Mariners Moose Tracks, 3/27/17: Kyle Lewis, Free Agency, and Kolten Wong

Happy Monday everyone! I suppose Mondays are seldom happy, but I hope that these links can brighten your morning if even just a little.

In Mariners news...

• The Mariners will be having yet another fedora giveaway this season.

• Edwin Diaz was his typical self yesterday, showing some emotion even though it was a spring training game.

• Kyle Lewis is making more progress! Hopefully the outfielder can hit the field as soon as possible.

Around the league...

• Mike Trout thinks minor league umpires should get some reps calling major league spring training games.
• Former Mariners reliever Mark Lowe has been placed on release waivers and will likely become a free agent.
• The Indians GM’s son accidentally spilled the beans on Francisco Lindor’s extension before it was reported.
• Free agency is dying, writes Pinstripe Alley. Teams are signing young stars to lengthy extensions more and more frequently.
• Kolten Wong is upset that the Cardinals are trying to create competition for the second base job.

Anders’ picks...

• Many UW men’s basketball players have announced their intentions to look for another team to play, but at least one starter is sticking around.
