Today, we breakdown how I think the Opening Day 26 man roster will look, specifically if J.P Crawford is forced to miss any time.

Also, we do a deeper dive on Yosver Zulueta’s camp and how I think he has earned his way on to the roster for opening day, as well as what could potentially keep him in Tacoma if the Mariners decide to go another route.

Today, we discuss Brennen Davis and his incredible start to camp, as well as his chances of making the 26 man roster out of camp, and what his role with the 2026 Mariners could look like.

Also, we touch on the Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh spat, and whether or not their is a concern on this lingering into the season.

Note: I say that Cal announced himself as captain of Team USA, which is obviously not true. This was meant as Cal announcing himself as a member of Team USA.

Thank you again to all of you who voted on this week’s show topic!

Nathan Bishop , formerly of the Lookout Landing/Dome and Bedlam/The Light Bat lore, joins me for the inaugural interview episode of the WFTW Pod - where we dive into the impending MLB labor crisis, the bit that is the Seattle Mariners, the off-season and whether or not Nathan has truly ever been owned.

A quick warning, the first five minutes or so of the episode picked up every ounce of noise possible in the background, but the remainder of the recording should be fine.

Given this is my first recording with a guest, this was a bit of a learning experience on my end, so apologies in advance.

Enjoy!

Well, I actually did it.

I had stated at the end of previous year that I would be starting a podcast, but frankly I wasn’t really sure where to start. I knew what I wanted it to be, but admittedly there was a level of fear and nervousness with recording on my own, and not just being a guest on another show.

Being a guest and answering a question is one thing, but driving the show, building the structure of the conversation, understanding the concept of empty space amongst other things, were all foreign concepts to me. These are not necessarily skillsets you can teach yourself over night (as experienced in the two different versions of this that will never see the light of day).

With that said, I’m proud to finally record my own podcast, one that I hope will find its way into your rotation moving forward as I continue to gain my sea legs in this process.

On today’s show - I dive into:

* What we saw from Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan

* The sheer comical size of Lazaro Montes

* Michael Arroyo’s surprise infield reps at third base

* Brendan Donovan, son of Gimli

* Cal Raleigh

* Vibes at Camp

Again - thank you so much for your support in both reading, and now listening to Words from the Wharf. Enjoy.
