The second half of the season starts today for the Mariners as they take on the Astros for a 3-game series. In the past few years, the Mariners have not had success out the gate after the All-Star break. Bump & Curtis break down what the Mariners need to do to avoid a slow start to the second half. // Headline Rewrites: Nick Emmanwori and the Seahawks reached an agreement on a fully guaranteed rookie contract. Damian Lillard and the Trail Blazers are reuniting after two seasons spent apart in Milwaukee. TJ Watt and the Steelers agreed to a 3-year extension with an AAV of $41 million, making him the new highest paid defensive player. // With Nick Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo finally signing their rookie contracts, what does this tell us about the Seahawks and how they are operating? The guys give us their takes on what this new style of wanting fully guaranteed money for rookie contracts means for this organization and the NFL. // During the All-Star break, Jerry Dipoto caught up some of the media to talk about the trade deadline. He feels like we have a fairly complete roster and would be looking for a move that would be meaningful. He is aware that there some rental players that would fit in this clubhouse but nothing is certain. How are we feeling about these statements?

There's still time to play the Major Golf Challenge- https://933kjr.iheart.com/content/2025-04-03-the-2025-majors-golf-challenge-us-open-edition/ :30- It's Trade Deadline Month Day! We have focused a lot on the offensive needs for the Mariners, but they also need a bullpen piece, so today we take a look at Twins relievers Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran. Both are ready to make arbitration money, so it seems highly likely that the Twins would look to sell them. Duran added to your lineup would really be something! Brash, Duran and Muni… yes please! His salary won't get in the way and you'd have 2 more years of control. Jax doesn't have the speed of Duran, but he has 66 strikeouts in 41 innings and seems to be improving every month. Makes less money with the same amount of control. :45- It's like the MLB has answered all of Chuck's prayers… well, most of them. He just has a couple more requests and then he's done!
