After hitting rock bottom on Sunday, the mood around the M’s has turned thanks to the arrival of Jonatan Clase. Can he single-handedly end the Seattle swoon? Plus the Storm drafts a Caitlin Clark stopper and the Seahawks continue to tell us they will not draft Troy Fautanu.

The Seattle swoon experienced a false spring over the weekend with the Sounders winning big, but the only consistent winner in the Seattle sports scene is the team that’s already headed to the lottery. We debate again what to make of the M’s slow start after trying the cookies (and crumble) at Snohomish Pie Co. as part of our search.

Before our inaugural hot takes of the 2024 season looking ahead to M’s opening day on Thursday, we discuss the logical fit between UW and new athletic director Pat Chun, changing sides in the Apple Cup rivalry. Then we close by remembering two members of the Seattle sports community who recently passed, King5’s Alan Reed and Storm CFO Tricia McLean.

Despite athletic director Troy Dannen’s departure to take the same job at Nebraska, the Huskies were able to hire Utah State head coach Danny Sprinkle as their new men’s basketball coach hours after Sprinkle’s season ended with a win and a loss in the NCAA tournament. We discuss what to expect from Sprinkle, why we’re finally excited about UW men’s hoops and what’s next with Dannen’s exit.

We’re through the bulk of free agency and the Seahawks more or less executed our plan after signing Leonard Williams, which should result in a haul of compensatory picks in 2025. We grade the offseason, then take our search for Seattle’s best cookie back to Burien and wonder whether UW men’s basketball coaching target Danny Sprinkle (and Niko Medved?) is playing 4D chess with his favorite musician.

The opening days of free agency have seen more Seahawks going than coming, but it’s their deal to re-sign Leonard Williams that has us most concerned so far. After discussing that, we propose a new (very old) method to rank spots in our search for Seattle’s best cookie and whether Danny Sprinkle’s ties to the Huskies might make him the right coach to wake up a possible “sleeping giant” UW men’s basketball program.

It’s the end of multiple eras in Seattle sports as the Seahawks move on from several players, including safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs, ahead of free agency and UW men’s basketball appears headed for a coaching change. (Update: ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Friday that Mike Hopkins has been told he will be fired at season’s end.) Plus our search for Seattle’s best cookie takes us to strong contender Treat Cookies in Burien.
