Former #Mariners OF Braden Bishop was great on the #RefuseToLose Territory podcast today, and he's a big fan of the M's hiring of Jason Kanzler.

Hot take: The Boras puns aren't funny at all.
Scott Boras on Tarik Skubal's market at the GM Meetings:
"It's very clear that there is a dominant and strong Sku-bull market... teams understand there is only one Tarik card, no doubt"
"Teams have filled their tanks and they're all clearly ready for the Skubal dive" (via @SNYtv)
Then his phone rang mid-briefing: "Just another owner begging to meet with Skubal" (@BNightengale)
The #Mets, #Padres, #Dodgers and #BlueJays are all lined up to meet with him, per @JonHeyman

Great stuff on the latest #RefuseToLose Territory podcast, as I spoke with former M's OF Braden Bishop, who gave a great opinion on what the M's are doing with the coaching staff.

The Astros do not go with Albert Pujols.
The #Mariners rival has their new man.
Brad Ausmus will become the next Astros manager, per @johngranato
Ausmus spent the last three season as Yankees bench coach. He's had two stints as a manager (Tigers from 2014-17 and Angels in 2019)

Good stuff from Ryan Divish at the GM meetings, who relayed a quartet of positive #Mariners injury updates.

Out and about today, so can put together more thoughts here:
1) I am surprised that the JP Crawford door is completely closed for the #Mariners. He wants to be back, he fits the "veteran presence" infielder the team wants. His OBP still represents a positive.
Is he willing to play as a bench player somewhere? A utility player? How much money? Things I want to know.
2) Not surprised at all the team is not bringing back Randy.
3) Am surprised to hear they are courting Suzuki, considering he'll cost as much/more than Randy AND requires giving up a comp pick.
4) Am generally surprised at the rumors we are hearing, have thought the M's would be quiet mostly until lockout.
#TridentsUp
I am surprised. A great Mariners career for JP.
The Mariners have informed J.P. Crawford that they do not plan to bring him back in 2027, multiple industry sources told The Times. st.news/48dqgiY
We all agree the #Mariners need help in the bullpen, but how many arms do they need? And what is happening to the current guys?
A quick look at the GM meetings begin:

I really don't enjoy fake trade season, and I'm not particularly good at combing through rosters finding trade fits.
Not a strength or a passion of mine.
That said: I think this is a good option and I like Gelof a lot. Does a lot, runs well, has power.
Zack Gelof at third base for the Mariners? Before you scroll past, hit play.

When @Teren_Kowatsch gets featured on MLBTradeRumors.
Tough day for #Mariners prospect Adam Smith, who took the loss on Sunday night in the Arizona Fall League All-Star Game.

So, the #Mariners reportedly had players and coaches involved in the managerial interview process, at least at the end.
Is that atypical? Apparently.
Is it a big deal? Not to me.
My thoughts, at M's Roundtable:
roundtable.io/sports/mlb/mar…
#TridentsUp #RefuseToLose
I think that we're supposed to think that is weird, but I don't have a problem with key players who are under contract long-term being involved in this process, at least near the finish line.
Naylor, Raleigh, Julio (I don't know who was involved, I'm just saying), all have at least four years on contracts remaining, so I don't have a problem with a modicum of say in the decision.
Mariners involved a select number of players in managerial search. Story, unlocked and free to read: nytimes.com/athletic/7766336…
I still think @RyanDivish could hit this.
Will the #Mariners be able to swing a trade pre-lockout?
We caught up with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney this week, who says the M's have been "poking around."
