Mariners Moose Tracks, 12/20/17: Mariners FanFest, Tim Lincecum, and Marlins Man

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a pretty quiet day in baseball. The Yu Darvish news has slowed down some, although reports indicate he’s planning on meeting with the two Texas teams soon. We haven’t heard anything from the M’s on that front, so we can only assume they’re not interested right now. We’ll see how it develops. Otherwise, here are some other links to get your Wednesday started.
