Chuck’s Trade X’s and O’s

Taylor Ward- doesn’t cost you a lot nor prohibit you from making other moves
Isaac Paredes & Jason Adams- TB looks like they’ll be selling- will cost Ford or Locklear and RP as well
(Randy Arozarena- Chuck has been big on him in the past, but he’s struggling this year. Difficult to get along with. Could he improve by deadline? Has a reputation for coming up big in big moments, so he’s not off Chuck’s list entirely)
Vlad Guerrero Jr- Toronto is looking more and more like sellers- it will cost you
Ryan McMann- Rockies 3rd baseman with 4 more years on his deal- add in Justin Lawrence RP
Louis Robert- on IL with the White Sox, so you wait for him to get healthy. Not a great Clubhouse guy, questionable effort off the field.

:45- Seahawks OTAs and how things are different with Mike MacDonald at the helm.

Headlines and a landmark NCAA ruling.

Pat Chun joined us yesterday to talk about this before the ruling came down


:30- ICYMI Kenneth Walker joined Softy & Dick this week


:45- The Mariners head to DC and will reunite with their old pal Jesse Winker

- Say goodbye to the chain-gang?
- Lamar Jackson sheds weight
- Kenneth Walker joined Softy & Dick yesterday- what kind of an RB is he heading into year 3?

Pat Chun- the UW AD joins Chuck and Buck for the first time since taking over for Troy Dannen.
Pat discusses the move across the state and how he’s settling in on Montlake

:30- ABCs of the Mariners
- K: is for killer instinct- does this Mariners team have it?
- L: is for lineup- there’s been a change; Julio has been moved to 6th in the batting order. We L for Love It.
- M: is for Mike Baumann- he was brought in from Baltimore to help the bullpen. Cody Bolton gets sent down.
- N: is for No Way! Chuck saw something yesterday in the Mets/Guardians game that he couldn’t believe.

:45- The NBA on TNT will come to an end after the 2024-25 season, but that doesn’t mean it’s over-over, right?

Headlines and Gregg Bell (Tacoma News Tribune/933KJR) joins us to give the latest from OTAs and what he’s seeing from Mike Macdonald and Ryan Grubb so far.

:30- Mariners are scheduled to play this morning at 9:35, but heavy rain in New York could delay things.
The lineup is out and Scott looks to be shaking things up, with Julio moved down to 6th in the order. He isn’t producing, so the move makes sense and hopefully it wakes him up.
Would you want Vlad Guerrero Jr on the Mariners? The Blue Jays are struggling and could be sellers at the deadline. What is his value right now?
You could have Vlad for 2 postseason runs, versus Pete Alonso, for only one postseason run.

:45- Ant Edwards admitted that he and the Timberwolves were tired after their loss to the Mavs last night.
Why do we have a problem with athletes being honest? Isn’t that what we want?
