Happy Father’s Day! If you’re anything like me, Father’s Day has come out of nowhere. I have no card or anything yet, which I feel pretty bad about; however, I shall provide him with the gift of the links. That should suffice.
In Mariners News...
- Bryan Evans is rejoining the Mariners organization after 11 starts in Mexico. Also, I can’t decide if Evans looks more like Nick Vincent of Joe Beimel.
Starter Bryan Evans is heading back to the Mariners organization after a stint in the Mexican League. Evans, who made six starts in Arkansas and one in Tacoma last year, has gone 3-3 with a 4.82 ERA in 11 starts with Bravos de León. CC: @MiLBMariners https://t.co/aUrMWm2LjF

- Nick Vincent is nearing a return to the bullpen.
Nick Vincent (on DL with strained groin) threw a bullpen session and says it went well. He’s ready to head out on rehab assignment and could rejoin Mariners in middle of upcoming east coast trip. So bullpen reinforcements on way.

16th-rder Holden Laws' bonus from @Mariners is $200k ($75k vs pool). North Carolina HS LHP, lot of projection in 6-2/166 frame, touches 90 mph w/fastball. North Carolina State recruit.
