Mariners Moose Tracks, 10/10/17: Guillermo Heredia, Joe Girardi, and The Last Jedi

Hello folks! Yesterday we saw our first teams eliminated from the ALDS/NLDS as the Astros advanced with a win over the Red Sox. Additionally, the Dodgers knocked out the Diamondbacks in three. The Yankees and Indians will head to a Game 5. Things are getting interesting. Here’s what else you need to know today.

In Mariners news...

• Get well soon, Guillermo!

• The Mariners have nominated Nelson Cruz for the Hank Aaron Award.

Around the league...

• Although the Red Sox are out of the postseason now, Rafael Devers made history with an inside-the-park home run.
• This is an interesting development for the Mets-Nationals rivalry. The Mets get to move from Las Vegas, an undesirable location for them given the distance. But now the Nats are displaced and likely scrambling to find a new farm team that isn’t Las Vegas.

• No surprise here.

Anders’ picks...

• IT HAPPENED. And now I’m done voluntarily watching Star Wars trailers until the movie comes out.

• The ESPN vs. Chris Petersen war continues.
