Good morning friends...Happy Independence Day! The Mariners might be playing badly but at least we have some baseball news.
In Mariners news...
- The Mariners are ending the bullpen transition for Double-A starting pitching prospect Logan Evans, perhaps signaling their intentions to prepare to trade from their starting pitching depth this month.
- While we get excited for all eight Mariners prospects to appear on the BA top 100, let’s not forget about this guy, who might win a Gold Glove at the hot corner one day.
