The Seahawks also traded Sam Howell to the Minnesota Vikings, seeking to improve their depth chart. On the baseball front, the Mariners defeated the Marlins 7-6, achieving their sixth consecutive series victory, while ace Logan Gilbert is sidelined for at least two weeks due to an elbow strain. Cal Raleigh continues to shine, leading the league with 10 home runs.
