Brock and Salk

Brady Henderson (in for Brock) joins Salk to discuss some of who and what was seen - and not seen - at the most recent Seahawks practice, and if it's worth reading into any of the absences. The guys are joined by Shannon Drayer from Oakland to discuss Munoz, Logan Evans, Brant Brown's dismissal and more before Blue 88. 

The M's were able to scratch out the win in Oakland behind a strong George Kirby start and Ty France double, but the awkward ending of Andres Munoz outing at the plate followed by him exiting early is certainly cause for concern. We revisit the conversation with ESPN's MLB Insider Jeff Passan.

We go over some of the trade possibilities Jeff Passan suggested in the previous hour. Would you be down for a Paul Sewald reunion? Then, we discuss our takeaways from Ryan Grubb and Aden Durde speaking after OTA's yesterday. Plus, Justin and Salk deliver another edition of Ranked.

Salk was able to chat with one of the most important Seahawks players on the 2024 defense in Boye Mafe to discuss the future under Coach Macdonald and we get to hear some very interesting details, names, and other trade possibilities for the Mariners from ESPN's Senior MLB Insider Jeff Passan. 

The Mariners made an early addition and an appropriate move, per Salk, to their roster yesterday by signing OF and former top-5 prospect Victor Robles who was released by the Washington Nationals. Maura and Salk ask a series of Seahawks-centric 'What If?' questions that shed some light on the current state of the team before Blue 88. 

Salk opens the show by admitting he feels vulnerable in the wake of the recent drama surrounding Caitlin Clark's entrance to the WNBA. Salk shares some observations from attending Seahawks practice and we revisit the conversation with Mariners broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith. 

Keith Law has 5 M's prospects in his updated top 50 and all 5 are bats. Given that pool of talent, Brock and Salk discuss some trade possibilities. Then, they discuss M's hitting coach Brant Brown's firing and why his philosophy might not have been a fit for this team. Plus, Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked for you.

The news of Vikins WR Justin Jefferson signing the largest contract in NFL history for a WR gets both Brock & Salk thinking about how positions are valued by the league. The guys are joined by Mariners broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith to share his thoughts on the team post-sweep and address some pitching questions from Mariners fans. 

Salk has a lot of thoughts on why the M's made the decision to move on from Brant Brown, which is the first in-season coaching change since Jerry arrived. Who will this help the most? Brock's Blue 88. 

Vibes are high coming off the Mariners second sweep of the season, this time over the Angels behind some quality Mariners pitching and timely homeruns, but it comes on the heels of the firing of bench coach/offensive coordinator Brant Brown - the first coaching change during the season in the Dipoto era. Maura takes us Around the Weekend w/ NHL Stanley Cup finals set and WNBA drama.
