    BREAKING MLB News: The Seattle Mariners have secured a massive offseason victory, re-signing star first baseman Josh Naylor to a major five-year contract, reportedly in the $90MM-$100MM range.

He provided a crucial offensive spark, hitting .299 with nine home runs and an .831 OPS in 54 games for Seattle, alongside a perfect 19-for-19 stolen base record. The Canadian slugger's high contact and low strikeout rate were vital to the team's success.This five-year agreement, pending a physical, is one of the longest the Mariners have handed out, signaling a strong commitment from the organization. Naylor joins Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh as players locked up long-term, solidifying the Mariners lineup and championship aspirations for the coming Major League Baseball seasons.

    PREVIEW: Seahawks Look to Keep Momentum Alive vs. Jacoby Brissett, NFC West Rivals Arizona Cardinals

    ⚔️ Week 10 Preview: Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals The Seattle Seahawks (6-2) return home to Lumen Field looking to solidify their position atop the NFC West as they take on their division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals (3-5). This Week 10 matchup is a rematch of a close Week 4 contest, which the Seahawks won 23-20 in Arizona.The Current MomentumSeahawks: Seattle is on a roll, riding a three-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant 38-14 victory in their last outing. The offense, led by Sam Darnold, is clicking, and the defense continues to be one of the best in the NFL.Cardinals: Arizona is coming off an impressive 27-17 upset win over the Cowboys, showing they can play complementary football. Veteran Jacoby Brissett is once again starting at quarterback, and the offense has seen an uptick in production with him under center.Key Matchups to Watch1. Seahawks Pass Rush vs. Jacoby BrissettThe Angle: The Seahawks' defensive front is ruthless, ranking high in both sack and pressure rate. Brissett is a capable pocket passer, but he was sacked five times in the win against Dallas and has been sacked frequently since taking over.Key Question: Can the Cardinals' offensive line hold up against a relentless Seahawks rush, featuring players like Leonard Williams and Boye Mafe, to give Brissett time to find his weapons?2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. Cardinals SecondaryThe Angle: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having an elite season and currently leads the NFL in receiving yards. The Seahawks have also added speedster Rashid Shaheed to their already talented receiving corps (including DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett).Key Question: The Cardinals' pass defense is middle-of-the-road. Can they find a way to contain Seattle's top receiving threat, or will JSN have another 100+ yard day at home?3. Jacoby Brissett and Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Seahawks SecondaryThe Angle: Brissett has developed quick chemistry with rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr., who had a career-high game last week. The Cardinals will need to be effective through the air to keep pace.Key Question: The Seahawks' secondary, even with potential injury concerns, has been strong. Who will corner Devon Witherspoon shadow? Limiting Harrison Jr. will be paramount for Seattle's defense.

  4. WOW: Rashid Shaheed TRADED to Seattle. Did the Seahawks Make the Right Move? | NFL Trade Deadline

    WOW: Rashid Shaheed TRADED to Seattle. Did the Seahawks Make the Right Move? | NFL Trade Deadline

    The Seattle Seahawks made a huge splash at the NFL Trade Deadline, securing an electrifying weapon in wide receiver and return specialist Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints. This blockbuster trade, sending 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to New Orleans, immediately vaults the Seahawks offense into an even more elite category. General Manager John Schneider's aggressive move signals that the 6-2 Seahawks are all-in on a Super Bowl push this season.The immediate question Seahawks fans are asking is: Did they make the right move? The answer, unequivocally, is yes. Shaheed is a game-changing speedster whose ability to stretch the field vertically and create separation is precisely what offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who he previously played for in New Orleans, needs. Quarterback Sam Darnold, who already leads the NFL in yards per pass attempt, gains a dynamic deep threat who can turn a short gain into a massive play.Shaheed’s career stats speak for themselves: a 2023 All-Pro punt returner and a receiver who consistently averages over 15 yards per reception. His presence will directly benefit the existing star receiving corps of Jaxon Smith-Njigba (the league’s receiving yards leader) and veteran Cooper Kupp. With Shaheed taking the top off the defense, JSN will have even more space to dominate the intermediate routes, making the Seahawks passing game virtually impossible to defend.This high-impact acquisition is not just about offense; Shaheed also drastically upgrades the Seahawks special teams. His explosive return ability adds a dimension that can immediately flip field position and generate hidden yards, a crucial factor for any contending team. While surrendering two future draft picks is a notable cost, for a player who perfectly fits the scheme, provides elite depth, and fills a special teams need, it’s a small price to pay for a legitimate Super Bowl contention boost. The Seahawks are rolling, and Rashid Shaheed is the final piece of offensive firepower needed for a deep playoff run.The Seattle Seahawks made a move at the NFL trade deadline, and we're here to provide some key football analysis. Join us as we discuss the recent trade and whether it will be enough to bolster the team's offense, and what the seahawks rumors are saying. Hear our thoughts on what this means for the remainder of the season, plus the latest seahawks news and our seahawks podcast.
