Mariners Moose Tracks, 3/10/23: Carlos Rodón, Yuli Gurriel, and Albert Pujols

Good morning one and all and happy Friday! Here’s what’s going on in baseball.

In Mariners news...

• Ryan Divish at The Seattle Times wrote about all of the exciting young arms in Mariners camp this year.

Around the league...

• The Yankees got even more bad news with regards to the health of their pitching staff as it was announced recent signee Carlos Rodón is suffering from a forearm strain and will not be ready for Opening Day. The Yanks seem like a prime candidate to acquire some pitching depth heading into the season, and maybe the Mariners are a good fit.
• Rodón isn’t the only Yankees arm who will start the season on the injured list.

• After weeks of rumors that the two were talking about a deal, the Miami Marlins have agreed to a contract with first baseman Yuli Gurriel.
• The Czech Republic team really is a marvel: they made it into the tournament even though most of the players have regular day jobs. ESPN has the story.
• Albert Pujols is interested in becoming a coach in the future, but not for a few years.
