## Resource

Easton McGee, the Mariners’ former ace who stunned fans with a no-hitter before Tommy John surgery, is now a free agent after being DFA’d by Milwaukee — a reunion with Seattle remains possible but unlikely to be a roster fix. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are locking in their future with a massive, nine-figure extension for rookie phenom JJ Wetherholt, the seventh overall pick in the 2024 Draft, who’s crushing it with power and speed — a trend mirroring Seattle’s early bets on stars like Colt Emerson, signaling MLB’s new era of securing elite rookies before they’re proven.
