Podcast appearances and mentions of victor robles

The Mariners got another sweep and we hate to say it, but the piggyback worked again… There are still people who are hating on the piggyback, but why? It worked. The M's gave up only 2 runs and got the win in extra innings without using their bullpen, so what's to hate? Don't worry haters, there's hope on the horizon as the team will go to a 6-man rotation for the next two rotations. :30- Mariners Morning After Victor Robles walked it off for the M's in the 10th, his first career walk-off. The Mariners are now 2 games above .500 for the first time this season and sit 2.5 games ahead of the A's in the AL West after their 2nd sweep in a row. :45- Could today be the day AJ Brown gets traded to New England?

Headlines and Draftmas Catalog Today, we're taking a look at some of the wide receivers available in the draft. Will any of them draw the Seahawks' eye? :30- ABCs of the Mariners Chuck is using the ABC's to propose a trade… X is for Expectations: The Mariners have expectations to go to the World Series this year and they aren't letting a 4-9 start get in the way of that. The Chicago Cubs also have eyes on the World Series prize, but they have a lot of injuries to their starting rotation and that could make them excellent trade partners. Soooo, Chuck is trading Luis Castillo and Victor Robles for Ian Happ and Javier Assad or Ben Brown. You keep your pitching depth and improve your defense in left field. Y is for Year: Happ only has a year on his contract, but that could work in your benefit. Z is for Zen Garden: no increased payroll (actually decreases), frees up Hancock and adds depth to bullpen, potential starting depth if needed as well. You've improved your defense and eliminated a platoon, plus you free up money for next year when Anderson and Sloane might come up. :45- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers - There's rumors that there will be a lot of trade activity in this draft. It is a down year, so wouldn't that heighten the opportunity to package some picks up and trade for that one special player? - The Seahawks are being linked to Chris Johnson, a CB out of SDSU.

Fantasy Baseball Live – August 24, 2025 @ 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review of Weekend GamesAdditional Questions:1.Five young kids that we might see soon. Your thoughts for picking up:1)JJ Wetherholt (3B/2B/SS, STL) – The Cardinals have played him at third base seven times this month, and he's been on and off second base this season.2)Spencer Jones (OF, NYY) – He's tied for the lead in home runs in the minor leagues with 32.3)Jonah Tong (RHP, NYM) – Word coming out of New York is this might happen sooner rather than later.4)Payton Tolle (LHP, Bos) – Pitching to a 3.04 ERA across High, Double and Triple-A. He has 133 Ks and 23 walks in 92.1 IP. His fastball topped out at 99 MPH in Friday's start.5)Robby Snelling (LHP, Mia) – Fastball is up to 97 MPH from the left side and is pitching to a 2.73 ERA across Double and Triple-A this season. 2.Nestor Cortes pitched a one-hitter against the Dodgers on Saturday. What? His fastball averaged 90.1 MPH (T 92). Old school baseball?. Really???3.The Mariners released Dylan Moore, who started the season strong (.290, 7 HRs, 13 SB) through mid-May, then cooled off, lost his spot, and now he's cut. Is there anything here if he gets picked up by another MLB team?a.Victor Robles gets reinstated after throwing his bat at a pitcher in a Triple-A game. He takes Moore's spot on the roster. He was a sexy draft pick this season, but a shoulder injury has cost him most of the season, and then, of course, the issue in Triple-A.4. I know Nick Kurtz has the ROY award practically wrapped up in the American League, but will Colson Montgomery receive some votes? In just 41 games, he's hit 12 home runs with 34 RBIs. The 12 home runs are fourth in baseball among all rookies, and the 34 RBIs rank 12th. The 11 players ahead of him have all played twice as many games, with some nearly three times as many. BTW, he's hitting .229 with 44 strikeouts in 41 games (28% K-Rate, 7% BB-Rate) with a poor chase rate.5.What does going 4 for 15 in your first four professional games get you? An 8-year, $67 million contract. That's what Samuel Basallo signed on Friday. It's a deal similar to what Jackson Chourio signed before the start of the 2024 (8-year, $87 million or 30% more). A good deal of the Orioles? What about Basallo?a.Now that he should be up for good (although Kristian Campbell might disagree), how do the Orioles use him? b.Does he get enough at-bats at catcher to retain eligibility this season or at least get it in April of 2026?c.Would the Orioles consider trading Adley Rutschman?
