Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/27/17: Guillermo Heredia, Spring Highlights, and Oscars Mistake

Good morning everyone! For some reason, it feels like it’s been ages since I last posted here. In reality, it’s only been a couple of days. It’s strange how a super eventful weekend can feel like it lasts a week.

Spring training games continue this week which is awesome. Let’s get you all caught up on what you may have missed from yesterday.

In Mariners news...

• Marc Topkin wonders why the Mariners and Rays have had so many trades together since Jerry Dipoto took the helm in Seattle.
• Dipoto continues to say nice things about pitching prospect Andrew Moore.

• Guillermo Heredia made a lot of adjustments this offseason that could give him a new outlook in 2017.
• Here’s some highlights from yesterday’s 13-2 win over the Padres.

Around the league...

• Much like the Mariners, the Yankees are aiming to become younger and more flexible.
• Bryce Harper hit a home run into orbit yesterday.

Anders’ picks...

• The biggest news yesterday from the Oscars was that the wrong winner was announced for the Best Picture category, making for a pretty awkward on-stage moment.

• The Gonzaga men’s basketball team lost a game for the first time this season, halting any hopes of an undefeated run into the NCAA tournament.
• And here’s Nate Robinson doing Nate Robinson things.
