Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/2/19: Braden Bishop, Trades, and Bat Flips
Happy Groundhog Day!
Yesterday while I was driving I was wondering what my walk-up song would be if I played in the bigs. What would your song be? Tell us in the comments after you read these links.
In Mariners News...

- Tacoma News Tribune’s TJ Cotterill will no longer be covering the Mariners beat.
Sad to say that after 8 years today is my last day at The News Tribune. Excited to be transitioning into teaching (with hopefully some freelancing mixed in — and a lot less Twitter). So thankful for all the people I’ve met through journalism, including my really cool wife.

Around the League...
- The AP is blaming the Rays for MLB’s proposal to turn the 10 Day DL back into the 15 Day DL. Ken Rosenthal argues that doesn’t make much sense.
- Former Mariner Jesus Sucre signed with the Orioles.
The Baltimore #Orioles sign veteran catcher Jesus Sucre, who spent last 2 years with the #Rays, to minor-league deal worth $850,000 if he reaches big leagues along with big-league spring-training invite. He has March 22 opt-out if not on 40-man roster.

Infielder Matt Davidson is in agreement on a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers, league sources tell ESPN. Davidson will be used as an infield and could pitch as well, giving the Rangers their own two-way possibility.
