I’ve got the MLB Trade Rumors alert application on my phone, which means I get a notification every single time something “happens” in the world of baseball. Sometimes, I get that notification multiple times. Sometimes, a day after the event actually occurs. But that’s not the point. The point is that I’m bombarded all day long with chatter about baseball, but so far, very little about the Mariners. Lots of talk and frustration online because everyone wants something to happen, but next to no action, unless you count this. Or this. I don’t, really. I understand that Dan Cortes is a nice guy, and that’s fine; but he never really impressed me very much as a pitcher.
