The Kraken are back in action tonight.

They’re hosting the Detroit Red Wings in the fourth of their five-game homestand.

Seattle’s looking to rebound after dropping three of their last four matches.

Meanwhile, Detroit enters the game having won their last six.

Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KPUG.

 

A star receiver could be on the move from a Seahawks’ division rival.

Cooper Kupp posted a statement to social media yesterday saying he’s been informed that the Los Angeles Rams are looking to trade him “immediately.”

Kupp says he expected to begin and end his career with the Rams and that the decision is coming against his wishes.

The former Eastern Washington University standout and Yakima native is owed $5 million next season, and has no guaranteed money on the final year of his contract in 2026.

If the Rams trade him after June 1, they’ll save $20 million toward their 2025 salary cap.

Kupp has spent all eight seasons of his career with LA, including a breakout 2021 campaign that saw him notch the Triple Crown, leading the league in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.

 

The Hall of Fame voter who declined to select Mariners icon Ichiro Suzuki remains a mystery.

All 321 voters who allowed their ballots to be made public today selected the Japanese star. 

Suzuki appeared on 393 of 394 ballots when voting was announced on Jan. 21.

The Hall’s rules allow each voter the choice whether to make a ballot public. 

Suzuki will be inducted into the Hall at Cooperstown on July 27.

Mariano Rivera remains the only player to get 100% of the vote

 

An MLB umpire has been fired for sharing his gambling accounts with a friend.

MLB opened the investigation into Pat Hoberg last February when it was brought to its attention by the sportsbook and Hoberg did not umpire last season.

He’s alleged to have shared his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and intentionally deleted electronic messages that were key to the league’s investigation.

While MLB said the investigation did not uncover evidence Hoberg personally bet on baseball or manipulated games, the league’s senior vice president of on-field operations recommended that Hoberg be fired.

Among the highest-rated umpires at judging the strike zone, Hoberg can apply for reinstatement no earlier than 2026 spring training.
