We’re trying out a few new things at the site this off-season and one of them is an open chat, similar to what they do over at FanGraphs. At appointed times each week, we’ll have as many of the staffers as I can round up available in the comments to chat and answer questions, about […]

Cole Young is here for a reason. Young made his MLB debut on May 31, 2025, after a carousel of misbegotten second basemen struggled to hold down the position… for the eighth year in a row. The Mariners haven’t found competence at second base since Robinson Canó was suspended in May 2018. It’s not been […]

The grass isn’t always greener. The skies, famously, aren’t liable to be much bluer elsewhere either. George Kirby has thrived in Seattle. A perfect fit for the Mariners as an organization, obsessed as they are with avoiding free passes and controlling the count and zone. Intense on the mound and, seemingly, off of it, Kirby […]

With Monday’s big trade news, the Mariners accomplished one of their major off-season goals, shoring up the infield with the acquisition of Brendan Donovan. That leaves just one item on the off-season shopping list: a reliever to help bolster the bullpen. Obviously, we love us a Pile Guy™, and the staff has already started laying […]

It’s time for one of our favorite annual traditions: going through the list of Mariners non-roster invites and spending entirely too much electronic ink on a lot of guys who will never suit up for the Mariners this season. Left-Handed Pitchers: Kade Anderson Making one of the most highly anticipated organizational debuts in recent Mariner […]

It’s that time of year again! After a busy offseason of transactions that’s seen several top prospects shipped out for controllable talent, the Mariners farm system looks substantially different than it did at the end of last year. Despite plenty of graduations over the course of last season and a healthy amount of trades that […]

The Mariners got better just because. Fangraphs on Monday dropped their standings model for 2026 and the commensurate playoff odds . It was the biggest news for most of the morning because the Mariners, wouldn’t you know it, were the top projected team in the American League. No, not the best team in the […]

Over the last couple of years, a number of MLB teams have had their RSN deals either end or collapse, and their TV rights have reverted to the league. Prior to 2026, the Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Guardians, Twins and Mariners had their TV rights assigned to MLB Local Media, the league’s production arm for local […]

After the Naylor signing at the very outset of free agency, the Mariners went uncomfortably quiet until the buzzer-beater Brendan Donovan deal yesterday. While we’ll get into more specific breakdowns of the AL West rosters over spring training, we were curious: with this latest move, how do you feel about the Mariners lineup (or team […]

Good morning! Yet another infield option is off the board, as the Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star Brendan Donavan in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. Perhaps you’re still holding out hope for an Isaac Paredes deal, but it’s looking increasingly likely that the Red Sox will head into Opening Day with Marcelo Mayer […]

As Danny Russell reported, the Rays have traded for infielder Ben Williamson. Williamson is known for his plus plus defense, but he’s struggled to translate his college and minor league hitting success to the majors. The Mariners promoted Williamson early in 2025, but sent him back to Triple A Tacoma to work on his hitting. […]

Yimi García is a 35-year-old, right-handed relief pitcher. The Blue Jays signed him to a two-year contract before the 2022 season, but then traded him to the Mariners in July of 2024, getting Jacob Sharp, a minor league catcher who hit .161/.271/.206 for the Fisher Cats last year, and Jonatan Clase, who we talked about […]

The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired slick fielding third baseman Ben Williamson from the Seattle Mariners as part of a three-team deal with the St. Louis Cardinals that will generally be known as the Donovan trade: Drafted 57th overall in 2023 after what Baseball America called a “monstrous senior season” at William & Mary, Williamson […]

The day after Justin Hollander and Jerry Dipoto both said at Fan Fest that the Mariners were still looking to make one impact move, they backed that up today with the most significant trade of the Mariners off-season, a three-team trade with the Rays and Cardinals that will bring long-anticipated trade target Brendan Donovan to […]

Over the weekend, the infield market started churning , with free agents Luis Arraez (San Francisco) and Eugenio Suarez (Cincinnati) signing fresh deals with new teams. And that movement continued on Monday with long-rumored Cardinals trade chip Brendan Donovan getting dealt to Seattle in a three-team deal (pending physical). This transaction has some already-realized, near-term impact on the Cubs, seeing as the Cardinals’ sell-off is now even more substantial (they REALLY went for it, de...

MLB Trade Rumors: St. Louis infielder Brendan Donovan is heading to the Seattle Mariners in a three way deal that, of course, features the Tampa Bay Rays as the third team, per reports.
