I'm imagining deGrom invoked this clause like Michael Scott declared bankruptcy. Chris Young: "Jacob, we've got a deal in place with the Braves." deGrom: "I INVOKE NO TRADES" Young: "Surely we can figure out a move to—" deGrom: "I have invoked my clause."
MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social · 2d agoMariners using that Castillo money they freed up to get Ward seems like a good deal. Didn't give up much to acquire him and he balances and lengthens the lineup. Good bit of maneuvering from the M's.
MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social · 2d agoYuck. Moving Castillo was always the easy path forward, but the return is pretty underwhelming. At least Domínguez has an 80-grade name.
James Fegan@jrfegan.soxmachine.com · 4d agoCan confirm what Jeff Passan has reported, White Sox have traded Seranthony Domínguez, Boston Smith and Nolan Jones to Mariners for Luis Castillo
I thought the Odyssey was a pretty normal film. Nothing odd to see in it.
The Mariners limp home for their longest homestand of the year. This series against the Twins comes right before Monday’s trade deadline, making this weekend’s games critically important for the M’s. Series preview for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social: www.lookoutlanding.com/seattle-mari...

I’ve lived in Bellingham for more than 20 years and I finally saw orcas in the bay tonight. Three juveniles and a mother close to the shore plus two more adults further out in the bay.
The starting lineups from the last time the Mariners won against the Dodgers (L - April 19, 2021) and the last time they won in Dodger Stadium (R - June 28, 2009). Remember some of these guys?
Bad news: the M's face the Dodgers this week. Good news: they face the bad part of LA's rotation. Bad: two of those starters are LHP. Good: uh... Bad: the M's haven't won a game against the Dodgers since 2021. Series preview for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social: www.lookoutlanding.com/seattle-mari...

I just realized the Mariners are going to trade for Ty France in the next few weeks to give the bench a right-handed bat they desperately need. He's up to a 142 wRC+ this year and has five home runs in his last six games.
The Mariners face off against the Reds this week. Cincinnati has been the worst team in baseball since the beginning of May, but the M's still need to prove they can take care of business against teams like these.

Some quick observations about the Mariners' 2027 schedule: - That stretch from late May to early July is going to be brutal. 36 games in 39 days. Two back-to-back 13 game stretches. A road trip through HOU, NYY, and PHI. 😬 - A series in CLE in early April 🥶 - A 16 game stretch to finish Apr. 😩

Simultaneously the most un-Angels pick and the most Angels pick possible: - high school player? ❌ - two-way player? ✅ - long-term development project? ❌ - local kid? ✅ (Also feel pretty good about nailing this pick in the @lookoutlanding.bsky.social mock draft)

Wrote about Dylan Cease's no-hit bid, his case for AL Cy Young, and his new changeup, which might be the most unique offspeed pitch in baseball. His change has the highest whiff rate of *any* pitch in baseball. My latest for @fangraphs.com: blogs.fangraphs.com/with-no-hit-...

I believe this is the sixth time Carlos Carrasco has been DFA'd this year, which means he's tied the record for most DFAs in a single calendar year. Other players who have been DFA'd six times in a single calendar year: - Oliver Drake (2018) - Kyle Tyler (2022) - Casey Lawrence (2025)
