MLB: Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners

Hello folks! Let’s get to the links for this Thursday morning.

In Mariners news...

It’s really cool to see these guys back in M’s uniforms.

Yeah, that's Franklin Gutierrez and Ichiro Suzuki watching batting practice together behind the cage today in Peoria. Two great outfielders now helping coach the Mariners this spring. pic.twitter.com/pI5cbxy1vN

The Mariners picked up another young player.

The Mariners appear to have made a new international signing, with an Instagram post indicating they've added pitcher Anyelo Ovando out of the Dominican Republic. More on him here: https://t.co/xRCdMqy3CL pic.twitter.com/ZWN2glgD2Q

Ryan Divish spoke to Kyle Seager, who understands he could be dealt to another club in the near future.

Around the league...

I completely forgot this was a thing.

#Rays Sternberg "totally" knows fans remain skeptical of Montreal plan: "Until we get this done, + when we get this done, I would anticipate, people will look back + say why was this not done years before. I truly believe ... this is going to be a model for all of pro sports.''

Well these are fun ideas.

#Rays announce new ticket plans:
1. Ballpark Pass—Standing room ticket to as many games as you want for $36 per month.

Second #Rays plan - more interesting:
Rays Win Pack: For $99 fans select any four Rays regular season home games. If Rays win those 4, fan gets voucher to choose another home game for free. They win that, pick another. On and on until Rays lose or season ends

Chris Collazo at Baseball America has another MLB mock draft up, which has the Mariners taking UCLA outfielder Garrett Mitchell. ($)
An interesting approach.

David Ross is committing to Kris Bryant as his lead off man.

Buckle up, folks.
