Good morning everyone! Let’s check out the latest from around baseball.

In Mariners news...

• In some not-so-great news for the M’s, Tom Murphy has been shut down from all baseball activity while he recovers from a thumb fracture.
• Luke Weaver, we hardly knew ye: the right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Yankees.
• Congratulations, Dan!

Around the league...

• Well, the Mets finally got their guy: the organization announced the hiring of David Stearns as the team’s new General Manager.
• After being demoted to the minors once again, Alek Manoah is unlikely to pitch again this season per reports.
• The Padres have placed left-hander Rich Hill on waivers, hoping to save a few bucks by seeing if a contending team is in sore enough need for pitching depth.
• Are they going to be forced to give Nick Castellanos a Gold Glove?
