Episode 297 - Trading, Hitting, Scoring & Winning!

Mitch Unfiltered

RUNDOWN

Did Nadia Comaneci’s historic perfect 10 at the 1976 Olympics inspire Mitch's career in sports broadcasting? How could it not. Baseball's trade deadline fast approaching and the Mariners strike a deal. Also, do you remember that controversial extortion attempt involving Seahawks' Byron Murphy II?

Mariners No-Table discuss the recent offensive success against Fedde and Crochet, so why the Arozarena acquisition?

Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, a former college football coach turned CBS analyst, at the Big Ten media days in Indianapolis, emphasizing the changes and new dynamics within the Big Ten Conference (particularly with the inclusion of teams like USC and UCLA).

Jim Callis, Senior Writer at MLB Pipeline, dives deep into the intricate decisions facing the Seattle Mariners as the MLB trade deadline approaches. He weighs in on the Mariners' strategy of building future offenses through trades rather than free agency, due to the challenge of attracting free-agent hitters to Seattle.
