Mariners Moose Tracks, 10/6/24: Julio Rodríguez, Clayton Kershaw, and Shohei Ohtani
It’s Sunday, and if it’s Sunday, it’s Meet the Links.
In Mariners news...
- Julio showed up to sound the siren before the Husky game yesterday before their win over Michigan.

Around the league...
- Off the first pitch after taking a pitch of his right knee, Shohei Ohtani did the most obvious thing imaginable.

- Clayton Kershaw made a concerted effort to get healthy in time for the playoffs, but unfortunately his efforts only managed to exacerbate the existing toe injury he was attempting to recover, meaning he will not be available at any point for the Dodgers should they advance.
- I mean I don’t think anyone ever thinks of the Angels when Alex Verdugo gets mentioned, but also I like that Jazz is willing to fire shots for no other reason than “why not?”
The Angels caught a stray from Jazz Chisholm Jr. when he was asked about Alex Verdugo coming through tonight.

"He lives for this. He's played in big cities before. He played in Boston. He played in LA -- and I'm not talking about the Angels."
