MARINERS MOOSE TRACKS, 4/24/24: MITCH GARVER, JOHNNY CUETO, AND HESTON KJERSTAD
Good day friends! Let’s get the day started with some links.
In Mariners news...
- Hey, good for Mitch. This will feel sweeter when he wins one with Seattle.
Around the league...
- While we already previously knew that Angels reliever Robert Stephenson would miss the rest of the 2024 season, we now know that he is getting Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for parts of 2025 as well.
- The Rangers have added some rotation depth as they await the return of half of their starting rotation.
- Camden Chat dives into the star turn for the relatively unheralded young infielder Jordan Westburg, who may turn out to be the best of the bunch in Baltimore.
- Speaking of the O’s, they added another one of their top prospects to the big league squad in the form of outfielder Heston Kjerstad.
- Pitchers around the league weighed in on baseball’s pitcher injury epidemic in a story at ESPN.
- Perhaps they should have waited until he was done throwing his last pitch before they started this light show...also, the Mariners have been doing fancy light shows for their closers for years!
- The White Sox have been worse than you think.
