40 in 40: Rhylan Thomas is a contact-driven, left-handed seventh outfielder
The little apartment on the second floor of one of the many old Victorian homes on Chestnut Street is almost entirely empty. Billed as a two bedroom place by Joe, an acquaintance of an acquaintance whose last name will always be a mystery, it appears to have been designed by someone who never lived indoors. […]
Pre-season Pile Pick: Which new Mariner pitcher is your breakout candidate?
The reports are starting to filter in from Peoria and we’re starting to get some downright tantalizing videos of pitchers throwing bullpens. Before we get too into the buzzy part of spring, or Overreact To Small Sample Size Theater, take this opportunity to stake your claim: which of the new Mariners arms are you predicting […]

Mariners acquire lefty reliever Josh Simpson from Miami
Three days ago, ESPN published a tongue-in-cheek article called “Why Your Team Didn’t Do What You Wanted This Winter.” In a spectrum that ran Dodgers-to-Rockies, the Mariners were thankfully much closer to the Dodgers side of things, but Bradford Doolittle, the author, did question why the Mariners didn’t get another lefty bullpen arm to help […]
Ryan Bliss, the mountain holds the cards
Embarrassing confession time: I unabashedly love the Olympic Games. In my defense, it’s in my DNA: I was born during the Lake Placid Olympics, a week before the Miracle On Ice. Wait, let me make this even more embarrassing: I love the Olympics largely because I was a kid in Seattle for the 1990 Goodwill […]

Mariners Spring Training Broadcast Schedule
Spring Training games start this week, meaning we are on the clock for an Opening Day countdown. We’ll be wrapping up the 40 in 40 series this week, finishing our prospect rankings, and rolling into Opening Day with our analysis of the other squads in the AL West. In the meantime, we have actual spring […]

Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/14/16: Bryan Woo, Zac Gallen, and Shelby Miller
Good morning everyone and happy Valentines Day! A quick reminder that if you’re in the Seattle area, Kate is hosting a Heated Rivalry watch party/trivia night today at Kate’s Pub in Wallingford (now known as The Rebel) at 5pm. If you don’t have any plans today, go join some friends to enjoy drinks and good […]
Question of the day – Which Mariners starter to extend: Gilbert, Kirby, or Woo?
Today’s Question of the day comes from yesterday’s Moose Tracks via poster Tuojiangoland: Never has the best answer ever been a more “EVERYONE!!!” answer than right here, but for the sake of conversation, let’s say the Mariners can and will only choose one Mariners starting pitcher to offer a long term contract extension. Who do […]
40 in 40: Andrew Knizner backs it up
Upon the departure of Mitch Garver, the Mariners entered this winter with a hole in their catching corps. Wait, what? I don’t need to get into how magnificent Cal Raleigh’s historic 2025 was here. You know it. I know it. The girl reading this knows it. What may have fallen through in his charge to […]
Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/13/26: Jose Ferrer, Nick Castellanos, and Liam Hendriks
In Mariners news… Around the league… Shameless self-promotion alert: I (Kate) am hijacking Becca’s links post to say that this Saturday, so tomorrow, my friends who took over Kate’s Pub in Wallingford—now known as The Rebel—are hosting a Heated Rivalry watch party/trivia night starting at 5 PM. I spent all night making buttons for it […]
Everyone loves a parade, and Mariners fans should too
As a child in Catholic school I was taught the difference between want and need. Needs: food, shelter, water, clean air to breathe. Wants were everything else, always tinged with a suspicion of selfishness. The implication was clear: wants were excessive, amoral, ungodly. So as a kid I never asked at a birthday party for […]
40 in 40: You can plan on Dom Canzone
At two on the ante meridium, you’ll find me asleep. Most nights, this is no guarantee. Fiddling and futzing, filming and flamming, the unobserved hours of night offer me nourishing ease for my brain’s constructive efforts. It’s your fault, really, and Dominic Canzone is one of you, to be so damned compelling that in the […]
Mariners Prospect Rankings 2026: #19, RHP Charlie Beilenson
Joining our 2026 prospect rankings at #19 overall, Beilenson is our first of a few pure relief prospects we’ll see on the back half of our rankings this year. Something that’s been atypical in recent seasons, with the large exodus of prospect talent over the past year and change, some of these higher floor relief […]

Hello everyone! As spring camps open up around the league, we had a flurry of injury news and last-minute signings. Let’s get to all of that and more to begin this Thursday. In Mariners news… Around the league…
40 in 40: José Ferrer and the negative space
We all know Henri Matisse the painter, with his vivid use of color and bold brushstrokes, leading with emotion over realism (distinct characteristics of Fauvism, so named after critics referred to the artists of the movement as fauves, or “wild beasts”). But in his later years, declining health made painting inaccessible, so he shifted to […]
Pretty in PECOTA, Mariners projected for best record in the American League
Pitchers and catchers are reporting, and so are public projection systems. Baseball Prospectus has released their 2026 projections from PECOTA, with a glowing 93.6-win aggregated projection for the Seattle Mariners that is the best in the American League by a sizable margin. Not only is Seattle projected to repeat as AL West champions, but they […]
Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/11/26: Justin Verlander, Aaron Civale, and Anthony Santander
Good morning everyone and happy Mariners Pitchers and Catchers Report Day! We should get a healthy dose of news today for the M’s — hopefully all of it good news — as we learn what everyone has been up to over the winter. Let’s check in on the rest of the league, where some camps […]

Mariners prospect rankings 2026: #20, 3B/1B Luis Suisbel
It’s time for our annual prospect write-ups looking over the Mariners system, voted on by our prospect team here at Lookout Landing (Max Ellingsen, John Trupin, and myself). Last week, we introduced our honorable mentions groups of both pitchers and position players who just fell outside of our top 20. Now we’ll be working through […]
40 in 40: Victor Robles and annus horribilis, mirabilis
Grief is frightening territory to navigate. There’s no set roadmap for it, and it affects every person differently. It is as if a chaotic roommate moves into your body and assumes the controls part of the time: you make choices you don’t recognize; say things and wonder whose mouth made those words; sleep entirely too […]
Which Mariners spring training storylines are you most excited to watch?
The Super Bowl always, for me, marks the transition between the end of Other Sports season and the beginning of Baseball Season. Pitchers and catchers report this week, players are already in Arizona, and it feels like we’re ready to start grinding on the 2026 season. It’s an especially exciting one, with the Mariners’ deep […]
40 in 40: Let Eduard Bazardo rest
There’s one pitch that sums up Eduard Bazardo’s 2025 season. I don’t need to beat around the bush, we all know it. Let’s just roll the clip and get it over with: Bleh. Thank goodness that’s over with, no more MLB Network re-runs needed. On July 12th, in the bottom of the 8th inning, against […]
