One person who really disliked the comments made by Jerry Dipoto was our friend Joe Fann who joins Salk for his weekly appearance to discuss the strategy behind how the Mariners choose to spend money and why he believes it is wrong. Our other Friday guest Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIRO) joins Salk in-studio to break down the Seahawks recent stumbles, if Sunday's game is a must-win, who he wants the Seahawks to target in the draft and an update on his son Gee Scott Jr at Ohio State.

The conversation surrounding the Mariners spending strategy on free agents continues and Salk's main point continues to be that the team shouldn't lock themselves into a long-term contract with a big name when it won't make sense down the road. Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer joins Salk to share her insights and beliefs on the Mariners offseason and how she believes the team can (and should) navigate free agency. Salk wonders if this Rams game is a “must win” for the Seahawks because a loss would make him wonder of they are still serious about the playoffs.

The winning ways of the Kraken continued last night as Matty Beniers scores the game-winner 7 seconds into OT over the Capitals, now just a couple points out of 1st place in the Pacific Division and Salk thinks Seattle is having the best luck with sports rookies right now between Julio, Tariq, and Beniers. We revisit yesterday's Jerry Dipoto conversation because Mariners fans were fired up after hearing what they believed to be a signal that the Mariners are not spending enough.

We react to what Jerry Dipoto told us about wanting to save money for deals with guys like Kirby, Gilbert and Raleigh in the near future. Then, we hear from Gossip Guy on Russell Wilson's b-day party attendance and Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked.

Brock asked - what if 5 years ago Schneider would have traded Russ and got a Top 5 pick to take Josh Allen? What if they went young instead of paying Bennett, Marshawn and Bobby their second (and third) contracts? Ultimately, have Bobby and Russ made Seahawk fans re-think the calculus of holding on to players too long and the benefit that can be gained if you love them early? Mariners President of Baseball Ops Jerry Dipoto joins Brock & Salk for his weekly conversation to break down where the M's stand this offseason and what we can expect moving forward.
