Good morning everyone and happy Friday! Mariners baseball returns today, let’s see what else is going on around baseball.
In Mariners news...

Around the league...
- The Rockies have agreed to a minor league deal with Chris Flexen, who will do his best not too surrender a crap ton of homers in Coors.
- Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic checks in with a half dozen teams on the buy/sell bubble, wondering what they might do in the coming weeks. ($)
- Evan Drellich at The Athletic reports that 20,000 minor league players are set to receive a healthy chunk of change following the conclusion of the Senne case. ($)
- You can’t help but be happy for Elias Díaz, this is super cool.
While to some fans the All-Star Game means nothing, there are others to whom it means a lot. This is “El Bajo”, in Maracaibo, where Elías Díaz comes from. People celebrated his All-Star HR and MVP Award in the streets. He’s their pride and that moment was everything for them. pic.twitter.com/oEd6tKDTAJ
