Latest news and updates about the Mariners
When the Seattle Mariners delivered the final rock to the windshield of the Angels organization in late summer of 2023, they sunset anything approaching justified contention in Anaheim for seasons to come. Unfortunately for Orange County, the Angels had shaken their purse and raided the couch cushions year after year. Some of that has come […]
In recent years, the Mariners have developed a bit of a reputation as a major pitching lab. Not just through their minor league system, but also the success stories of journeyman relievers coming through Seattle and turning middling careers into All-Star/Team USA appearances. A part of that is that the Mariners have a very specific […]
Good morning everyone! In case you missed it, the Mariners played a typically wild spring training game against the White Sox yesterday, losing to those pesky Sox by a 12-10 score. Whenever the Mariners play the White Sox, I can’t help but think of my parents’ friends Bill and Karen, who have remained diehard fans […]
It was a doozy of a Spring Training game in Peoria, Arizona, on Tuesday as both the White Sox (4-1) and Seattle Mariners (2-3) offenses exploded for 28 hits with the South Siders persevering to snag their fourth win. Both pitching staffs stumbled through the nine innings, with 19 hurlers making an appearance across both […]
Diane. It’s February 24th, 12:10 pm, mountain time. My investigation, in all it’s twists, turns, detours, and non-sequiturs has led me to the Peoria Sports Complex in the northwest corner of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Along the way, I stopped at the Whataburger just across the New River. And I have to say, it lived […]
Lefthander Anthony Kay will be making his Spring Training debut with the Chicago White Sox as Tuesday’s starting pitcher as the South Siders face the 2025 AL West division champion Seattle Mariners. Kay was signed as a free agent by Chicago in early December, hoping to make a comeback in the majors after two years […]
The Mariners are hosting the South Side Sox in Peoria Sports Complex this afternoon, and giving George Kirby his first innings of work of 2026. Following yesterday’s 0-3 loss, the Mariners are sending out a suspiciously Major League-shaped lineup, with Michael Arroyo and Colt Emerson serving as the obligatory “guys who are just happy to […]
White Sox outlast Mariners in Spring Training slugfest Battle of league-worsts ends in walk-off bomb White Sox debubble the Brewers, 5-2 White Sox report card is all A’s, 11-2 White Sox club Cubs, 8-1
The only player in this year’s top twenty that joins our rankings from another major league organization, Alex Hoppe has received more coverage this offseason than he’s likely ever gotten in his life. In what will be his third stand alone article in the span of three months, our staff placed Hoppe 16th in the […]
Shamelessly stealing this question from Jacob Hausdorf in the Moose Tracks yesterday because once Star Wars comes up, that’s just like tossing a package of snausages into a kennel, but I thought this question merited some focused discussion: Which non-Mariners pitcher and hitter are you most excited to watch this spring? Bonus if they’re in […]
Good Morning! The Mariners fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in yesterday’s Spring Training action. Logan Gilbert’s first start of the spring showcased his deadly splitter as he worked through two scoreless innings, allowing one hit with two strikeouts and two walks. Gilbert reiterated recently that his goal for every season is 32 starts […]
Alex Vesia pitched a scoreless inning on Monday against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch, which in itself wasn’t all that irregular. After all, the left-hander has been a staple in the Dodgers bullpen for four years, including 142 scoreless appearances lasting at least one inning last season during that time, most on the Dodgers. […]
Well, that was more spring baseball. The Mariners fourth Spring Training game on Monday was more of the same: weak at bats, sloppy play, and a bunch of names so unremarkable they didn’t even bother printing them on the jerseys. I still enjoyed it, though. These games might be meaningless, but they are still baseball, […]
The Dodgers are on a roll to begin the spring as they notched their third consecutive victory with a 3-0 shutout win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Landon Knack was given the start for Monday’s contest, making quick work of the Mariners by facing the minimum in the first inning while tossing just nine […]
The Dodgers play their first home game of the spring as they take on the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch. Landon Knack gets the start for the Dodgers. MONDAY GAME INFO
Hey, we’re about 10% through Spring Training. Logan Gilbert makes his first start of the spring. Gilbert is one of the Mariners many tinkerers, and I’ll be watching to see if he debuts any new pitches or pitch shapes this afternoon. It’ll be nice to see him, regardless. Cole Young and Colt Emerson each return […]
For the first time in site history, our annual preview of the Seattle Mariners’ opponents in the American League West can be done from a mountaintop perch. Looking down upon the rest of the division, the reigning AL West champions will hang their first division title banner in the rafters since 2001, and are well-positioned […]

Happy Monday! The Mariners are coming off a comeback 14-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, featuring game-altering RBIs from outfield prospects Jonny Farmelo and Brennen Davis. The game also included a total of nine challenges using the new ABS system, six of which were eventually overturned from home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski’s original calls. […]
The Cincinnati Reds fell to 0-2 in Cactus League play after a 14-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners at home in Goodyear on Sunday afternoon. Let’s take a closer look at what went down. The Good Veteran righty Randy Dobnak has thrown exactly 15.0 big league innings since the end of the 2021 season. He […]
If you turned this game off in the second inning, that’d be understandable. Maybe you are one of the many people who woke up incredibly early to watch the US men’s hockey team gold medal match against Canada. Also, this lazy Sunday game was the first radio-only affair of the spring, held down by the […]
The Mariners close up the first weekend of Spring Training 2026 with a game against the Reds. As opposed to the B-lineup we saw yesterday, today looks more like the spring training opener, aside from those last three. Top prospect Michael Arroyo gets another chance at second base, and the left side of the infield […]
The Cincinnati Reds dropped their Cactus League opener on Saturday as the Cleveland Guardians downed them to the tune of 4 to 2. The good news, though, is twofold. For one, the final score of these games means absolutely nothing right now. Second, today the Reds are actually rolling out a lineup full of their […]
The Dodgers on Monday make their 2026 Camelback Ranch debut, hosting the Mariners for their third Cactus League game on the schedule. Landon Knack gets the ball to start for the Dodgers, after a rough second season in the majors in 2025. Knack had a 4.89 ERA and 5.66 xERA in 10 games last year, […]
One of the things about having a more established team is there are fewer spring training roster battles. Backup catcher isn’t exactly the most glamorous position, especially when backing up one of the league’s more famous iron men, but it is one of the things we have to watch this spring alongside the yearly bullpen […]
