The Mariners have been playing well since the trade deadline, what concerns have we had even with the roster improvements? This Mariners team has done well against better teams but have struggled against teams below .500, should we be striving for the division or a wild card spot? // Four Down Territory: 1st Down: Who continues to grab your attention and will put pressure on their position group? 2nd Down: Who will have the biggest influence on the NFC West in 2025? 3rd Down: Who's a rookie to watch on Thursday? 4th Down: What's going to be the biggest challenge for Kubiak on Thursday? // The Timeline: Once again we have people complaining about a great player for a small market team, this time it was David Ortiz saying Elly De La Cruz would get more attention on the Yankees, Dodgers, or Red Sox. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is having a great day because we are one day closer to death. The Dallas Stars are under fire for monopolizing youth hockey by outpricing teams to use their rinks. // Jeff Passan thinks that the Mariners were the best team that bought at the deadline and was surprised that the price for Eugenio Suarez was not as steep as everything thought it would be.
