• Athletics GM David Forst has been on the phone all week trying to work a three-way deal wiht the Mets and Giants that would send Luis Arraez to Sacramento, Elvis Alvarado to New York, and superprospect Francisco Alvarez to San Francisco.

reflections on the mariners

the blues are being sung around
the Mariners clubhouse

after
Gabe Speier's
friend left him

Speier got a case of Turnvirus

but

Colt Emerson

can come around

and Justin Hollander can pull in a solid pitcher like
Troy Melton

Seattle will have to be reckoned with
