Softy and Dick H1 - Gas fills in for Dick / Tyler Lockett's new deal / Gas on Earl Thomas / Bad year to be good / Gregg Bell on the Hawks

Summary: Dick Fain is out again today, so the great Mike Gastineau has stepped in to fill his shoes for the day. A couple of big news stories have come out of the Hawks' front office as the team trades for Brett Hundley, and has given Tyler Lockett a three year, $31.8 million deal. It's a little surprising that he's getting the deal, especially for that big of a price tag, but he's undoubtedly having a great day. Mike Gastineau shares his thoughts on the Earl Thomas story as that saga continues to drag on. The Hawks could have tried to get rid of him after the incident in Dallas, or they could have re-signed him, but this is about the worst case scenario for the team. The M's drop two in a row to the Padres as the door closes a little further on their playoff hopes. Yes, the team has put up mediocre numbers of late, Cano missing half the season didn't help, and yeah we really could have used another starting pitcher, but you can't ignore what the A's are doing. No one could have seen that coming. The Mariners picked a bad year to be good. The News Tribune's Gregg Bell goes over the trade for Brett Hundley, Lockett's new contract, and all things Seahawks.
