Mike Salk

What did you see from Geno yesterday? Brock & Salk share their biggest moments and what impressed them the most from his comeback win (his first since 2014). Salk says Kolten Wong's signing means the M's are likely out of the running for a top SS candidate but he thinks the plan is coming together for the M's. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers why Michael Penix Jr. decided to return, what did McVay & Waldron do so well yesterday in their offensive schemes and how did Russell Wilson once again prove that his common sense filter is broken?

The biggest storyline to come out of yesterday's win is that we finally got to see Geno Smith lead the team to a win in the final minutes. Salk says it wasn't just the fact that he did it - but it was the poise he did it with that was also impressive. MLB winter meetings underway and on Friday the M's traded Winker and Toro for Kolten Wong. Is there a chance Bryan Reynolds from PITT is next? We hear Pete Carroll postgame press conference and discuss how pumped Bobby Wagner was for this game.

One person who really disliked the comments made by Jerry Dipoto was our friend Joe Fann who joins Salk for his weekly appearance to discuss the strategy behind how the Mariners choose to spend money and why he believes it is wrong. Our other Friday guest Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIRO) joins Salk in-studio to break down the Seahawks recent stumbles, if Sunday's game is a must-win, who he wants the Seahawks to target in the draft and an update on his son Gee Scott Jr at Ohio State.

The conversation surrounding the Mariners spending strategy on free agents continues and Salk's main point continues to be that the team shouldn't lock themselves into a long-term contract with a big name when it won't make sense down the road. Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer joins Salk to share her insights and beliefs on the Mariners offseason and how she believes the team can (and should) navigate free agency. Salk wonders if this Rams game is a “must win” for the Seahawks because a loss would make him wonder of they are still serious about the playoffs.

The winning ways of the Kraken continued last night as Matty Beniers scores the game-winner 7 seconds into OT over the Capitals, now just a couple points out of 1st place in the Pacific Division and Salk thinks Seattle is having the best luck with sports rookies right now between Julio, Tariq, and Beniers. We revisit yesterday's Jerry Dipoto conversation because Mariners fans were fired up after hearing what they believed to be a signal that the Mariners are not spending enough.

We react to what Jerry Dipoto told us about wanting to save money for deals with guys like Kirby, Gilbert and Raleigh in the near future. Then, we hear from Gossip Guy on Russell Wilson's b-day party attendance and Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked.

Brock asked - what if 5 years ago Schneider would have traded Russ and got a Top 5 pick to take Josh Allen? What if they went young instead of paying Bennett, Marshawn and Bobby their second (and third) contracts? Ultimately, have Bobby and Russ made Seahawk fans re-think the calculus of holding on to players too long and the benefit that can be gained if you love them early? Mariners President of Baseball Ops Jerry Dipoto joins Brock & Salk for his weekly conversation to break down where the M's stand this offseason and what we can expect moving forward.

Salk reacts to KJ's comment about drafting Bryce Young at #2 if you have it, but Salk feels more and more confident that they should go with one of the DL’s. Salk doesn't want to worry about the "Same Old Mariners" crowd, but the responses to his tweet last night shows they're very much still alive leading Salk to ask: is Jerry telling the truth about being a DDT organization or is that a PR spin to cover for not spending? Brock's 'Blue 88' answers why the Hawks picked up former 1st Rounder Jonathan Abram, who is the best match up in LA Sunday for SEA, and why was Matt Miller’s draft value of Michael Penix so different than others?

Salk starts the show with a little bit of soccer discourse and a discussion about seeing former Seahawk (and future Hall of Famer) Bobby Wagner in a different jersey and number against the Seahawks. Salk still believes it's only a matter of time before the bridges are mended between him and the Seahawks, but wonders if he's miserable in LA with the collapse that they've experienced this season. We revisit some of yesterday's KJ Wright show to hear his thoughts on the future of Russell.
