Brock and Salk

Brock and Salk go through an article written by Cespedes Family BBQ in which they evaluate the players in each organization that are age 26 or younger and rank all 30 franchises as a result. The Mariners fared very well. After that, Raiders radio broadcaster Jason Horowitz joins the show to share his insight on Maxx Crosby, Pete Carroll's time in Vegas and more.

Brock and Salk debate if the Seahawks should be willing to give up a similar trade for Maxx Crosby the same way that the Packers gave up for Micah Parsons. They then rank the six Seahawks set to become free agents in terms of importance that the team brings them back. In Blue 88, Brock takes a look at some Mike Macdonald sound on AJ Barner, the most signable Seahawks free agent this week and how the local Seattle prospects fared at the NFL Combine.

Salk reacts to their interview with Brian Nemhauser from yesterday in which he floats both a Maxx Crosby trade and the package it could cost. He isn't quite sold given the trade package that was thrown out there. Later, they re-air their interview with Hawkblogger in which he dives into Crosby, the NFL Combine and much more.

We discuss Brian Nemhauser's proposal for a Maxx Crosby trade and whether the Seahawks should consider giving up that much. Then, we have some fun with Shannon Drayer's report that Logan Gilbert is trying out more new pitches now that Cal Raleigh is away at the WBC and can't stop him. Plus, we discuss a first 4 years side by side comp between Julio Rodriguez and Barry Bonds that has been polarizing on social media.

Brock and Salk debate how the Seahawks could address the running back position if they do not bring back Ken Walker. One name was David Montgomery, but he was traded mid-segment. They then bring on Brian Nemhauser (aka Hawkblogger) to get his insight on his time at the NFL Combine,the potential of a Maxx Crosby trade and much more.

Brock and Salk discuss if the 2026 Mariners are better than the 2025 Mariners after a friend asked Salk this question over the weekened. They then talk with Mariners pitching prospect Ryan Sloan. In Blue 88, topics include how the NFL took a page from college football, what is most unique about this year's NFL Draft class and a few prospects that sound like Seahawks.
