The Emerald City Sportscast with Dan Viens Dan Viens

Jason Churchill of prospectinsider.com and the Baseball Things podcast joins me to recap the last 4 years as the Mariners rebuild comes full circle with their first playoff appearance in 21 years. 

**Jason and I look back on our show from the start of the rebuild in November of 2018

**What did it look like then vs. now?

**How did we get to this point?

**What does this say about Jerry Dipoto as a GM and Scott Servais as Manager?

**Can the M's beat the Astros in the ALDS?

So the Mariners went and did a thing, getting the best available starting pitcher on the trade market.... my thoughts:

How good is he? 

Did the Mariners pay too much to get him? 

How does this impact the roster this year, and next? 

The cost of prospects vs. proven talent. 

Marte and Arroyo were good, but are their replacements going to be even better? (HINT: They're already in the organization)

The Seahawks stay put and select Mississippi St. LT Charles Cross with the 9th pick in this year's draft. 

**Who is Charles Cross

**My thoughts on the pick

**Why was this pick so important? 

**Will he start from Day 1? 

**What do they do next? Full LIVE mock draft simulation for rounds 2-7

Happy draft week! Lets dig in!

**Not one, but TWO LIVE mock drafts for the Seahawks using two different simulations. 

**Do the Hawks go QB early? 

**Left or right tackle? 

**Franchise RB in the 3rd, whaaaaaaat? 

**Which one do you like better? Let me know! @SeahawksForever

It's almost draft time. Let's MOCK!!!!!


**My full, LIVE, 7-round Seahawks mock draft. Do they take their QB of the future now? 

**The Mariners are 6-5. What have I seen so far that I love.... and hate? 

**Is this the year the M's overtake the Astros? 

And much more!!

Longtime Seahawks writer Chris Cluff joins me on the first day of NFL Free Agency

**Does the Seahawks approach to free agency change now that they're traded Russell Wilson?

**Any big names in the offing?

**Which positions are the greatest need?

**How do you find that next QB? Do you go all-in this year or wait until 2023?

**Pay DK Metcalf or trade him?
