It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and if it’s Super Bowl Sunday, it’s Meet the Links.
I just hope the ribs I’m making turn out well, and both teams lose. Is that too much to ask?
In Mariners news...
- Ryan Divish laid out his expectations for the Mariners opening day roster.
- Legendary ball-knower Tim Kurkjian thinks we’ve only seen a fraction of George Kirby’s greatness.
Around the league...
- Former Mets (and Mariners) pitcher Mike Hampton reminisced on being teammates with Patrick Mahomes’ father and watching a young Mahomes catch fly balls in the Shea Stadium outfield ahead of Mahomes’ attempt at a three-peat tonight.
- Roch Kubatko at MASN did a mailbag yesterday morning, and among the many questions and answers was the revelation that back in December, the Padres called about trading Dylan Cease, but the asking price caused the Orioles to balk.
- The New York Yankees re-signed left-handed reliever Tim Hill to a one-year contract.
- Kevin Kiermaier is joining the Toronto Blue Jays organization as a special assistant.
Nick’s pick...
- Before all of us are force fed an inordinate number of AI ads during today’s Super Bowl, I’d like to make my position on AI as clear as possible. AI is a destructive force of malignant evil designed solely to drive a wedge between all peoples. If you disagree, I have a time share in Miami I’d love to sell you, only $9,000 a minute bro, just trust me. Alan Kluegel at Defector would likely argue I’m being much too lenient.
