Hello folks! Here’s a fresh batch of links to get your work week started.

In Mariners news...

Former top Mariners prospect Adam Jones had some encouraging words for Kyle Lewis.

I believe his future is as bright as he wants. I’ve been watching and his overall game is purely explosive. Continue the grind KLewis and continue to make the adjustments. Also never forget to show that massive smile. Gotta have fun playing a great game!!
