Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. The AM radio waves in the Northwest have been full of the dulcet tones of Rick Rizzs and company the last couple weeks and we are now fully settled into Spring Training. As discussed on the most recent Meet at the Mitt podcast, the roster is more or less set already which takes some of the usual drama and excitement out of Spring Training, but it’s still fun to watch the young prospects and see how they fare against MLB and MLB-adjacent quality pitching.
Before we get into some irresponsible hot takes, I wanted to highlight an upcoming event that is the closet thing to Mariners FanFest that the team has organized since 2019.
