Mariners Moose Tracks, 6/22/24: Gregory Santos, Andrew McCutchen, and Guillermo Heredia
I’m still sad we never got Cutch as a Mariner.
Hello everyone! While we wait for the M’s to get off the schneid, let’s dive into the latest.
In Mariners news...
- According to Will Sammon, Patrick Mooney, and Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic, the Mariners plan to be aggressive in adding offense at the deadline — and money isn’t expected to be an issue in their plans.
- The Mariners really could use a healthy Gregory Santos...
Gregory Santos will throw a live BP tomorrow in Miami.

- Joe Veyera bomb!
The Mariners have signed outfielder Lolo Sanchez to a minor league contract and assigned him to Double-A Arkansas, per his MiLB profile. The 25-year-old was the headliner in Pittsburgh's 2015 international class. https://t.co/mhgnDjHFxF pic.twitter.com/gPtJdmDrtO

Around the league...
- Angels lefty Patrick Sandoval exited his start yesterday with forearm tightness.
- Astros right-hander Jake Bloss, who was making his MLB debut yesterday, was pulled from his outing with an apparent injury.
- Dan Szymborski checks in on the stars of the 2016 Cubs, who are reaching the end of their respective primes.
- Andrew McCutchen, the active career leader in games played, plans to continue playing beyond the 2024 season. I wonder if this is because the Pirates might be competitive next season and he wants one last run at a World Series.
- Carlos Santana played in his 2,000th career game yesterday, making him just the 251st player in MLB history to achieve the feat.
- We miss you, Guillermo! Hope you’re having fun in the KBO.
