Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/15/19: Yusei Kikuchi, Max Kepler, and Terrence Ross

Good morning everybody and happy Friday! Here are some links for you as you round out your week.

In Mariners news...

• I missed this yesterday...happy belated birthday Dave!

• Yusei Kikuchi is looking good!

• Ryan Divish checked in on what Dan Altavilla has been up to this offseason.

Around the league...

• Another player comes out against the opener.

• This is kind of interesting, and much different than I thought it would look.

• The Twins have agreed to a long-term contract extension with shortstop Jorge Polanco.
• The team also agreed to a long-term deal with Max Kepler.
• This should come as no surprise, but the Blue Jays do not plan to open the season with Vlad Guerrero, Jr. on their major league roster.
• I guess we’ll take some news over no news: The Padres met with Manny Machado last week.

Anders’ picks...

• I know some people get mad when I post UW men’s basketball links here but it’s MY PICK so I’m gonna do it. Here’s a former Husky doing what he does best.

• These are super cool, even if they’re just basically modernized cross-stitching.
