Mariners going to do anything else?

Steve Adams

4:08

Could still dredge up a right-handed-hitting catcher but I don't think they're doing much more of significance. Martin Maldonado would be the biggest plausible thing left for them to add

Yu Darvish

Looks like I'm bouncing back, doesn't it?

Steve Adams

4:10

I mean, he seems healthy, but I wouldn't read much into anything beyond that. I'm optimistic on Darvish, but there's nothing you can really glean from a handful of spring innings outside the fact that he's healthy enough to step on a mound.

Tim literally just posted the first edition of next year's 2019-20 power rankings:

Does Darnaud have options left? If so might the mets option him and choose mesoraco over him because of the degrom relationship?

Steve Adams

4:12

He has over five years of service time, meaning he can't be optioned without consent.

4:13

If the Mets carry Mesoraco, which is possible, they'll just carry three catchers.

Kyler Murray is 5'10.125'

Cahill was throwing 95 yesterday, Harvey is throwing tomorrow, Angels could have two big time sleepers if both are back to their health

Steve Adams

4:16

I'm a big Cahill guy -- just needs to stay healthy. Harvey I'm less excited by, based on last year's results anyway. The ceiling is huge if you want to dream on a return to his Dark Knight form, but after Tommy John and TOS, I'm just not sure I see real cause to think that's possible.

Ok, I have to wrap up for the week. Jeff will chat on Thursday 2pm -- Mark this Sunday and Tim on Monday. I'm on Twitter @Adams_Steve

Enjoy the rest of your week!
