SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JULY 31: President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto talks with manager Dan Wilson #6 of the Seattle Mariners before the game against the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park on July 31, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. MoreMLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospect List was recently updated and the Mariners have the most players on the list with nine.
That list is headlined by shortstop Colt Emerson who is expected to make his major league debut at some point next season. Two of the next four on the list for Seattle are pitching prospects Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan.
Anderson was the No. 3 overall pick in this year's MLB draft and Sloan was selected in the second round of last season's draft.
Mariners first-round pick Kade Anderson was the Most Outstanding Player in LSU's national championship run 👏

Outfielder Lazaro Montes and catcher Harry Ford round out the top five in the Mariners organization and those two are expected to make their debuts within the next two seasons.
Michael Arroyo is the No. 6 prospect for Seattle and he is also expected to make his debut during next season.
Seven through nine in the Mariners organization and on the top 100 list are outfielder Jonny Farmelo, pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje and shortstop Felnin Celesten.
Each of those three are not expected to debut until 2027 or 2028, meaning they could be potential trade chips in the offseason.

95 MPH righty the next one

The rest of the AL West has just seven combined prospects in the top 100 and one of those is the Angels' Christian Moore, who is already in the major leagues.
It is evident that Seattle is set up for future success much more than any team in its division and that should be exciting for fans of Mariners baseball.

Sha'Carri Richardson apologises to boyfriend Christian Coleman after airport domestic violence arrest
Reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson has apologised to her boyfriend Christian Coleman following her recent domestic violence arrest at an airport. Richardson was arrested on 27 July on a fourth-degree domestic violence offence for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours. The sprinter was due to catch a flight to attend the US track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon, where she failed to qualify for the 200m at this September's World Athletics Championships by one-hundredth of a second. She has an automatic berth in the 100m as the defending world champion. On Monday night, the 25-year-old Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account in which she said she put herself in a 'compromised situation' and she issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning. 'I love him & to him I can't apologize enough,' wrote Richardson in all capital letters, adding that her apology 'should be just as loud' as her actions. 'To Christian I love you & I am so sorry,' she wrote. She added that Coleman "came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past." In the video, Richardson said she's practising 'self-reflection' and refuses 'to run away but face everything that comes to me head on.' According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and Coleman, who won the 100m world title back in 2019. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm, grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones. The officer said in the report: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100m at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest and claimed a silver medal at the Paris Olympics last summer. She also helped the US 4x100m relay to an Olympic gold. She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the US Olympic trials. Additional reporting from Associated Press

Blue Jays 5, Cubs 1: Kyle Tucker shows some fire
If you think you are frustrated with the Cubs' performance of late, consider what Kyle Tucker did after he grounded out with two runners on base in the seventh inning of the Cubs' 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays: The thing about that scene is that Tucker is generally one of the calmest, most collected Cubs. He almost never shows emotion on the field. That ought to tell you where the Cubs' mindset is right about now. As has been the case for so many recent losses, this game wasn't terrible. Cubs pitching was pretty good, just not quite good enough. The Cubs had plenty of baserunners — left 10 on base, and left the bases loaded twice — but simply could not get a key hit at the right time, going 1-for-9 with RISP. The Jays scored first, on three singles in the first inning. Javier Assad pitched out of trouble after that, and also got himself out of a jam in the second inning thanks to this throw by Ian Happ [VIDEO]. View Link The Cubs got the first two men on base in the third. Dansby Swanson singled and stole second and Matt Shaw walked, but the next two Cubs were routine outs. Tucker walked to load the bases, but Carson Kelly struck out to end the inning. Assad made it through the bottom of the third without trouble, but his high-wire act failed in the fourth. He allowed a leadoff single to Daulton Varsho, then hit Ty France with a pitch. Ernie Clement followed with a three-run homer and, well, with the Cubs offense in the funk that it is in, the game was essentially over at that point. Assad wasn't great, but he wasn't terrible either apart from the home run. What are you going to do? The Cubs managed a run in the seventh off old friend Tommy Nance. (How is it that the Cubs keep letting go relievers who can't pitch in Chicago and they become solid contributors elsewhere? Nance entered this game with an ERA of 0.77 in 10 appearances.) Swanson led off with a walk and went to third on a single by Willi Castro. Michael Busch's single scored Swanson [VIDEO]. View Link With the score 4-1, you might have thought, 'Hey, the Cubs could still get back into this game,' and indeed, dear reader, they tried. Another former Cub turned into a leverage reliever, Brendon Little, entered the game after Nance struck out Seiya Suzuki. There was only one out at the time, but Tucker grounded out. That's the scene you see at the top of this recap. Kelly then walked to load the bases. Pete Crow-Armstrong was the next hitter, chance to be a hero, etc. You could have predicted this [VIDEO]. View Link That, as they say, was that. Ben Brown threw pretty well in relief of Assad, four innings with just four hits and one run allowed, a solo homer by Varsho in the eighth. Here are PCA and Swanson talking about the current Cubs offensive woes [VIDEO]. View Link And here are Craig Counsell's postgame comments [VIDEO]. View Link Forget about the NL Central title, that possibility is basically gone. Somehow, the Cubs have managed to hold on to the top wild-card spot despite losing six of their last nine. And if you think things are bad here, consider the Dodgers, who just got caught for the NL West lead by the Padres. The Dodgers were 56-32 and had a nine-game lead in their division entering the action on July 4. Since then they are 12-20 — only one game better than the Rockies over that span. (The Cubs are 15-16 over that stretch.) So could it be worse? Yes, it could be worse. Fact about Tuesday's loss from BCB's JohnW53: Tuesday's loss was the 10th in a row by the Cubs in the first game of a series on the road. Since winning at Washington June 3, they have lost openers at Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Houston, Minnesota, New York vs. the Yankees, South Side vs. the White Sox, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Toronto. This is their longest such streak since at least 2000, when they lost 10 in a row. I don't think I need to remind you how awful the Cubs season was in 2000. This year's Cubs still can turn things around, but doing that rightfreakingnow would be a good idea. Cade Horton will start for the Cubs in the second game of the series in Toronto tonight. Kevin Gausman goes for the Blue Jays. Game time is again 6:07 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

Rylie Mills' road from Lake Forest through Notre Dame leads to ‘special' opportunity with Seattle Seahawks
Playing in the NFL has long seemed like a realistic possibility for defensive lineman Rylie Mills. The former Lake Forest standout's five-year Notre Dame career, which included the past two seasons as a highly productive starter, only brought him closer. But Mills suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during the Fighting Irish's College Football Playoff win over Indiana on Dec. 20. 'I knew something was wrong, but I wanted somehow to return to the game,' he said. 'I tried a couple of times, but they wouldn't let me. I thought at first I'd be back for the playoffs, but that obviously didn't happen. It certainly wasn't how I wanted to end my college career.' Indeed, Mills had surgery shortly thereafter and was a spectator for the rest of the four-game playoff run, which ended with Notre Dame's 34-23 loss to Ohio State in the national championship game. Mills' injury also affected his status for the NFL draft in April. He recorded a team-high 7.5 sacks to go along with 37 tackles and four quarterback hurries as a senior to earn a slew of postseason accolades, including an All-American second-team selection, and generate positive draft buzz. But given Mills' uncertain return date and his inability to work out at the combine or any pro days, he lasted until the fifth round, when the Seattle Seahawks grabbed him with the 142nd overall pick. 'The feedback I was getting before I got hurt was that my draft status was going higher,' he said. 'It was tough at the combine for scouts to tell me that they love my tape. 'Seattle was a great place to land, though. They have a great foundation. The staff is amazing. I'm just taking it day by day.' With NFL preseason action underway, the 6-foot-5, 290-pounds Mills remains on the non-football injury list. But he has graduated to individual running drills on grass and has been able to take in every aspect of the mental preparation that is so essential in making a successful jump from college to the NFL. 'We have a lot of experience on the defensive line, so I lean on them to gain as much knowledge as possible,' Mills said, highlighting 10-year NFL veteran Leonard Williams. 'In meetings, we talk all the time about what everyone's seeing from the offense, and I pick up new things all the time from watching and listening.' Mills is also seeing the high-stakes nature of the NFL and how much pressure exists on players to produce. That was evident to some extent in college, but this is a different ballgame, both literally and figuratively. 'It's a real job, which makes a huge difference, and you're trying to be one of the best in the world,' Mills said. 'Every day I try to take in how special it is to have this opportunity and make sure I put in all the work necessary to make a positive impression.' Lake Forest coach Chuck Spagnoli wouldn't be surprised if Mills, who finished his Notre Dame career with 17 sacks, makes a position impression in Seattle. 'When I talked to people at Notre Dame, they were always glowing about him, and he was always getting more productive,' Spagnoli said. 'We always hoped he'd have this kind of opportunity, but he created it himself. Hopefully he'll develop into a great NFL player.' Mills has certainly learned to adapt to the realities of his knee injury. Although he couldn't lead Notre Dame to a national championship on the field, that didn't mean his tenure as an influential team captain was finished. 'Coach (Marcus) Freeman said I could handle this adversity in one of two ways,' Mills said. 'I could do anything I could to be as useful as possible, or I could dwell on things. I'm glad I chose the more positive mindset.' Due to the timing of his surgery, Mills couldn't attend Notre Dame's 23-10 win over Georgia in the quarterfinals on Jan. 2. But he was bound and determined to get to the semifinal game against Penn State in suburban Miami seven days later. Mills couldn't fly, so a Notre Dame fundraising agency called Rally proposed a unique travel arrangement. 'They got me an NIL deal with an RV company, and we drove down to Florida,' Mills said. 'It was my parents, girlfriend, the dog — and my uncle drove. It was pretty close quarters there and back for about 40 hours.'
