Latest news and updates about the Mariners
Hoowee, folks. We have a lot of roster moves this afternoon, five to be exact, so let’s get right into it. We’re putting the basics here for now: expect updates throughout the afternoon as we write up these moves. Called Up: Robinson Ortiz, LHP: Ortiz is a 26-year-old leftie reliever who so far has been […]
Great news: Gavin Sheets is not (any longer) on the White Sox. He can’t hurt you anymore. Bad news: If you’re reading this, you’re probably going to be watching some more Mariners baseball. If you told me in January that the Mariners would be one game out of the Wild Card and just two games […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma managed to take the series by a score of 4-2 this week, besting Houston’s lackluster affiliate in Cheney Stadium. With a healthy amount of turmoil present within the major league roster, expect several of these Rainier players to be shuttling up to Seattle sooner than later. In case you missed the news […]
Good morning! The Mariners suffered another tough loss to the San Diego Padres last night and will be happy to put this edition of the Vedder Cup behind them. The Chicago White Sox come to town for a three-game series as Bryan Woo takes the mound tonight at 6:40 PM against LHP Noah Schultz. In […]
It will be known as the Gavin Sheets Game of 2026. The left-handed slugger clubbed two homeruns off Seattle Mariners starter George Kirby and added an RBI-double for good measure to lead the San Diego Padres to a 8-3 win and a three-game sweep at T-Mobile Park on Sunday. Sheets came into the game as […]
The term “meteoric rise” is a bit of a misnomer, though most people already know that. Meteors fall (And yet if you point this out, you are a pedant? The world is cruel to those brave enough to obsess over wording tell the truth). However, it is quite the fitting turn of phrase for baseball, […]

The Mariners may have to patch together thier bullpen for a bit longer. While Gabe Speier looked good in a bullpen today, Matt Brash struggled through two-thirds of an inning in Tacoma. Matt Brash threw his second game with the Rainiers this afternoon. He’s been on the IL since April 29 when he had to […]
The Mariners are trying to avoid being swept by the Padres for the season, having failed to win a single game against them so far while losing possession of the prized Vedder Cup guitar. Thoughts and prayers to Pete Woodworth. George Kirby will take the mound for the Mariners as Seattle’s last hope for a […]

The Seattle Mariners are calling up top prospect SS/3B Colt Emerson, per multiple reports led by Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. The move came as somewhat of an unexpected move, as Emerson was initially listed in the Tacoma Rainiers lineup in Triple-A. Instead, Seattle is bringing up their 20 year old quite literally from […]
This felt like a game the San Diego Padres would lose. With the Seattle Mariners’ ace on the mound in Logan Gilbert, it felt like the moping San Diego offense would struggle to score enough to back starter Walker Buehler. That was not the case. Buehler pitched a gem and the Friars rode three homers […]
Randy Arozarena isn’t all that streaky, but he is on a streak right now. Arozarena has been the Mariners best hitter this year. His 148 wRC+ is best among the qualified hitters on the team, and his 1.8 fWAR makes him a top 25 player in the majors. He’s more than half-way to his 2.9 […]
Gavin Sheets and Nick Castellanos hit homers off Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert and the San Diego Padres earned a 7-4 win at T-Mobile Park on Saturday night. Sheets opened the scoring with a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Padres up 1-0. With San Diego leading […]
The Mariners lost again last night. Logan Gilbert didn’t have his best stuff again, and Dan Wilson got sent home early by the umpires. Rivalry weekend is a wash at this point, but the Mariners will attempt to salvage a win in the series anyway on NBC and Peacock at 4:20pm. In Mariners news… Around […]
The roof was closed from the start on a blustery afternoon in Seattle, with rare thunderstorms in the forecast. The Mariners’ offense gathered, swirled, and covered the field in strong contact, line drives, and threat after threat. But it was the Padres whose lumber cracked like thunder, pummeling Logan Gilbert under a storm of punished […]

The Seattle Mariners saw their four-year run of Vedder Cup dominance end last night, as the San Diego Padres blanked them 2-0 in a disappointing display that resembled many Friar victories this season: get a lead, then hand things to the bullpen and crush the final squirms of resistance. Today is a new opportunity, however, […]
Mariners players have a plethora of team-issued t-shirt options to choose from. One of the most popular designs comes from the high performance team, featuring a modified Rod of Asclepius on the front, where the wings are swapped for the Mariners trident; on the back, (AVAIL)ABILITY, with “ABILITY” highlighted in white. It’s a play on […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners opened up the weekend with a sleepy 2-0 loss to the Padres last night, though it was great to see Emerson Hancock continue his strong start to the season. Speaking of, we finally got a resolution to the six-man rotation situation yesterday: Do you endorse this decision […]
Mason Miller was asked to deliver a four-out save to secure a 2-0 win for the San Deigo Padres over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Friday. He was eventually able to get four outs and seal the win for the Padres, but the Mariners did not make it easy. Miller was able to […]
The Mariners waited too long, and Mason Miller eventually caught up with them. The Padres shutout the Mariners 2-0 in Friday’s series opener in Seattle. The win gives them the second ever Vedder Cup, tying the all-time series at one apiece. Emerson Hancock pitched well, working around a bit of hard contact to get through […]

Let’s run it back. Leg two of the Vedder Cup begins Friday in Seattle. The Mariners got swept in the first set in San Diego, so they’ll need to sweep at home in order to have a chance in the tie breaker, which is run differential (Padres lead 16-9) then average exit velocity in the […]
