The Loving Lumberjack | Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports After a rough trial run, Fraley looks to bounce back in a big way in 2020 The second piece of the Mariners’ first big trade last offseason, signaling the firesale that would ensue, Jake Fraley had an up and down 2019 season. While his trade counterpart, Mallex Smith, would slot right into center field for the Mariners, Fraley still needed some seasoning in the minor leagues. Traded for former top pick Mike Zunino and fan favorite...

Last winter, as the Mariners prepared for a season of non-contention, they made a minor addition that drew little intrigue. They selected Brandon Brennan in the Rule-5 draft from - a 27 year old reliever from the Rockies who even the most well-researched experts had barely more than a couple notes on. Encouraging him to use his changeup far more than ever before, the Mariners whipped a groundball specialist out of the...

The patriot we need | Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images The only man for the job is struggling to keep his. Rob Manfred wipes the sweat from his brow and groans. They’ve been hiking for over two weeks now, through forest and farm and field, on the most important mission of his career, hoping to assemble a crack team capable of handling the crisis his sport faces. He furrows his brow, inspecting the carpet of pine needles exposed below a dusting of frost and snow. “Read me the...

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports You can find backups in the darndest places The Mariners took a flier on Austin Nola during the 2019 off-season on the recommendation of infield coach Perry Hill, who had known Nola when he was a member of the Marlins’ organization and raved about the converted catcher’s work ethic. As a 28-year-old journeyman player, opposing scouts likely didn’t scout Nola too heavily in preparing reports, giving Nola the element of surprise in his debut year. In 2019,...

Punishment is settled, but hand-wringing continues in the sign-stealing scandal fallout.
Welcome to a Thursday morning that is snowy where I am, and perhaps where you are too! Just a few notable free agents remain, but the arbitration decision on Kris Bryant seems to be holding up the trade market. Still, plenty of note to unpack in baseball yesterday.

A switch hitting, slight-framed power hitter out of Arkansas
A switch-hitting outfielder hailing from Amarillo, Texas, Heston Kjerstad figures to be one of the more proven plus power hitters in 2020’s relatively deep draft class. After being drafted in the 36th round out of Randall High in Amarillo by our very own Seattle Mariners, the Texas native has helped to boost his draft stock with two impressive years at Arkansas...
The Nationals have agreed to a minor league contract with outfielder Mac Williamson, tweets USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. He’ll be in Major League camp this spring and would earn a modest $700K salary if he makes the big league club. He’s represented by CAA Sports. For years, the Giants hoped that Williamson, now 29, would eventually seize an everyday spot in an outfield corner. But despite a strong Triple-A track record and some occasional flashes of potential, Williamson mustered a...

Not many rumors have swirled around the Mariners this year, but a reunion with their former top prospect has been hinted at.

*One-year suspensions for GM Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch.
*Losses of 1st and 2nd round draft picks in both 2020 and ‘21.
