Gary Hill from the Mariners Radio Network and host of the official Seattle Mariners Podcast joins M's insider Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports for a full hour of Talking Mariners. In this episode, they discuss:

Mariners insider Shannon Drayer takes us through the best Mariners interviews, analysis and talk from the week on Seattle Sports 710 AM, providing her insight along the way. In the first episode of the 2022-23 offseason, we hear highlights from interviews with Seattle Sports' Bob Stelton, new Mariners 2B Kolten Wong, Seattle Times reporter Ryan Divish, MLB Network's Jon Morosi, M's analyst Ryan Rowland-Smith, Prospect Insider's Jason Churchill, Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette reporter Jason Mackey and Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto.

Mariners insider Shannon Drayer is back with her fellow M's pregame/postgame host, Curtis Rogers, to give us the latest on Seattle's offseason in a new edition of the Talking Mariners podcast. And right on time, M's president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto made some waves with comments about the team's approach to payroll on his weekly Seattle Sports radio show, so Shannon and Curtis break down what he was getting at (thankfully in more than 280 characters). They also cover who should hit leadoff for the Mariners in 2023 (and whether that person is Julio) and set the scene with the MLB winter meetings -- and the moves that should come with it -- starting early next week.

Fire up the Hot Stove! It's an important offseason for the Mariners coming off their second straight 90-win season and first return to the playoffs since 2001, so Mariners insider Shannon Drayer and Seattle Sports' Curtis Rogers (both of whom you may know from the Mariners pregame and postgame shows) are here to set the stage. Covered on this episode:

-Mitch Haniger: Are they in or out?
-Could we see a surprise with the pitching?
-Is J.P. Crawford truly locked in at shortstop? (And a wrinkle at second base)
-Two teams to watch this winter that could get in the Mariners' way (not the Astros)
