Mike Salk

Why has it been harder for the M's to sign free agents? Salk offers his own theories based on information he's heard around the league from other players and agrees with Divish that there may be a "Seattle tax" to overpay players. Gee Scott joins Salk in-studio for his final appearance of the year to discuss how the Chiefs could put it together in the next 2 games and surprise us.

Our New Year's resolutions and some suggestions from the texters and chat about the cold weather before we talk to Seattle Times Mariners beat reporter Ryan Divish.

Jon Morosi joined Wyman & Bob and discussed the lingering possibility of Bryan Reynolds becoming a Mariner and Salk agrees he would be an incredible addition. Joe Fann joins Salk a day early and answers his question about if it's more important to find the elite QB in the draft or build a great team around a good one instead? Salk asks Joe a question he wants to ask Mariners fans later: what will it take to get you more excited about the M’s this offseason?

KJ Wright says he would "absolutely" take Bryce Young (Alabama) if he's available for the Seahawks in the draft and DMac (104.3 The Fan, Denver) says they would be "stupid" NOT to draft a QB... but Salk still isn't convinced and wrote an article about how the Seahawks shouldn't try. Chris Myers (FOX Sports) is on the Seahawks vs Jets broadcast this Sunday and shares his high praise for Tariq Woolen and answers: who is this Jets team? Brady Henderson (in for Brock Huard) on 'Blue 88' covers if Geno is in the 30-33M range & what the Hawks should do w/ a Top 3 pick?

The future is bright for Julio Rodriguez... right? Salk is a little bummed because today is J-Rod's 22nd bday and he can no longer call him a "21 year-old kid" but also because Baseball Reference has his 2023 season projections below what his 2022 numbers were. Tyler Lockett could potentially return this Sunday but Jacob Hollister will be suiting up again in a Seahawks uniform to bolster the TE group. We revisit the KJ Wright Show w/ guest Cliff Avril for those who missed it.

Everyone on the Seahawks seems to be optimistic going into the final 2 games of the regular season and even the players believes they still have a shot at making a playoff run, but do they have enough to build on for next season? Salk decides to ask Seahawks fans by opening up the phone lines to see if we should draft a new QB or build around the ones we have and the results were pretty one-sided.
