MLB: Spring Training-New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays — Yes, this Vlad Guerrero. Not the other one. This could get confusing.

Good morning everybody and happy Monday! Here are some links to get your day started.

In Mariners news...

He’s not a guy I expected to get cut from camp this early, but alright.

Roster move, Mariners option Joey Curletta to AAA Tacoma. Camp roster now at 61.

Around the league...

Yesterday was exhilarating for right-hander Xavier Moore, who was traded twice in the span of one day.
Ah yes, the getting-to-know-you stage.

You may not know #Dbacks catcher @theineman13 yet, but give him a few minutes and he'll blow your mind just like he did @RobbieRay's.

The Angels have considered offering Mike Trout a 10-year, $350 million deal. They’re gonna have to do better than that.
So I’d say Bryce Harper was a hit in Philly.

According to Fanatics, Bryce Harper broke the record for the best 24 hours of sales for a jersey launch for any player in any sport.

A little weird if they really don’t have a name for him yet.

Closer look at Cleveland’s new mascot. I don’t think it has a name yet so let’s hear your suggestions pic.twitter.com/YsAphXPWWh

Bill Baer notes the hypocrisy that is Major League Baseball using Vlad Guerrero, Jr. as a marketing tool while he’s still being forced to play in the minors.

Anders’ picks...

This is just absurd.

this is the most disrespectful thing ive ever seen pic.twitter.com/uzADcolEBN
