Happy Thanksgiving! Perhaps Jerry Dipoto will surprise us with another holiday deal. But until then, here’s some news and notes to get your day going.

In Mariners news...

• The grind doesn’t stop for Jerry.

Around the league...

• The Rangers made a couple of re-tread hires, bringing in former Royals GM Dayton Moore as an adviser and Mike Maddux as their pitching coach.
• The Red Sox acquired infielder Hoy Park from the Pirates in a minor deal.
• Against elite pitching, it’s an accomplishment to be merely a below-average hitter, writes Davy Andrews at Fangraphs.
• Dan Szymbroski fired up the ZiPS machine and analyzed the early projections for 2023.
• Chris Gilligan at Fangraphs wonders what a resurgence for Cody Bellinger would look like.
• Bryce Harper officially underwent Tommy John surgery, shelving him until at least the All-Star break in 2023.
