Latest news and updates about the Mariners
MLB Rumors: Colt Emerson and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to terms on an 8 year, $95 million deal, per reports. This is the largest contract ever for a player under team control who has yet to play in the major leagues. Emerson, a shortstop who doesn’t turn 21 until July, was the 22nd overall […]
The Yankees’ hopes of going 162-0 were quashed on Monday, as the Mariners won in walk-off fashion 2-1 to open up a three-game set with the Bombers. New York was getting shut down against Luis Castillo, a common occurrence at this point against the Mariner ace, but managed to tie the game shortly after he […]
Even though the Mariners were winning most of the game, it still felt like they were going to have to win on a comeback, which they eventually did. The Yankees were dominating the ABS challenge system, and the Mariners had a few defensive miscues, driving all the focus to the Yankees’ half-innings. Meanwhile, despite putting […]
The opening salvo in this three-game battle between the Yankees and Mariners was as tight as you could have expected—and also true to expectations, pitching led the way. Neither staff so much as blinked throughout this game, but ultimately the Mariners found the big hit late as they prevailed, 2-1. Cal Raleigh’s walk-off single against […]

It’s giving Tormund Giantsbane:
The Yankees passed their first test of the regular season with flying colors, tranquilizing the Giants in a three-game sweep. Now, following an unconventional Sunday off, the Yankees will pay a visit to a popular preseason World Series pick: the Seattle Mariners. The M’s, of course, came a game away from reaching the Fall Classic […]
The Mariners draw a tough opponent in their quest for their first series win of 2026. The Yankees of New York, New York look every bit the force of nature they’ve been the past few years, with Aaron Judge already climbing the home run leaderboard. In their attempt to win game one, Seattle will hand […]
The Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, is already underway (Max has the recap for you on Triple-A Opening Weekend here.) The Mariners’ Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, open up their season at home in Dickey-Stephens Park on April 7. Today the Travs announced their 2026 roster, and the big news is that the Mariners’ […]
Fresh off the heels of a big Opening Day weekend, the Mariners and KING 5 made a significant announcement this morning. Friend of the blog Joe Veyera had speculated on this two days ago after coming across a peculiar TV scheduling on April 10: And it all became official this morning: This is a pretty […]
Walking away with two wins in four games against that very pesky and tough Guardians ballclub was a decent way to start the season. Even though the results didn’t exactly line up with their performance, there were a bunch of encouraging things we saw from the Mariners during Opening Weekend. The bottom of the lineup […]
Good morning! An incredible outing last night from starter Emerson Hancock led the Mariners to an 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians to wrap up their first series of 2026. Hancock recorded nine strikeouts over six innings with no hits, joining only Felix on the day of his perfect game as the only Mariners to […]
For the third consecutive year, the Yankees have begun the season by sweeping their first series of the calendar. This year’s opening series was a tour de force of pitching, as Yankee hurlers held the Giants to just one run across all 27 innings of their time in the Bay. Now they head up to […]
It’s spring but it’s definitely not spring training anymore, as 30,000 fans shivered through the Mariners-Guardians series finale before being rewarded by a convincing 8-0 win. It might have felt like spring training metaphorically though, as the runs stacked up for the Mariners, and Emerson Hancock carried his impressive spring into the chilly confines of […]

I hate to leave the old thread behind because it has a Hancock no hitter and six runs in it but needs must, sadly. Like AMPM’s horrifying mascot, there’s just too much good stuff. Except the wave that just started. Stop that. (Edit: it stopped.)
After a heartbreakingly close loss last night, the Mariners will look to avoid losing their first series of the season today against Cleveland. Emerson Hancock will make his season debut for Seattle. Thanks to Zach Mason, who accidentally wrote this preview for Hancock when he’s actually recapping Castillo’s start against the Yankees tomorrow. All mine […]
Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black […]
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
I’m gonna keep it real with you guys, I worked consecutive eleven hours days this weekend, so I’m actually pretty stoked about the Mariners playing on Sunday night, because I’m just not willing to commit to getting out of bed for 1:10 game at this time. The Mariners hosting the national audience has led to […]
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]
