Until this week, it was unknown if 3B/1B Kazuma Okamoto would even be available for MLB teams. The Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball are known for refusing to post their star players, so if Okamoto wanted to play stateside, he’d naturally become an international free agent in another year’s time.

It was always going to Game 7. The Mariners have given fans a magical ride this season, but they haven’t always made it easy. Whether extra-inning games, or late-inning heroics, or winning streaks followed by losing streaks, or pushing things to the make-or-break moments, the Mariners have been playing Game 7 in one form or […]
