Brock and Salk

Lefko & Brady discuss if NFL salaries ever come close to NBA salaries and what will the biggest issues be when the next CBA expires before being joined by MASN Orioles television play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Brown, and finished up with RANKED: BradyTop 5 songs for any 4th of July party.

ESPN's Matt Miller wrote his way-too-early 2025 NFL draft order and has the Seahawks taking a WR at... #11. Does this portend to an underwhelming, heavy loss 2024 season? The brutal 14 days for the Mariners lead us to bring on M's insider Shannon Drayer to discuss what is happening with Julio and others. 

Brady Henderson joins the show and shares how shocking it was to see the M's 10-game lead in the AL West take an immediate dip within just a couple weeks. Conversation turns to how the Seahawks defense will bring an illusion of complexity by using defensive disguises implemented by Coach Macdonald - but is it potentially too confusing or challening for some players on the D line? Blue 88. 

Mike Lefko in for Salk on the holiday week to cover another offensively-challenged game with the M's only able to muster two hits in what was otherwise a gem thrown by George Kirby. We learn of two Mariners inching closer to joining the big league club and revisit the conversation with ESPN's Senior MLB insider Jeff Passan. 

Salk discusses why the Kraken's free agency moves leave him wondering what kind of team they want to be. Then, we talk with Lyle Goldstein of the Marine Layer Podcast about hosting the show Friday when Brock and Salk are off for the holiday weekend. Plus, Justin and Salk have another gigantic list for you in Ranked.

The news of the impending sale of the Boston Celtics has Salk questioning a lot of the goings-on behind the scenes and who the players involved are - but also what it could mean for the future of the NBA in Seattle. Salk is joined by Senior MLB Insider at ESPN Jeff Passan to discuss the recent M's stumbles and also how the trade deadline is shaping up. 

Salk uses the word 'nursing' to describe the way the Mariners lead feels at this point, but would M's fans be happy being 8 games over .500 w/ a 3-game lead in the AL West in July if you asked them back at the beginning of the season? Former Mariners catcher Dan Wilson joins Salk to disscuss some of the prospects in the org before Brock jumps in (from Idaho) for Blue 88. 

Salk opens the show with his thoughts and feelings on the somewhat-confusing signings made by the Seattle Kraken yesterday during NHL free agency before setting the table for the Mariners set to take on Baltimore for three games at home and the interesting sale of the Boston Celtics incoming. We revisit the conversation with 

Pro Football Focus put together an exercise where you build the best D-line with current NFL players and there were no Seahawks included. Should we take anything from that? Then, we get sidetracked with a little movie sequel talk before discussing Julio's struggles at the plate and his hitting coach being in town for some tweaking this week. Plus, Justin and Salk bring you another edition of Ranked.

For all of the talk about the deadline, there are very few teams that are actually sellers right now and there are 13 potential buyers - but one team is really key to the whole deadline and Salk shares what he's heard before being joined by M's broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith.
