Mariners Moose Tracks, 11/25/19: Joe Rizzo, Travis d’Arnaud, and Andrew Friedman

Good morning everyone! As usual, it was a pretty slow Sunday in news for baseball. With the work week kicking off today, we might see more rumblings during the week. Here is some news to hold you over this morning...

In Mariners news...

• This Mariners prospect is putting the work in.

Around the league...

• The Braves signed backstop Travis d’Arnaud to a two-year deal.
• The Dodgers have — unsurprisingly — opted to extend the contract of executive Andrew Friedman.
• This would be huge if true: Major League Baseball is planning to eliminate blackouts for those who have chosen to cut the cord.
• Astros outfielder Josh Reddick successfully underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to be healthy in time for Opening Day.
• As the stove heats up, reports suggest the Cubs may choose to pursue star infielder Whit Merrifield in trade talks with the Royals.

Anders’ picks...

• Kentucky head men’s basketball coach John Calipari apparently doesn’t know the age of his own daughter.
