Mariners to trade Luis Castillo to White Sox for three players

Luis Castillo’s tenure as a Seattle Mariner has apparently come to an end. The Mariners announced tonight they have traded Castillo to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Per Daniel Kramer, the Mariners aren’t sending any money to offset the remainder of what Castillo […]

Ugly wins are still wins: Mariners walk off Twins, 4-3

The Mariners were feckless (1-for-12 with RISP, 11 left on base), but the Twins were more feckless (0-for-7 with RISP, 4 left on base), and so the Mariners scratched out a walkoff win over the Twins thanks mostly to Randy Arozarena and Andrés Muñoz’s first multi-inning effort of the year. This game also featured, although […]

Mariners Game #112 Preview and Discussion: 8/1/26, Twins at Mariners

The Mariners games will continue until morale improves. As a reminder, if you want to chat about trade deadline stuff – rumors, suggested trades, analysis of other teams’ moves – you can do that in the trade deadline thread linked here or pinned on the homepage. Lineups: News: Luke Raley has been moved to the […]

The Mariners should give Michael Arroyo their hopes

At the All-Star Break’s conclusion, I wrote on expectations, and their virtue as an exercise with this franchise towards a more hopeful future near and far. These Seattle Mariners, 3.0 games back of the AL West and the third Wild Card spot alike, have earned little and less belief. They’ve played poorly, wasted chances, and […]

Hello everyone, and welcome to August. The M’s suffered another gut-wrenching loss, this time to the Twins by a 5-3 final with the bullpen failing to hold a slim lead. Anyway, here’s another random prompt for you: What is the MLB team you think about the least? For me it’s probably the Reds. In Mariners […]

Mariners write some sad, bad poetry, lose to Twins 5-3

Hello and welcome to Lookout Landing. If you’re new here and/or don’t hang out in the game threads, well, I can’t blame you, because this team is zero fun right now. Tonight the Mariners showed that home cooking isn’t any better and carried their miserable 2-6 road trip back to a long homestand, starting it […]

Mariners Game #111 Preview and Game Discussion: 7/31/26, Twins at Mariners

We’re back and not better than ever. The Mariners open one of their longest homestands of the season tonight, starting with the Twins for three games before the Tigers and Rays come to town, with the Rays series falling during the “50 Seasons” celebration. Also, it’s Fireworks Night, and you’ll just need to trust me […]

2026 MLB Trade Deadline: Open Thread

For many people, the trade deadline is one of the most exciting times in the baseball season, right up there with Opening Day and the playoffs. I am not one of these people, but I acknowledge and respect those who are. Feel free to use this as a space to chat about all the trade […]

Series Preview: Mariners (53-57) vs. Twins (55-55)

With that terrible road trip in the rearview mirror, the Mariners return to Seattle for the longest homestand of the season. At four games under .500, they’re a game away from matching their season’s nadir — they were five games under on April 17. That makes this series against the Twins all the more important. […]

The Blame Game

Nobody gets to fire two managers in two years. Jeff Passan went on the radio on Tuesday and placed the blame for the Mariners season at the feet of manager Dan Wilson. Passan heavily implied Wilson should be replaced, using logic I’ve seen plenty throughout the season: This roster is far too talented to be […]

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! The Mariners closed out their road trip with a whimper, dropping the series finale to the Dodgers 6-2. The team is in a rut, so I’m not going to ask you about them. Instead: what do you have planned for this upcoming weekend? In Mariners news… Around the league…

Dodgers bludgeon Mariners 6-2 with measuring stick

Baseball reminds us of our capacity for change. Not just incremental shifts that drip from the faucet at a glacially accelerating pace until one day they’ve reshaped the surface beneath them. Rapid, sudden changes in a sport notorious for its meandering heart. In roughly the time a new human being requires to gestate and be […]

Mariners Game #110 Preview and Discussion, 7/30/26: SEA at LAD

Yesterday, Ryan noted the Seattle Mariners had the chance to do something dumb. The option remains on the table tonight, particularly with Shohei Ohtani receiving a rest day. Against the resurgent Roki Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers, assuming simplicity is simple-minded itself. But Bryan Woo is facing his greatest enemy, with nothing to do […]

Good morning friends! The Mariners had yet another underwhelming offensive performance last night, dropping the middle game to the Dodgers 4-2. Given the complete inevitability of the Dodgers, is there any team you hate watching the Mariners play more than them? In Mariners news… Around the league…

Mariners lose to Dodgers 4-2

The Mariners lost another one of these. The lineup struggled for most of eight innings on Wednesday, before the bottom of the order scratched a run across in the eighth. They’d get another in the ninth. But the Dodgers lineup put tons of pressure on Emerson Hancock and the Mariners defense, eventually taking game two […]

Mariners Game #109 Preview and Discussion, 7/29/26: SEA at LAD

The Mariners have the chance to do something dumb tonight. After a month of terrible baseball and losing three-of-four to the Rangers over the weekend, it wouldn’t have been weird for the Mariners to get swept by the Dodgers. But the Mariners played an exceptionally entertaining game last night to narrowly take one from the […]

Mariners News: Emerson Hancock, Curtis Mead, and Casey Schmitt

Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off a much-needed vibes-cleansing 7-6 victory over the Dodgers thanks to some heroics by Dom Canzone and…Rob Refsnyder? Is this the turning point for the Mariners’ season, or just a brief moment of joy in a year mired in mediocrity? In Mariners news… Around the league…

Mariners Find Missing Pieces, Beat Dodgers 7-6

I’m no stranger to losing important things. “Severe” ADHD will do that to a person. I went through 14 student ID cards in college. I once lost my smartwatch for a year. I know exactly how much a replacement drivers license costs. In fact, just yesterday I found my wedding ring after several months, under […]
