Mike Salk

Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 behind a strong outing from Robbie Ray and HRs from Suarez, Toro & Kelenic. We revisit the conversation from yesterday with Joe Fann and hear new details emerge of Geno Smith's "$7m" contract and it turns out that number is actually $500k guaranteed which means Salk is more confident the Seahawks will draft a QB in the 2nd round or go sign Baker Mayfield.

Today's "Take the L" covers an NHL player's ex-wife, USFL's bizarre chicken salad/pizza story and Joe Maddon's intentional bases-loaded walk. Brock Huard (about to go turkey hunting) argues with Salk on NFL draft questions.

Maura, Justin and the text line responds with their own answers before Salk explains why the "taking the best available player" answer is malarkey and doesn't make sense.
