MLB insider's free agent predictions suggest Mariners could go on spending spree
I'll start off by saying this. Until proven wrong, I'm going to always assume that the Mariners aren't going to spend money on hitters, and will instead just work trades or sign small one-year deals.

Scene in Edmonds: Kindness at the Saturday market
“A champion of kindness.” That’s how Edmonds resident Lin Russell described a vendor who was staffing the Salt Blade booth at the rainy Edmonds Museum Summer Market Saturday. “As I stood in line for peaches, a mom and her very wet and shivering grade-school son were buying those yummy sausages at the next stand,” Russell said. “The young vendor at the booth asked the mom if her son needed a coat.
