Jarred Kelenic said he went through 'a lot of emotional roller coasters' playing for the Mariners. He said he's found comfort with his new team the Braves.

Matt Tuiasosopo, in his first season as Braves third-base coach, is back in Seattle too … which is a nice excuse to reup this …

Seattle giving Westover a $25,000 bonus and guaranteeing $50,000 of his salary indicates strongly they expect him to at least make the practice squad. Seattle has only recently begun guaranteeing salary for UDFAs but still hasn't done it too often.

Future Me is mostly going to regret having watched this commercial so often.

Three things we learned about Seahawks from NFL draft | Analysis | The Seattle Times seattletimes.com/sports/seahawk…

Jarred Kelenic is off to a nice start with the Braves -- but not as nice as last year with the #Mariners .

Through 23 games played this year: .305/.369/.373 (.742 OPS), 4 XBH (0 HR), 4 RBIs.

Through 23 games played last year: .317/.375/.671 (1.046 OPS), 14 XBH (7 HR), 14 RBIs.

I have 15 here that have been reported by regular NFL media outlets or their school.

Also, ICYMI here's our running tracker of Seattle's reported UDFA signings. But it's always worth remembering bring these are not official until the team announces them. Seahawks have yet to announce theirs: seattletimes.com/sports/seahawk…

Sources tell The Seattle Times the Seahawks and Jamal Adams remain in contact. I explain below why it could still make sense. However, other teams are also showing interest in Adams, who remains a free agent.

Quarterback Sam Huard, a Class of 2021 five-star recruit, has entered the transfer portal, Chris Hummer and I have learned for @247sports.

Huard spent last season at Cal Poly after beginning his career at Washington. Threw for 2,205 yards and 18 TDs in nine games for Cal Poly.…

I can confirm all of this. I was targeted every play during training camp. I still have flashbacks of Jimmy Graham dunking on me after catching goal line fades every day. 😂 Good times! ⁦Richard Sherman⁩ ⁦Jimmy Graham⁩ ⁦Keyshawn Johnson⁩ youtube.com/watch?v=Eh3eeR…

Catching up on this --- obviously an interesting name to watch at mini-camp.

Offensive line help in Philadelphia: Former Jets first-round draft choice Mekhi Becton plans to sign a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million with the Eagles, pending a physical Monday, per his agents Alan Herman and Jared Fox. Becton is expected to be the Eagles swing tackle.

People rightly noted a lot of players taken in this draft seemed to be older and have a lot of experience. GMs tended to cite influence of NIL and COVID years and underclassmen increasingly staying in school. Here's a comparison of 2020 and 2024 that illustrate difference:

Included this in my story for the Sunday paper, but here was the quote from Mike Macdonald when he was asked about taking down some of the signs and wallpaper murals of the Carroll era in the VMAC:

I happened to cover this series. Henderson joined the Mariners on May 19, then led off the second and third games he played with Seattle with home runs.
