Yesterday, veteran pitcher Wei-Yin Chen took to Facebook to post an intriguing photo of himself with the caption “Spring training is approaching, and the next stop I have long awaited is coming soon.” Taking this into consideration, Chen appears to be hinting towards a deal with the Mariners as the photo shows him sipping from a mug with a silhouette of the Seattle skyline on it.
As Lookout Landing pointed out on Twitter, Chen is holding Starbucks’ special edition Seattle Relief mug. Chen may very well just own the mug for the sake of the cause, but the curious decision to include it in a post about the future of his career just seems too on the nose to be a coincidence.
