Mariners Moose Tracks, 1/30/21: Nolan Arenado, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Eddie Rosario

Good morning everyone! Let’s get you the latest from around baseball.

In Mariners news...

• Alright, this graphic is pretty awesome.

• The Mariners announced several moves within the front office.

Around the league...

• The Cardinals have agreed to a deal with the Rockies to acquire Nolan Arenado. At the moment I’m writing this, we’re still waiting for details on the return for Colorado, but it isn’t expected to be anything substantial considering the salary St. Louis is taking on.
• Griffey’s got a new job at the Commissioner’s Office.

• Dennis Young at The New York Daily News wrote about Griffey’s potential impact in the position.
• It was a big day for free agent outfield signings, as the Cubs agreed to a deal with Joc Pederson.
• Eddie Rosario signed a one-year pact with Cleveland, allowing him to stay in the division.
• In non-outfielder news...

• Infielder Daniel Murphy has decided to retire.
• Craig Edwards announced that he is leaving Fangraphs to join the MLBPA.
• It wouldn’t make much sense for him to be anywhere else.

• Wilson Ramos has landed in Detroit, signing a one-year contract with the Tigers.
