Mike Salk

The Mariners made the kind of move that winning teams make by acquiring the top player available not named Soto and Salk is thrilled about it because this was always something they were going to have to do and this is what farm systems are for, but Salk also wants one more situational bat in the lineup. We revisit the conversation with Brock Huard regarding Castillo & call up of Kelenic before RANKED: Pennies.

Salk is fired up about the Angels broadcast saying the M's have a reputation for throwing at people when the M's are 4th in baseball (and 2nd in the AL) in the HBP category. They have lost France, Julio, Lewis, and Upton to injuries due to being hit & were repeatedly thrown at by the Angels because Trout's feelings were hurt. Salk talks to Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny from Training Camp to hear why he chose to stay in Seattle followed by a discussion of his potential.

The Mariners made the kind of move that winning teams make by acquiring the top pitcher available (or top player not named Soto or Ohtani) and this was always something they were going to have to do, according to Salk. Yes, they gave up a lot, but they got a lot too. Salk talks to Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer to hear how the players reacted to the Castillo signing and updates to Julio's injury. Brock Huard joins the show with excitement about Castillo and a subdued reaction to Jarred Kelenic.

Salk starts the show with the breaking news of Deshaun Watson's suspension announcement from Judge Sue L. Robinson who ruled that "Watson will be suspended six games for violating the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy." Salk is beside himself. Mariners made a huge move on Friday during the Astros blowout by trading for RHP Luis Castillo from the Cincinnati Reds and it's the message to the fans/players that the M's are in it to win it. Maura takes us Around the Weekend to recap the M's series, injury updates and a tribute to Bill Russell.

Salk takes your calls on potential trades for the M's, DK Metcalf's deal and concerns over the Seahawks current QB situation. Then, Brock Huard gets to tell Salk 'I told you so', and another edition of Ranked.

KJ Wright's retirement ceremony featured an emotional cameo from KJ's father and we learn that the "special guest" Salk was teasing all morning was actually his own father & creator of "The Salk Rules," the one and only Larry Salk. Mike asks him to give the latest update on how he's doing after having a heart attack a couple months ago and his return to the softball field. We go to our sister station in Denver to speak w/ former Seahawk OL Tyler Polumbus (104.3 The Fan) to creep on our ex, Russell.

 A few days away from the trade deadline and we are starting to get some information on who is expensive & who can be acquired relatively cheaply. Salk knows adding pitching is mandatory, but you need more offense to improve. Could Jamal Adams be approaching Malik McDowell territory with his hand issues? The amount they gave up for him makes it a huge problem, and Brock Huard rubs Salk's face in the mess because he's been saying it all along.

Salk starts the show by making fun of Justin for being late & chopping off all his hair and says he'll have to sing as punishment later on the show. The Mariners lose in Houston and all the focus is now on what Jerry can do to make this team better before the trade deadline and Salk argues that it may be more important to add run-producers in addition to a high profile starting pitcher like Luis Castillo. We revisit the Jerry Dipoto Show to hear his own thoughts & potential targets.

Salk explains why Jerry Dipoto's comments on the challenges of the trade deadline could mean that they are thinking bigger in the moves they are considering. Then, Brock Huard joins to discuss more observations from training camp and defend Drew Lock against Salk's criticism.

What will this new Seahawks offense look like? Salk asks new TE Noah Fant to describe how he's felt during the opening days of Training Camp, his favorite type of offenses to run, and his assessment of Drew Lock from his time in Denver. With the trade deadline approaching, Julio's ascension and the Mariners continuing to perform, the Jerry Dipoto Show has a lot to cover on who/what/when we might see a move out of the Mariners.
