Mariners Moose Tracks, 6/22/24: Gregory Santos, Andrew McCutchen, and Guillermo Heredia

I’m still sad we never got Cutch as a Mariner.

Hello everyone! While we wait for the M’s to get off the schneid, let’s dive into the latest.

In Mariners news...

• According to Will Sammon, Patrick Mooney, and Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic, the Mariners plan to be aggressive in adding offense at the deadline — and money isn’t expected to be an issue in their plans.
• The Mariners really could use a healthy Gregory Santos...

• Joe Veyera bomb!

Around the league...

• Angels lefty Patrick Sandoval exited his start yesterday with forearm tightness.
• Astros right-hander Jake Bloss, who was making his MLB debut yesterday, was pulled from his outing with an apparent injury.
• Dan Szymborski checks in on the stars of the 2016 Cubs, who are reaching the end of their respective primes.
• Andrew McCutchen, the active career leader in games played, plans to continue playing beyond the 2024 season. I wonder if this is because the Pirates might be competitive next season and he wants one last run at a World Series.
• Carlos Santana played in his 2,000th career game yesterday, making him just the 251st player in MLB history to achieve the feat.
• We miss you, Guillermo! Hope you’re having fun in the KBO.
