Good morning folks! I hope you all had a pleasant weekend. There wasn’t a whole lot of news to cover from yesterday, but here’s a light dosage of reading to get your day started.
In Mariners news...
- Bobby DeMuro profiles Darin Gillies, Matt Festa, and Art Warren — a trio of righty pitchers the Mariners sent to the Arizona Fall League.
Around the league...
- Kevin Kaduk at Yahoo! Sports has this cool story on Kike Hernandez trying to live up to his father’s legacy.
- Good for Joe for being classy.
Joe Girardi waited inside an office in #Astros’ clubhouse to congratulate A.J. Hinch. “I know it’s your first time through. Go win it all.”

- The Mets will hire Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway as the team’s next manager.
- Corey Seager is expected to return to action with the Dodgers in the World Series after suffering a back sprain.
Anders’ picks...
- In the NBA, the Phoenix Suns fired their head coach just three games into the season. That seems pretty extreme.
- This is 100% moronic.
