40 in 40: Andrés Muñoz is doing all that’s asked of him

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 […]

Mariners acquire RHP Yosver Zulueta from Reds

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 […]

Seattle Mariners 2026 International Signings Tracker

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 […]

The HaLL of Fame: Lookout Landing’s 2026 Hall of Fame ballots

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a shrine to Remembering Some Guys. While some hold distaste for the organization’s arcane machinations, the Hall is a critical resource for something preciously integral to sports fandom: arguing passionately about things that only matter *because* we care about them. In this tradition, the staff of […]

Mariners Reacts Survey: 42 days till Spring

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 […]

40 in 40: Meet the new Matt Brash (but don’t get too used to him)

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 […]

40 in 40: Blas Castaño, Schrödinger’s Castaño

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 […]

40 in 40: You’ve Gotta Hand It To Miles Mastrobuoni

I’ve never viewed myself as a Miles Mastrobuoni truther. With all due respect, I’m not sure that many people have. If I started this article by asking if we’re underappreciating Miles Mastrobuoni, I don’t even know if you’d keep reading. The majority of his plate appearances, on the surface, seem to back up these claims. […]

40 in 40: J.P. Crawford is our shortstop

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 […]

40 in 40: Emerson Hancock’s 2026 season will be Golden

Brussels sprouts, my sister’s boyfriend, yoga, the television show Letterkenny, most weird chip flavors, The Ballad of Dood & Juanita, and Emerson Hancock.  It was not my intention to cultivate any affinity for this Georgia fella, but by the time we closed out the 2025 season it seemed that prolonged exposure had worked its magic […]

Bryce Miller and Mariners to test arbitration, as Seattle reaches deals w/six other players

The Seattle Mariners announced Thursday that they’ve reached agreements to avoid salary arbitration with six of their seven arb-eligible players. Randy Arozarena, Matt Brash, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Luke Raley, and Gabe Speier all found an accord with the Mariners ahead of today’s deadline for offering salary figures. The loan player with which Seattle did […]

40 in 40: Casey Legumina should have some New Year’s resolutions

Sometimes, it’s not your year. In 897 CE, millions of things occurred each day with great meaning to the people living at the time. However, it’s among the less consequential years I could identify in cursory historical research. Tensions and conflicts abounded, but with a scope of the world more limited than the modern day, […]

40 in 40: Julio Rodríguez is the Edgar

Nine years ago, there’d been Julio Rodríguez’s before. Each year, dozens of teenagers consummate handshake deals often made when they were middle schoolers, making them millionaires in theory, if not in actuality. From Venezuela to Taiwan, Brazil to Cuba, but perhaps most of all in the Dominican Republic, their signing is a celebration. Nine years […]

40 in 40: There’s something in Bryce Miller’s arm

Not Jacob Misiorowski. Not Paul Skenes. No, not even Stephen Strasburg. The best starting pitcher debut this century belongs to none other than Bryce Miller. In the first five starts of his career, way back in 2023, Miller threw 31.1 innings, allowed four runs on 13 hits, walked three, and struck out 28. By Game […]
