Good morning, Camden Chatters.
With the Orioles off last night, my baseball attention turned to the West Coast — specifically Seattle, where it was one of most exhilarating days in recent memory for Mariners fans. The club called up not one but two highly-touted prospects to make their MLB debuts simultaneously: mega-talented outfielder Jarred Kelenic, the fourth-best prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, and right-hander Logan Gilbert, ranked No. 28. For a club that entered the night with an uninspiring 18-19 record — not to mention a 20-year postseason drought, the longest in professional sports — the infusion of two exciting young wunderkinds onto their roster provided a jolt of electricity for Seattle sports fandom.
