In Mariners news...

Greg Johns talked about the ETA of top Mariners prospects and other questions in his latest mailbag.
It’s a shame he that never worked out for the Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners have released RHP Max Povse.

Povse was the primary return in a deal that sent former #6 overall pick Alex Jackson C/RF to the Atlanta Braves in 2017.

Povse underwent shoulder surgery last April and is still recovering.

But as some leave, others enter.

The Mariners also signed minor league catchers Justin Novak and Ryan Scott.

Novak was an undrafted free agent out of the University of Virginia. He has played catcher sparingly.

Scott spent 2017 and 2018 in the Mariners organization. He'll likely play 2020 between AA and AAA.

Around the league...

Congratulations to the Hall of Fame Class of 2020!

Jeter (99.7 percent) and Walker (76.6) are the newest Hall of Famers. Jeter misses being unanimous by one vote.

Ugh, just awful news for Dustin Pedroia, who has been trying to come back since his last full season in 2016.

Breaking news: #RedSox 2B Dustin Pedroia has suffered what sources say was a significant setback with his left knee.

His availability for at least spring training is questionable. Pedroia is discussing his options with his family, agents, and the Sox.

These hats are pretty sweet!

BRAND NEW
We figured out what George Washington would look like celebrating a Nats World Series win. And we put it on a hat.
Hint: he'd be wearing ski goggles and throwing around champagne!
*Hats are available for pre-order ONLY.

Anders’ picks...

Uhh...

Barstool Sports created a fake Barstool Sports Union twitter account to “uncover whether any employees supported efforts to unionize“ by soliciting DMs....this is truly insane and outrageous https://t.co/z8RLrlN4DW
