In Mariners news...
The Mariners have signed two undrafted free agents, a LHP out of Florida and a RHP from Missouri:
The #Mariners have signed FIU LHP Drake Batcho as an UDFA. A metric-monster, Batcho is a low-launch lefty with immense ride on the FB, up to 97. He mixes in an upper-80s CU and a low-80s SL. First order of business is developing his well below-avg command.https://t.co/KAFYJvGWQd
The #Mariners have also signed 6'8" RHP Austin Marozas as an UDFA out of Missouri. Marozas is up to 96 with sink and a quality, fading changeup. Fringy command. Has been impressive in the MLB Draft League. https://t.co/KSUvGqrtS8

The two biggest names yet not to make the trip to Toronto because they are not vaccinated against COVID-19: NL MVP candidates Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado, who will miss the series this week against the Blue Jays, Cardinals president John Mozeliak told St. Louis media.
Third baseman Evan Longoria has been placed on the San Francisco Giants’ 10-day IL due to a right hamstring strain, with RHP Gregory Santos recalled from Triple-A to fill the vacant roster spot.
The World Athletics Championships came to a close in Eugene, Oregon last night as the legendary 22-year-old Mondo Duplantis broke his own world record with a height of 6.21 meters to claim his first world pole vault title! This year’s Worlds was an amazing and historic 10 days all around, with Team USA continuing to impress by winning the most medals by any country in championship history. It was also inspiring to see so many other countries stepping up in the big moments when it mattered most. Until next year!
