Summary
The guys go through what it would take for Julio to win the AL MVP this season. They also break down Cal’s stats from last year that still did not warrant the AL MVP. // Need to Know: We got to see Bryan Woo get his first start yesterday and he looks like he has gained the most confidence year over year on this roster. The NFL combine has started and Mike Macdonald and company are gearing up. The Kraken lost last night, and it was a rough game. // Mariners Star Julio Rodriguez joins the show to recap his feelings after falling short in the ALCS, his preparation for the upcoming season, learning that he cannot please everyone and saying no, and on the bonding between players during spring training.

| 0:01.4 | From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Buehurt just punched me in the kidney. We're going to see you on the morning. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of done, though. Now here are your hosts, Brock Ewwerd and Mike Salk. Hello! |
| 0:47.5 | Hey, hey, hey, hey, Brock and Salt, Seattle Sports on 710, CELSports.com. |
| 0:51.6 | Shannon will be in with us maybe around 9 this morning, which would be great. |
| 0:53.4 | She'd just stop by, sit high. |
| 1:28.1 | I love seeing Shannon every morning. We'll have Julio Rodriguez. Did she bring more a second round of coffee? Yeah. Wow. We're two coffee morning, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I did that yesterday, too. Did you? Yeah. Makes sense. Julio Rodriguez at 7.30. And we will also have, I think, Bryce Miller at 8.30. That's the hope. We're going to work some things around tomorrow, I should point out. Ryan Sloan, who was awesome. We taped with him yesterday. He was great. Justin Hollander, who we taped with also, he was great. And I think Kevin Seitzer, who we loved talking to last year. Yes, tomorrow. That should be tomorrow as well. |

| 1:55.4 | So don't expect a question on this. |
| 2:00.6 | But it did get me thinking anyway about the idea of Julio Rodriguez the MVP candidate. |
| 2:02.4 | What does that actually look like? |
| 2:04.4 | What does it take to win an MVP? |
| 2:07.8 | You know, by the way, he does have contractually incentives that do play into that. |
| 2:14.6 | So it's not like, oh, I don't even think about it. |
| 2:16.7 | I don't care about it. He's not playing, oh, I don't even think about it. I don't care about it. |
