On this March 12th, here's what's making headlines for the Seattle Mariners. ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney recently weighed in on the awkward tension between Seattle Mariners catchers, Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozerina. It all started during the World Baseball Classic when Team USA players skipped the usual greetings with opponents in a so-called Mamba-style nod. Cal, playing for the US, didn't acknowledge Randy from the Dominican Republic team, even though they are teammates all season. Only called the whole Team USA approach, fun, but pretty silly, and ultimately stupid. He pointed out that Cal was just following his teammates' lead, putting him in a tough spot during the tournament. Fans and players see Cal as a great guy in teammate, while Randy was reportedly shocked when he heard about it. Randy thought, no way would Cal snub him since they played together the whole year. Only highlighted a coming test soon. In two weeks, the Mariners host the Yankees early in the season. Aaron Judge, who teamed up with Cal on Team USA, will step to the

plate. No one expects Cal to ignore him or judge to freeze out Cal. In the end, only says the practice was dumb and now it's up to Cal, Randy and the Mariners to smooth things over and move past it. Quick things to today's sponsor, see the description for more. Do not just listen to podcasts, get lost in them comfortably. S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com
