Summary
The Mariners are being picked to win the American League across many outlets heading into the year, and Salk discusses how different this is for them. They then bring on Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac to get his insight on the details of the JSN extension and the ripple effect that could have on future Seahawks contracts. In Blue 88, Michael Bumpus calls in to dive into the amount of money the Seahawks have spent on their WR room this offseason, what the reaction in the building will be to JSN's extension and who should be the Seahawks next priority (aside from Devon Witherspoon).

| 0:51.4 | This is arguably the best team in the American League, and this is a team that |
| 0:57.4 | should compete for a World Series. We've heard that thrown around before. Occasionally, |
