The Seahawks are in Kansas City and Benton sets the stage on what we'll see (and won't see). Did the Mariners blow it by not adding Geno Suarez? The Mariners have two tough series ahead, but then it should be smooth sailing. Benton just wants them to survive in Toronto and Boston. Roxy Bernstein, ESPN Broadcaster and Sirius XM joins Benton from the Bay Area and begins by telling us about the mess Jed York is in as well as the distractions the 49ers faced this off-season. The one word he uses for this Mariners' season it's 'head-scratching'. He does think they'll make the postseason this year. Roxy also gives us insight on the Blue Jays' season, which he calls a disappointment. We take a trip around MLB and look at the playoff-eligible teams that are also on the cusp. Mackie Samoskevich, Kraken Forward tells Benton what it means to join the Kraken ahead of this season. Josh Klinger, Chiefs Radio Network gives us a 'boots on the ground' look at the Chiefs as they host the Seahawks tonight. He tells us what the meaning of preseason is and why it's not exactly for the fans - it's for the coaches. Josh also gives us some intel on what the last month has been like for the Chiefs after their disappointing season last year. Ryan Spilborghs, MLB Analyst for Apple TV is calling tonight's game between the Blue Jays and Mariners and gives us his big picture take on both teams, as well as the matchup. One word he would use to describe the Mariners: inconsistent. The season: maddening. He still sees the Mariners as a favorite in the AL West. We check your texts and talk to Ian!

The Mariners have some work to do and need to beat those they should to continue to have a chance. Leonard Williams was on the brink of retirement after his time in NY, but Seattle transformed him. Now he's under a brand-new 3-year extension that makes him one of the highest paid tackles in the league. The Seahawks have depended on him to be not only a force on the field, but in the lockerroom as well. What happens next year with Byron Murphy, as he's due quite a large contract? Gregg previews what we'll see in the Seahawks final preseason game tomorrow. The Khoslas are set to become the next owners of the Seahawks, as the NFL owners approved the sale yesterday. We hear from Vinod Khosla, who spoke yesterday about the sale. Gregg is sure of one thing: AI is coming to the Seahawks. We hear from Cooper Kupp who spoke about his role on the team, the devastating injuries we've seen so far in camp and the leadership Mike Macdonald shows this team. Mike Macdonald press conference live from VMAC following Seahawks practice.

Gregg is back from Nashville! Is Cal back? The Mariners are doing work recently. Sam Darnold finally gets to be 'the guy', and he looks and sounds great! Gregg looks further into the recent court ruling allowing professional athletes to return to college if they have eligibility, and it does apply to a certain Seahawks camp attendee. The point that's getting Gregg fired up is the fact this ruling takes away from college athletes currently at the universities. We hear from Cal Raleigh in his postgame session last night and what's going right for him, following a 3-homer night. Do you believe? Also Gregg has some Sounders news. Gregg discusses the backup quarterback situation and what are reasonable expectations for Jalen Milroe this season. Drew Lock spoke about him this weekend are we get his thoughts on the young QB. We learned a lot about the Seahawks during their joint practice as well as their preseason game against the Titans. We listen back to what Sam Darnold had to say over the weekend. Gregg gives us some insight on those on IR and those who could end up on it. We check the talkbacks and texts and finally, talk to Mike Benton!
