Mariners Moose Tracks, 7/7/24: Mitch Haniger, Bo Naylor, and Yordan Alvarez
It’s Sunday, and if it’s... wait where’s Nick?
In Mariners news...
- Seby Zavala has once again been put in the contraption - I mean DFA’d - to make room for Hancock’s start yesterday.
- Mitch hit a T-Mo milestone last night:
Mitch Haniger's 57th career home run at @TMobilePark ties him with Robinson Canó for 5th-most in ballpark history.

- Apparently the Mariners are the best team in the league at not making “mistakes.”
#MLB Here's a radical concept--make fewer mistakes than the other team, and you might do all right. Note the reversed y-axis, and read how I define mistakes. Pop the pic to see it better. pic.twitter.com/xzuODB0grw

Around the league...
- The Mets’ recent Grimace surge has seemingly come at the cost of the Yankees.
- Patrick Ellington at BP did a deep dive on Bo Naylor and his rise through the Guardians system. ($$$)
- Looks like Houston’s woes may return. Yordan Alvarez is struggling with knee inflamation.
Yordan Alvarez discussing his knee injury: “My knee is pretty inflamed right now at the moment. I got hit the same spot there a couple of weeks ago, and the inflammation of that one hadn’t fully gone away. My knee’s in a lot of pain right now, but we’ll see how I feel tomorrow.” pic.twitter.com/slHFnGkv7r
