Brock and Salk

Las Vegas Raiders broadcaster Jason Horowitz joins Lefko and Brock to discuss this upcoming Seahawks matchup and why the Raiders are still a dangerous team. What is your dream scenario for the Mariners offseason? Jon Morosi reporting Mitch Haniger could end up in the AL West and Brock thinks it's ok because the Mariners got everything they could out of him from a leadership standpoint, but now it's Julio's team. Brock's "dream" move is Trea Turner and what he can do with his speed and another elite arm (Kodai Senga from Japan).

Lefko and Brock preview the Raiders v Seahawks and ask who the bigger challenge will be between Davante Adams or Josh Jacobs? Rivalry week is getting heated and Brock outlines his key Apple Cup matchups but Brock ultimately thinks this will still be a close game on Saturday night. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: of all the Huskies the Seahawks have passed on in the NFL drafts, who is the biggest miss? Why are the Niners the most dangerous team in the NFC? What will be the biggest matchup on the field Saturday night in Pullman?

With the 49ers beating the pants off the Cardinals in MNF, they take possession of 1st place in the NFC West by holding the tie-breaker over Seattle. Lefko says the next two Seahawks games should be winnable (vs the Raiders and Rams) which means the division could come down to the Week 15 matchup vs. SF on Thursday Night Football in Seattle. The NY Jets are not committing to Zach Wilson at QB and the first World Cup match for the USA Men ends in a draw. We go 'Around the Station' to hear conversations from Bob & Robert Turbin about paying Geno $33m.

Longest bye week ever is over, Lefko and Brock discuss what the Seahawks players did during the free week. Brock's hunch is that the rookie class kept things low-key and professional by studying film and not doing anything chaotic like players in years past. Is $33m really going to be the asking price for Geno Smith this year? Lefko and Brock agree that he has outplayed expectations and they're building towards something bigger, so is it worth losing Geno to bet on a QB in the draft? Brock thinks Geno will bet on himself.

Mariners have questions in the OF and INF and Lefko asks Brock which one of the talented M's pitchers is most likely to be used in a trade? Brock says it's a great position for the Mariners to be in but he's only willing to trade guys like Flexen or Marco if teams are willing to take on an additional salary of a guy like Jesse Winker. Lefko and Brock go Around the NFL to share their biggest takeaways from some blowouts, nail-biters and MVP performances from Week 11.

After watching the other teams in the NFL this weekend, Brock says he learned definitively that the Seahawks are for real and should be playoff contenders because no other NFC teams have shown themselves to be ultimately dominant yet. Another name has been connected to Mariners rumors - Gleyber Torres of the Yankees. Brock & Lefko agree that Dylan Moore is not an everyday second baseman, but Brock has another name in his head for the Mariners: Andrew Benintendi. In Blue 88 we learn: who is this Raiders team rolling in this week? Did Hackett turning over play-calling duties make an impact? And did the oddsmakers get the Apple Cup's opening line right?

Mike Lefko in for Mike Salk -- Lefko is excited that we're finally back to a Seahawks game week since the 6:30am game in Munich feels like an extra week. We say happy birthday to Ken Griffey, JR who turns 53 today, and discuss the strange/true fact that the Raiders have beat only 2 teams this season after sweeping the Broncos. Both UW and WSU win this weekend ahead of the Apple Cup and the Kraken have reassigned forward Shane Wright to the Coachella Valley Firebirds — their AHL affiliate — on a conditioning loan. We revisit Jerry Dipoto's press conference from Friday.

Joe Fann joins Salk for his weekly appearance and is presented with the idea that Geno Smith could cost up to $33m per year and doesn't disagree with the notion that he'll be more expensive than we originally thought. The Kraken win at home last night in overtime and Salk is impressed with the bounce back. Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIROfm) joins Salk in-studio every Friday and today was mostly about Thanksgiving side dishes, but also his own feelings on the Geno Smith upcoming pay-day.

It's sad to see Kyle Lewis go but the M's are at a point where they couldn't count on him bouncing back. Salk discussed Cooper Hummel with some Diamondbacks folks and learned he's the kind of player the analysts like but scouts don’t. There have been a lot of Geno Smith Ryan Tannehill comparisons but Salk isn't sure he would want to re-sign the equivalent of Tannehill. Brady Henderson (in for Brock Huard) answers Salk's question about what it would take to sign Geno this week and he says it could be $33m for a variety of reasons. Salk is stunned.
