In Mariners news...

• The greater Mariners fandom watched the Winter Meetings come and go with nothing to get excited about. We all had expectations and they’re not being met, but this analysis by user Upwell from earlier this weekend just might have some answers as to why that is.
• Well it’s not so much news, but it’s Randy Johnson pelting innocent civilians with newspapers, what more could you ask for?

Around the league...

• For those of you keeping count at home...

• The Toronto Blue Jays signed centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier. The deal is pending a physical.
• The Boston Red Sox suffered a loss they clearly weren’t expecting when shortstop Xander Bogaerts signed with the Padres.

• Speaking of boxing, who is ready for round two of Yankees vs. Giants? In this corner, weighing in with a newly paid right fielder and several holes left to fill in the roster to keep him happy, ready to open the wallet again, it’s the Yankees. And in this corner, they’re down but they’re not out, sitting on a comically large pile of cash that just went unspent, the challenger, the Giants! What are they fighting for? None other than starting pitcher Carlos Rodon! Who will win? Stay tuned to find out!

Nick’s pick...

• When it’s all said and done, England vs. France was a real lose/lose matchup. On the one hand, England might advance. On the other hand, France might advance. Nobody wins in that situation. Except for us Mariners fans, who now have a perfect roadmap on what to wear the next time the Mariners set up the Ty France cheering section. Now, if you look at the image below, you might notice a particular fellow getting a nice bite of baguette. This gentleman and his dress are the new standard of apparel for Ty France appreciation. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them.
