Latest news and updates about the Mariners
Infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson has signed a minor league contract with the Mariners after electing free agency in lieu of an outright assignment from the Orioles late last week. The team never formally announced the signing, but Wilson made his organizational debut with the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma two days ago. He’s picked up a […]
After selecting Kade Anderson with the third overall pick in last year’s draft, the Mariners undoubtedly secured the best lefthander in all of college baseball and broke something of a trend with their heavy emphasis on right-handed pitchers. With an opportunity to yet again secure the best left hander amongst the college ranks this season, […]
The Mariners lost last to the birdos last night, despite a pretty decent outing from George Kirby. That’s a sentence we’ve written on this blog a lot. The rubber match is an early one today, 1:10 first pitch, on Mariners TV and 710 KIRO. Bryan Woo v. Shane Baz. Also, our long national nightmare is […]
One of the most frustrating features of the 2026 Mariners has been their inconsistency. They’ll have a great homestand just to muddle through a poor road trip; work a hard-fought series win only to drop the next two; and most frustratingly, follow up a fun, vibes-cleansing win like last night’s game with a real stinker […]
If you’re an eagle-eyed consumer of random Orioles stats, you might have seen that the Orioles are 7-3 on Wednesdays, so this game was pretty much in the bag before a pitch was thrown. Or was it that incredibly involved handshake Pete Alonso and Adley Rutschman tried out in the dugout? Or was it … […]

Tonight the Mariners will play their sixth game against the Orioles in the last ten days. I will be filing a complaint.

Good morning Birdland, It looked like the Orioles were still operating on east coast time and up past their curfew in the 3-1 loss to the Mariners on Tuesday night. The first inning was somewhat encouraging. Taylor Ward opened with a double and later scored on a Samuel Basallo single. But the entire lineup collected […]
The Seattle Mariners made multiple roster moves this week following Randy Arozarena's hamstring injury. The Mariners placed Arozarena on the 10-day injured list and called up Curtis Washington Jr.
Cal Raleigh returned to the lineup tonight and delivered a game-winning hit, Logan Gilbert had one of his best outings of the season, and Andrés Muñoz sealed the win in a game that felt as familiarly comfortable as a well-loved pair of slippers. For a Mariners season that’s been inconsistent, to put things kindly, it […]

General manager Justin Hollander said the club built the plan with input from Luis Castillo, Bryce Miller, Bryan Woo, Logan Gilbert, Emerson Hancock, and George […] The post Mariners pitchers agree to unique piggyback pitching plan appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The injury hits just keep coming for the Mariners. Randy Arozarena departed Friday’s game against the Nationals with a tweaked hamstring, sitting out the rest of the series.

The Mariners limp back home after a rough road trip but have to face the same team again as the Orioles come to town. Jake covered this well in his cleverly-titled series preview, which you can check out here. Lineups: The good news is J.P. and Cal are back. The bad news is the Mariners […]
Late night baseball, woo! Let’s do this thing. I’ll be honest, I probably won’t make it to the third inning of this thing. But one thing that might keep me up is tonight’s starting pitcher, Brandon Young. It still hasn’t stopped feeling weird to say that he’s the best starting pitcher on the team, but […]
If you took a look at Tuesday’s Mariners lineup and did a double take, you can be forgiven. J.P. Crawford and Cal Raleigh have returned to the lineup, both activated off the IL today, but the Mariners are still down some players, with Randy Arozarena and Josh Naylor both battling some minor injuries. Luke Raley […]
