Mariners Game #115 Preview and Discussion: 8/5/26, Tigers at Mariners

Spotify has done me dirty with this “Work From Home” mix, you guys. I’m listening to the worst song right now (“If You Love Her”, by Forest Blakk), and it’s perhaps the worst song I’ve ever heard outside of that one Christmas song about the shoes. It’s so bad the rest of the press box […]

Mariners’ biggest mistake after 2026 MLB trade deadline

The Seattle Mariners did improve at the 2026 MLB trade deadline. They simply did not improve enough where it mattered most. Their biggest mistake was stopping after Taylor Ward instead of adding another middle-of-the-order power bat capable of raising the ceiling of an offense that has spent too much of 2026 asking its pitching staff […] The post Mariners’ biggest mistake after 2026 MLB trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Orioles activate reliever Alex Hoppe, option Nunez

The Orioles activated right-handed reliever Alex Hoppe on Wednesday. Hoppe, who was acquired in the trade that sent outfielder Taylor Ward to Seattle on Monday, was 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA in games with the Mariners. Right-hander Anthony Nunez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after Tuesday night’s game. This is the second time this season […]

Ed Sheeran wows during batting practice with Mariners’ Julio Rodriguez

Presumably before his show in Seattle for the 2026 Loop Tour, Ed Sheeran went to batting practice with Mariners star Julio Rodriguez. Perhaps to the surprise of some, he was good at swinging the bat. The Mariners posted a video of the “Castle on the Hill” singer hitting baseballs. View this post on Instagram Those […] The post Ed Sheeran wows during batting practice with Mariners’ Julio Rodriguez appeared first on ClutchPoints .

New Mariner Taylor Ward is not just here to walk (but that’s okay too)

As we’ve written about extensively over the past few days, the Mariners didn’t make splashy moves this trade deadline, but they did make moves to address their biggest weaknesses in the bullpen and right-handed hitting outfield, even if those returns might not move the needle for fans. Both Seranthony Dominguez, the reliever acquired in the […]

Mariners News: Rob Refsnyder, Mitch Garver, and George Lombard, Jr.

Tigers seek series win over Mariners on Wednesday night

The Detroit Tigers won their fourth game in a row on Tuesday night with an 8-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

Emerson Hancock pitched fine but had some poor defense behind him. Seranthnoy Domínguez […]

Per Ryan Divish, the Mariners are expected to move on from two veterans post-trade deadline: off-season acquisition Rob Refsnyder, and backup catcher Mitch Garver. C Jhonny Pereda is reportedly being called up to fill Garver’s spot. It’s been a difficult tenure for both Refsnyder and Garver for the Mariners. Refsnyder was signed this off-season in […]

Series Preview: Mariners (55-58) vs. Tigers (54-58)

Bobbing back from the trade deadline, mostly unscathed (positively and negatively), the Mariners take on the Tigers for a three-game, midweek set at home. Think of it as a buffer, a practice round, a get-right, momentum-builder before the Rays arrive. The practice of declawing a cat has been deemed so cruel that in many countries […]

Farm Fortnight: Trades reduce ranks in White Sox farm system, but here comes Roch Cholowsky

Chris Getz made it through the trade deadline without trading any top prospects , but his farm system -- and the Minor Keys, and Farm Fortnight -- will look a little bit thinner after the four deals the White Sox made over the last 48 hours. You won't have Boston Smith's gaudy numbers inviting curiosity and optimism anymore, as the Sox traded him to Seattle for Luis Castillo . Using Gabe Davis and Mason Adams in packages for Huascar Brazobán and Brenton Doyle , respectively, remove a couple ...

Seattle Mariners Minor League Roundup – Week Nineteen

Tacoma Rainiers It was another brutal week for Tacoma, dropping five of six to a strong River Cats squad at home. Despite the early success from Lazaro Montes and Michael Arroyo, it’s been tough sledding for this Tacoma Roster all year, really falling short on the mound on a nightly basis. The stretch run is […]

Mariners trade for balance over substance at deadline

The Mariners didn’t get better at the trade deadline, but they did get different, and that makes them better. The Mariners made two deals this week. They traded Luis Castillo to the White Sox for Seranthony Domínguez, Nolan Jones, cash, and a prospect that I liked but who doesn’t factor into 2026. They also traded […]

Mariners News: Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman, and Luke Raley

Wait what the hell? The day I signed up to cover links turns out to be the day after the trade deadline? They should really announce the date of the trade deadline in advance to avoid this kind of problem. It was a busy day around the league, though a number of rumored names stayed […]

Tigers head to Seattle to take on Mariners on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers got a breather after sweeping the Athletics in Sacramento last weekend, pulling them to within four games of .500. Along the way, the trade deadline happened, with Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize being shipped out to help restock the farm. Next up for the Motor City Kitties on their nine-game West Coast […]

Grading the Seattle Mariners Trade Deadline
