Mariners Moose Tracks, 4/4/21: Taylor Trammell, Jonathan Lucroy, Josh Donaldson, Go Zags!

Good morning and happy Easter to those who celebrate. I took the night off last night, which turns out to have been a pretty fun night to be around, between Gonzaga and the Mariners taking a series win from the Giants. Isabelle has the recap if you too missed the game, and if you missed the Gonzaga game, here’s a 15-minute recap that is absolutely worth watching all the way through. Even if you are a basketball dum-dum like me it’s impossible not to recognize that was a game for the ages. I actually gasped out loud at the end. Aw, Marco must be so happy.

In Mariners news:

• Taylor Trammell remains a delight:

Around the league:

• Veteran catcher Jonathan Lucroy has apparently found a landing spot with the Nationals. Sure, I guess that makes sense.
• The Twins’ Josh Donaldson is headed to a 10-day IL stint with a hamstring strain.
• Former Angels pitcher (the return in the Ian Kinsler trade) Ty Buttrey has made the decision to walk away from baseball. His statement is well worth a read.
• Arizona is promoting top shortstop prospect Geraldo Perdomo. Perdomo was a real pain in the butt in the Cal League while facing the Mariners prospects and will have a nice gentle introduction to the bigs while facing Blake Snell/Walker Buehler/Yu Darvish/Clayton Kershaw/Dinelson Lamet/Trevor Bauer every other week.
• Speaking of prospects, prosecutors in Georgia have dismissed the felony marijuana charges against Padres catcher Luis Campusano.
• A Denver beer company apparently wants to buy the Rockies. Having had to write about the Rockies recently and spend time thinking about that organization, I have to say I’m all for that plan.

Kate’s pick:

I might have to retire the bird bit on Sundays because I don’t know that I can ever outdo this absolute banger of a thread. LOOK AT THESE TINY WINGED RAINBOW DINOSAURS.
