Wait—remember when the streets of Seattle were paved with Skittles?! Wasn't he just our hero?!?!

• Mariners Trade a Stephen Pryor for a Kendrys Morales: "In the search for offensive help, the Seattle Mariners decided to bring back someone who has actually had some hitting success at Safeco Field," the Seattle Times says. Cheeky!
