Kicking off the weekend with some links.
Good morning all and happy Saturday! Here’s what’s happening in baseball right now.
In Mariners news...

- It appears we have some musical talent in the clubhouse!
It was Harry Ford on the sax. M’s had a concert in their morning meeting, Penn Murfee and Pete Woodworth on guitars, I believe Prelander Berroa on drums. Suarez sang “My Heart Will Go On,” heard it was Crawford on the reggae number (good). https://t.co/gEmF1gnWFM

Around the league...
- Levi Weaver at The Athletic reports that upon his retirement, Taylor Hearn of the Rangers plans to return to the family rodeo. ($)
- It seems this man will simply never get back to the baseball field...you can’t help but feel bad for the guy who has gone through numerous recovery processes only to get hurt again.
