball universe by agreeing to a five-year deal with ace Jacob deGrom. It seems the Rangers are building a core through free agency, like the Jack Z Mariners did.
- The Diamondbacks and reliever Miguel Castro came together on a one-year contract.
- The Red Sox bolstered their bullpen with a two-year contract with Chris Martin.
- The Padres have reportedly met with shortstop Trea Turner not once, but twice. It’s a curious pursuit for San Diego considering they already have one of the best shortstops in the game on their roster (Fernando Tatis, Jr.)
- Meanwhile, the Phillies have scheduled meetings with each of the top four shortstops in the free agent class.
- Former Astros backstop Jason Castro announced his retirement from the sport.
