Latest news and updates about the Mariners
Spring training is fast approaching, but not fast enough for me. These days, we are in a serious baseball content drought: MLB The Show is in end-of-life, most of the major names have been signed, and the trade market is coming to a standstill. All I have left to keep me going these days is […]

According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal. The 32-year-old reliever spent parts of the 2017-21, and 2023 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Phillies, Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox, and A’s, flashing big stuff without much in the way of results (6.32 career ERA, 5.61 career FIP, but only 98.1 big league innings). Yacksel Rios has also been in the Rays, White Sox, and Braves’ systems,...

The Mariners announced their minor league coaching staffs for the upcoming season this week. While these aren’t names the average fan will be able to rattle off, each one of these people plays a crucial role in the development of Mariners minor-leaguers, from the high-minors managers who get to tell a prospect he’s making it […]

The Seattle Mariners and RHP Bryce Miller have agreed on a contract, allowing both parties to avoid arbitration. The deal guarantees Miller $2.4375 million for the 2026 season, along with a team option reportedly worth $6.075 million for the 2027 campaign in lieu of his traditional second year of arbitration eligibility. The cost-certainty for Seattle […]

Were it not for an Achilles tear at the end of July, 32-year-old righty reliever Trent Thornton might not have been available in free agency at all, much less available on a minor league deal. He’d had a slow start to the season in the Mariners’ bullpen to be sure, but he’d been dominating since mid-June, and he had been a really good reliever in 2023 and 2024 (3.13 ERA (18% better than league average), 3.70 FIP (7% better), 24.6% K, 6.0% BB, 6.6% barrel, 34.6% hard hit). As of the moment...

The Dodgers have been fairly quiet this offseason compared to the last two, but when they have struck, the bounty has been plentiful. After bringing back Miguel Rojas for the final season of his big league career, the Dodgers shored up their bullpen by bringing in Edwin Díaz to a three-year deal worth $69 million. […]

Hello and welcome back to the Friday Feedbag where I will never feed you slop. How about some chum (salmon), though? Just kidding. But we are going to talk about the hate it or love it phenomenon of the Seattle Mariners Salmon Run mascot race today. Starting in the 2024 season, the Salmon Run instantly […]

If given the option to choose any player to throw the final pitch of the season for the Seattle Mariners over the past few years, Andrés Muñoz is the savvy selection. For Muñoz to be pitching, Seattle’s final game must be both close and meaningful. The 2023 and 2024 seasons ended on close victories, but […]

We’re getting ever closer to spring training and you know what that means: time to build the pitching pile. The Mariners did that today, acquiring RHP Yosver Zulueta from Cincinnati. Obligatory Remember Some Guys tie-in: the Blue Jays originally signed Zulueta out of Cuba in 2019 using pool space they got from the Kendrys Morales […]

It’s time for Prospect Christmas, aka the official opening of MLB’s international signing period for the year. While most of the deals are worked out ahead of time and only made official on this day, there are occasionally surprises once the period actually opens, and players will continue to sign over the coming weeks and […]

I think that many would agree that St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom has already accomplished most of his goals for this offseason, but the question of what to do about Brendan Donovan remains. The latest rumors that I can find point to a trade to the San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, […]

As the holidays wind down and we return to the humdrum of normal life, it’s nice to be able to look forward to the start of spring training, only a short time away. While it is still the offseason and there are still plenty of talented players available, the market tends to cool down around […]

We thought we knew Matt Brash—a slider-slinging, fastball-fueled thrill ride of dominance and destruction with the occasional meltdown thrown in to keep you on your toes. But after Tommy John surgery kept him out for the entire 2024 season, Brash flipped the script in 2025, using two new pitches to get steadier results. He’s no […]

It is March 9th, 2026. Blas Castaño is getting A-side bullpen reps for the Mariners while some of his teammates are away playing for their respective teams in the World Baseball Classic. With so many regulars resting or away at the WBC, the field looks much more like one of his Triple-A Tacoma games than […]

This is J.P. Crawford’s last 40 in 40. Crawford is the longest tenured Mariner. He came to Seattle at the start of the retool way back in December 2018. Félix was still a Mariner. Seager was still a Mariner. Colt Emerson was 14. Crawford was a “glove first” shortstop in his first few seasons. That […]
