Mock Mariners-Orioles trade would give Seattle an unexpected solution at first base
We are in the midst of the most frustrating stretch of Mariners baseball we have seen in a while. This team is 100% reliant upon the starting pitching and barring a complete game shutout, they just can't win games. The offense isn't producing at all, and this has caused Dipoto to start to make some drastic moves, rightfully so. Ty France was designated for assignment on Monday and after a couple of injuries to Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford, the team is now extremely reliant upon quite a few young, unproven hitters.

US promises $240 million to improve fish hatcheries, protect tribal rights in Pacific Northwest
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The U.S. government will invest $240 million in salmon and steelhead hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest to boost declining fish populations and support the treaty-protected fishing rights of Native American tribes, officials announced Thursday. The departments of Commerce and the Interior said there will be an initial $54 million for hatchery maintenance and modernization made available to 27 tribes in the region, which includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska. The hatcheries “produce the salmon that tribes need to live,” said Jennifer Quan, the regional administrator for NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region. “We are talking about food for the tribes and supporting their culture and their spirituality.” Some of the facilities are on the brink of failure, Quan said, with a backlog of deferred maintenance that has a cost estimated at more than $1 billion.
