Four days after being cut by the Seattle Mariners, all-star relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz was re-signed to a minor league contract, per baseball columnist Jon Heyman.

The Seattle Mariners got some significant business done just before Opening Day. They signed catcher Cal Raleigh to a six-year extension worth $105 million. He was rewarded for his great defensive catching while being one of Seattle’s best hitters. Mariners president Jerry DiPoto released a statement about Raleigh in the official announcement. “Cal is central […]

MLB Opening Day is March 27, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the biggest name involved in trade rumors. The Toronto Blue Jays have not been able to come to terms on a contract agreement with their star first baseman, and now they are at risk of losing him in free agency next offseason. While a […]

It’s time to continue our MLB odds series with an Athletics-Mariners prediction and pick. Find out how to watch Athletics-Mariners.

“The Kid,” “Junior,” “The Natural” – whatever you want to call him, MLB legend Ken Griffey Jr. is undoubtedly the coolest person to ever step foot on a baseball diamond.

The Seattle Mariners have playoff expectations heading into 2025. After a historic collapse in 2024, they need better offense to power through a crowded American League Wild Card race.

The Seattle Mariners cruised to a 14-1 win over the White Sox on Saturday, but the celebration was tempered by a concerning moment involving outfielder Victor Robles.

In the volatile world of baseball, consistency is something to be cherished.

On Saturday, Seattle Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert was named the team’s Opening Day starter for the 2025 season, marking a significant milestone in his career. Manager Dan Wilson announced that Gilbert would take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on March 27 at T-Mobile Park. The decision came as a slight surprise, as three-time All-Star […]

The Seattle Mariners recently announced that Logan Gilbert will start Opening Day. Luis Castillo was a candidate as well, but Gilbert ultimately earned the nod. Castillo seems to be in support of Gilbert, however. “For five seconds probably I don’t think a word came out, I was just, like, taking it in,” Gilbert told reporters, […]

The Seattle Mariners made a few roster moves on Friday. As the Mariners prepare for the 2025 season, releasing a former All-Star was among the aforementioned moves. The team announced veteran reliever Neftali Feliz has been released. Feliz, 36, made his MLB debut in 2009 with the Texas Rangers. His rookie season was technically in […]

Kevin Durant has been a big fan of Seattle Mariners centerfielder Julio Rodriguez for quite some time. In his first two seasons in the majors, he took the league by storm. For instance, Rodriguez won the 2022 AL Rookie of the Year award. Not to mention, he made the All-Star game twice, as well as […]

The Seattle Mariners did not make many changes over the offseason. After a mediocre 2024 campaign, Mariners fans expected general manager Jerry Dipoto to make some moves to get them over the hump. Dipoto gave his thoughts during spring training. Dipoto believes the team is capable of getting the job done as is. “Our story […]

Veteran infielder Justin Turner had a brief stint with the Seattle Mariners in 2024 after being traded from the Toronto Blue Jays, and while he enjoyed his time in Seattle, he, like many MLB fans, have ripped the team’s lack of spending after joining the Chicago Cubs for the 2025 season. “The fact that they […]

Their 33-30 record after the […]

The Seattle Mariners have been blessed with some pretty great players in their team history.

The Seattle Mariners have added another power bat to their roster, signing first baseman Rowdy Tellez to a minor league contract with an invite to MLB spring training.

The Seattle Mariners and manager Dan Wilson have Spring Training to figure out a consistent lineup involving outfielder Mitch Haniger.

Regardless of that, Haniger […]

The Seattle Mariners have a bit of a competition at second base, with Dylan Moore being viewed as the favorite for the job and Leo Rivas and Ryan Bliss also in the picture.

The Seattle Mariners have spent the offseason addressing some key areas, but if they truly want to maximize their potential in 2025, there’s still work to be done. The team made significant strides offensively down the stretch last season, but relying on those improvements alone to carry over into the new year would be a […]

The Toronto Blue Jays and star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were not able to agree on a contract extension before the slugger’s set deadline, and he will be hitting free agency next offseason, leaving many wondering if he will be traded at some point either this spring or in the summer before the trade […]

As is the case with all sports, trade rumors are always fun to dissect. They are what keep each offseason inching along, even when nothing is actually happening.

The Seattle Mariners hope to take the next step in 2025. The Emerald City shines as we continue our MLB odds series with a Seattle Mariners over/under win total prediction and pick.

The Seattle Mariners entered the offseason needing to bolster an offense to back up an elite starting rotation.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal doesn’t buy Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry DiPoto’s explanation that the team’s lack of movement is […]

The Seattle Mariners collapsed late in the 2024 season and missed the playoffs again. Their offense cratered, posting the second-worst team batting average in all of baseball. After opening up a ten-game AL West lead in June and blowing it, they fired manager Scott Servais. Their offseason has been quiet so far but a big […]

Veteran infielder Jorge Polanco will not be going anywhere else.

With Spring Training just weeks away, Pete Alonso remains unsigned. The two-time Home Run Derby winner and lifelong New York Met doesn’t seem to be on the same page as his former club in terms of contract negotiations, leaving his ultimate destination wide open. Coming off of three straight All-Star appearances, Alonso brings plenty to […]

MLB free agency is nearing a close and Kike Hernandez is still available. After a great run with the Los Angeles Dodgers, his time in Hollywood is likely over. They brought in Michael Conforto and kept Teoscar Hernandez, squeezing him out. The utility player would be a fit almost anywhere, including with the Pittsburgh Pirates. […]

JD Martinez is still available as MLB free agency winds down. The 37-year-old was solid as the designated hitter for the New York Mets last year and should be on a one-year contract again. While he is not the impactful bat he was back in his Detroit Tigers days, he could be a power bat […]

Arguably the best hitter to ever live is heading to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was announced as one of three members who will be inducted this summer, joining CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

There’s always one guy. Or, in the case of the Baseball Hall of Fame, there’s been “one guy” twice, first for Derek Jeter and now for Ichiro Suzuki. Like Jeter in 2020, Ichiro came one vote shy of unanimous induction in his first year on the ballot. The voter responsible has not been revealed. Ichiro, […]
