Mariners Moose Tracks, 10/24/21: The Atlanta Braves, Jon Gray, and Bill Walton

Good morning everyone! Here are some links to kick off your Sunday.

In playoff news...

• Eddie Rosario came through for Atlanta once again, propelling the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers and punching their ticket to the World Series.

In Mariners news...

• Mike Salk at 710 ESPN notes that the Mariners have been in contact with Mitch Haniger regarding his article in The Players’ Tribune. Hopefully that leads to the team spending this offseason and possibly even an extension for the outfielder.
• A reminder that once you get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

Around the league...

• Right-handed starter Jon Gray has reportedly rejected an extension offer from the Rockies.
• Regardless of how the Astros fare in the World Series, Dusty Baker has no plans to retire.

Anders’ picks...

• Bill Walton remains unhinged.

• A whole host of Seattle legends were in the house for the Kraken’s first-ever home game last night.
