Good morning everybody and Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Yesterday was a remarkably quiet day in the sporting world, but here’s what you need to know...
In Mariners news...
- There was no major Mariners news yesterday. Hopefully we’ll get some today!
Around the league...
- It looks like Sonny Gray is headed to the Reds.
Reds, Yankees already have agreed on the package going for Gray, believed to include 2B prospect Shed Long and a sandwich pick. But it isn’t known how the package might be reconfigured on the chance Gray says no to the extension offer. Reds r likely confident he’ll say yes tho.
