Good morning, everyone, and happy Sunday! We have a late batch of links for you to enjoy before we close the book on the 2024 Mariners.
In Mariners news:
- Justin Turner delivered the walk-off knock last night, and it’s looking like he wants to stick around in 2025.
Justin Turner: "Hopefully I've left a pretty good impact on them this year. And you know, who knows what happens. Maybe I'll be around to keep trying to help guys grow and learn and get better and make a run next year. "

Around the league:
- Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim’s season is over, and he himself revealed that he will be having shoulder surgery over the offseason. It’s a blow not only to the Padres, but to Kim’s potential earnings this offseason, as he is set to decline his end of the mutual option for 2025.
- What a moment for Nationals outfielder Stone Garrett.
Just over a year ago, @Nationals outfielder Stone Garrett suffered a broken leg.

- Tim Keown at ESPN wrote at length about the A’s final game in Oakland, and all of the mixed emotions that came with their 3-2 win over the Rangers.
- The Cardinals will reportedly listen on trade offers for Sonny Gray, as a second consecutive season of missing the playoffs has kicked off speculation that major changes are coming to the organization.
Connor’s pick:
Have you ever seen something and been nearly perfectly split between “that’s hilarious” and “that’s horrible”? I definitely had this reaction seeing this.
