In Mariners news...
- LL alum and Baseball Prospectus contributor Michael Ajeto writes about Luis Castillo’s changeup, and why it isn’t what it used to be.
- Hope you watched yesterday’s game because it’ll be the last you’ll see of Julio in a Mariners uniform for a few weeks.
This is expected to be Julio Rodriguez's last Cactus League game before heading to Miami for the WBC. Most of the players are leaving on Monday for their respective camps.

- Feel good thread for your Sunday.
I want to tell you a story about how baseball changed someone's life in less than a year. It's a story about Argentina baseball, and how the universe conspires in mysterious ways to fulfill our dreams. This is the story of Andres Kim. pic.twitter.com/Mcm83PmbRc

Nick’s pick...
- The debate around whether or not AI can create art is officially settled. It turns out that AI can in fact create art, but only if it is coming up with a slogan for the 2023 Philadelphia Phillies. “This Team is Awesome and We Have the Scanned Documents to Prove It” goes so unbelievably hard I would consider getting it tattooed on my body. Honorable mentions go to the Padres with “Welcome to Hell and Like It” and the Diamondbacks with “You Gotta Beat ‘Em, Or You Can’t.”
For the fourth consecutive season, I had the AI create a motto for every MLB team. pic.twitter.com/DE05AkuqnB
