Free Agent Profile: Kazuma Okamoto

Until this week, it was unknown if 3B/1B Kazuma Okamoto would even be available for MLB teams. The Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball are known for refusing to post their star players, so if Okamoto wanted to play stateside, he’d naturally become an international free agent in another year’s time. Despite an injury-shortened season […]

Jesús Montero and the tyranny of expectations

Former Mariners catcher and designated hitter Jesús Montero died last week after succumbing to injuries sustained when his motorcycle crashed into a truck in Caracas, Venezuela, on October 4. He was 35 years old. If you were a Mariners fan during Montero’s time with the team, this sad news probably brought back unpleasant memories of […]

Jerry Dipoto: Mariners off-season to focus on sustainability

The sting hasn’t worn off quite yet. “We’re still in grief mode,” said Mariners team president Jerry Dipoto at today’s end-of-season media availability.

Tails never fails

The 2025 Mariners are no more.  I already wrote my season recap. I intentionally published it before the playoffs to feel like I could say something objective without the benefit of hindsight. The playoffs are random, if you hadn’t heard. They’re a short series of coin flips. The best player in MLB can lose. The […]

There’s some crying in baseball

I was seven years old when I had my heart broken for the first time. Funnily enough, it wasn’t by the Mariners. The year was 2001. The Mariners had lost in the ALCS the year before, but I was too young to understand what that meant. My brain must have undergone some maturation that winter […]

Dear Tim (again)

Hey Tim, Last time I wrote* was to exalt. Today it’s in desolation. Mariners baseball, huh? Last night, your Seattle Mariners lost Game 7 of the ALCS to the Toronto Blue Jays. I refuse to get into bullpen management discourse with you again, but suffice to say that it was a heartbreaker. That’s kind of […]

Mariners’ magical run comes to an end in 4-3 loss to Blue Jays

It was always going to Game 7. The Mariners have given fans a magical ride this season, but they haven’t always made it easy. Whether extra-inning games, or late-inning heroics, or winning streaks followed by losing streaks, or pushing things to the make-or-break moments, the Mariners have been playing Game 7 in one form or […]
