Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks made some moves that might seem minor, but were important for the franchise moving forward and Gregg gives us all the info on the signings. Who might the Seahawks be looking at to replace Ken Walker? What's the latest on Maxx Crosby and the Seahawks interest? :30- The Huskies stayed alive after an OT win over USC in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Is Danny Sprinkle the answer? The team continues to struggle to be successful, but they did deal with a lot of injuries this year, is that a valid excuse? It isn't just the last two year, this team hasn't had success in the tournament since 2010 and they haven't made it to the tourney since 2019, so why is UW not able to crack the code? :45- Mariners Opening Day is only TWO WEEKS away! Is Chuck throwing out the first pitch? Cole Young is putting up some serious numbers in Spring Training; will he be our starting 2nd baseman on opening day?

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider's reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle's roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken's precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a "turtle derby" where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team's inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle's contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.

Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer joins the show to talk about how much stock you should put into Cole Young’s early struggles, how you gauge the Mariners starters progress as spring training goes on, how Jose Ferrer is adjusting to his new team, her thoughts on Arozarena’s performance last year, the buzz around Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan, and Colt Emerson, and her level of concern with the Bryce Miller’s injury. // Wyman & Bob give their Seahawk free agent that would be the toughest to bring back for 2026 whether that be due to money, team chemistry, or lack of other options in the draft and trade market. // What We Learned
- We have another round of Check Yes or No as we preview NFL free agency and the possibilities for the Seahawks to improve the defense and shore up the O-Line. Would we want the Seahawks to make a splash in free agency or are we good with just re-signing as many of our free agent guys as we can and getting new deals done with JSN and Spoon? :30- PERRY HILL (Mariners infield coach) How are things going with Brendan Donovan so far and how is the transition going for him from 2nd to 3rd? What does Perry say to those who question JP's defense and think the shortstop is on the decline? How is Cole Young looking so far this spring? Josh Naylor is more than just a flashy dresser and Perry's relationship with the M's first baseman goes back a long time. Which youngster has impressed him the most so far? :45- At this stage, is it s foregone conclusion that Ken Walker is gone? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If not Ken Walker then who? We revisit some of our conversation with Gregg Bell from earlier this morning and discuss options for replacing Ken Walker if the Seahawks can't make a deal work with the running back. How high will the Seahawks be willing to go for Walker? It's certainly higher than they would go a month ago. We explore some of the free agents available this offseason and trade possibilities as well. :30- The WBC starts this week with some exhibition games starting tomorrow and actual WBC games starting on Wednesday. That's not all though, the breakout games are in a couple weeks as well. Most of the guys getting the majority of the at-bats early on were ramping up to the WBC, all but one… Colt Emerson. :45- We close out the Monday show with one last thing!

Brendan Donovan becoming an every day 3rd baseman; how concerned should we be there? We never know what we are going to get from Arozarena in left field.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald spoke to the media yesterday, so what did we learn? The post-Super Bowl feeling is surreal and Harbaugh has high praise. How in-sync are Schneider and MacDonald when it comes to free agency and draft picks? How much of a priority is it for the Seahawks to bring Woolen and Josh Jobe back? How many of the Seahawks' 6 free agents will return? No, the Seahawks have not been invited to the White House and if they do get the invite, they will go. :30- It's time for What Chuck learned at Spring Training part 6! Cole Young may be starting at 2nd base coming out of spring training, but it is clear that this organization wants to see both Young and Colt Emerson in this lineup at some point this season. None of these young guys will be on the team if they aren't ready, so they'd have to be showing out to get the call up. If both Emerson and Yong are in this lineup, then who is out? Raley? Canzone? Robles? Refsnyder? :45- Mike MacDonald spoke to the media in Indy yesterday, so we hear from our Seahawks head coach on how life has changed post-Super Bowl and the instant impact of his rookies.

On Tuesday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens the show with quick thoughts on the Mariners, Cole Young, Tarik Skubal and the return of the Kraken to action this week. John Canzano, “The Bald Faced Truth” and JohnCanzano.comjoins Puck and they are all over the place from rules in sports and non-sports rules that they would like changed, our dislike for Uber Eats, the next AD at Washington State, his visit to Utah State and learning about an incredible hoops player, Jeff Bezo's ex-wife's interest in perhaps the Sonics and Seahawks, and why are universities and colleges so scared to share what they are paying their athletes?Chris Daniels, KOMO 4 sits down with Puck to chat about what's next for NBA expansion in Seattle. How close are we and what does the proposed ownership group look like? Also, what are the potential road blocks to expansion within the league and does Washington's new proposed “millionaire tax” stand in the way? Also, what is Chris hearing on the front of the Seahawks sale?Puck heads to Indianapolis and chats with Bob Condotta, Seattle Times who has boots on the ground covering the NFL combine.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.

US Hockey wins GOLD! What a game, what an Olympic journey as the US beat Canada 2-1 in OT to bring the gold medal back to the states for the first time since the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. Could the feat cause a renewed surge in hockey and grow the sport even more? :30- What Chuck learned from Spring Training Part 1: What's the plan for second base? It seems fans are all that convinced that Cole Young is the answer, but the Mariners sure seem to be convinced that he's the guy. Colt Emerson is being given the opportunity to win a roster spot, but the chances aren't very high that he will start the season in the majors. There is a strong chance he will get the call up during the season and they will just have to figure out where to play him. And what about Michael Arroyo? He got people talking over the weekend and could be the third baseman of the future for the M's. Ryan Bliss seems headed for a utility role after winning the 2nd base job last year and going out with an injury. Miles Mastrobuoni looked good in camp, he's put on weight and seems ready to make an impact this season in a utility role as well. :45- It's Pajama Party week as the NFL combine gets underway in Indianapolis.
We had a very informative conversation with Mariners GM Justin Hollander last week at Spring Training and in case you missed it, we replay a good portion of that now. From Colt Emerson and Cole Young making the opening day roster to the likelihood we see one of the young pitchers with the big leagues this year, we cover it all! :30- The Seahawks break is over as John Schneider heads to the combine and gets back to work. What are the chances the Hawks are able to bring back both Ken Walker and Rashid Shaheed on contracts that appease the players and are friendly for the organization? :45- We wrap up the Monday show with one last thing!

How much should we expect to see Garver? - Josh Naylor is ALL IN. - Cole Young is the frontrunner to start at 2nd base. :30- ICYMI Cal Raleigh :45- Our Spring Training recap montage!
Mariners GM JUSTIN HOLLANDER joins the show and we have a lot to discuss. Will Colt Emerson be given a legit shot to make the opening day roster? And if so, where would he fit best? How does Emerson's status affect where Donovan will play? How difficult was it to navigate slow pace of the Donovan trade? Who is the favorite to start the season at 2nd base? What's the plan for the right-field/DH platoon? Where does Hollander see Laz Montes this season? Let's look at the depth of the starting pitchers… and how is he feeling about the health of his starting 5? We gotta get Justin's thoughts on the addition of Josh Naylor. The moves are made, but that doesn't mean they won't be looking for ways to get better as the season goes on! :30- There have been a lot of positives with this team through the first week of Spring Training, but do we have some cause for concern with this team at all? :45- The NBA is going all in to combat tanking, will it work?

This Mariners team is going to have some platoons, that's just how they operate, so how will some of these positions play out?

What happens if Cole Young and Colt Emerson both show out? :30- DOM CANZONE joins the show! Has he gotten bigger again? What's his offseason routine? How was his offseason and who had the most romantic proposal? Has he proven that he can hit lefties now? The outfield is getting pretty crowded, how does he feel about his place out there vs DH'ing?

COLE YOUNG sits down with the guys as Day 2 of Spring Training continues. What was he focused on during the offseason? How much more comfortable is he now than he was at this time last year, both mentally and physically? Has he had a lot of conversations with the pitching staff to pick their brains and help him improve? :30- COLT EMERSON joins the guys as our newly created infielders' day continues.

Brady talks with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney on Christmas Eve about the Mariners signing of Rob Refsnyder, the team's belief in Cole Young, the possible pursuit of Ketel Marte, Jorge Polanco's recent comments and if Felix Hernandez can make a surprise Hall of Fame splash in 2026.
RUNDOWN Mitch opens Episode 361 barely able to speak. Area code 361, is a surprisingly stacked Corpus Christi résumé — from Farrah Fawcett's iconic poster-era fame to Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Lynyrd Skynyrd's longtime keyboardist Billy Powell. The college football playoff drama continues, Notre Dame spent weeks ahead of Miami in the rankings only to get leapfrogged on a Saturday when neither team played — and then "boycott" bowl season in peak Irish fashion. From there they pivot to the Seahawks' 26–6 win in Atlanta, breaking down Sam Darnold's Jekyll-and-Hyde day (ugly first half, near-perfect second), Rashid Shaheed finally becoming a real factor in the passing game, and rookie safety Nick Emmanwori looking like a heat-seeking missile on an already elite defense. Rick breaks down a wild Selection Sunday, starting with the baffling late flip that dropped Notre Dame behind Miami despite neither team playing — a move he believes was driven more by ACC politics than football. He argues Alabama should've been penalized for an awful SEC title game showing, outlines why championship games now feel meaningless, and even says this version of Alabama "has no chance." Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 37–9 dismantling of the Falcons, a performance highlighted by back-to-back games without allowing a touchdown and the defense's most dominant two-week stretch since 2014. Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori delivered superstar-level days while the returns of Julian Love and Jarran Reed stabilized the unit even further. On offense, Sam Darnold shook off a miserable first half and exploded for 182 yards and three touchdowns after halftime. Mitch brings Brady and Joe back together for the first Mariners No-Table since the season ended in Toronto, diving straight into Seattle's early offseason headline: the five-year, $92M Josh Naylor deal — a rare moment where the Mariners actually did what "everyone agrees they should do." The guys break down why the front office moved so fast, whether it was an overpay, and what it signals to the clubhouse and the league. From there, they examine the next dominoes (Polanco, bullpen additions, third base uncertainty), debate Cole Young's floor vs. ceiling, unpack the Harry Ford trade, and even entertain the dream-but-unlikely scenario of trading for Tarik Skubal.
