Yesterday in the Moose Tracks, commenter Search4honor posed this question: For those who were here before the 2022 season.

In another sign that spring training is drawing closer, today the Mariners announced their 2026 NRIs.

The longest-tenured voice of Seattle Mariners baseball almost wasn’t. In 1983, Rick Rizzs was serving as the play-by-play announcer for the Columbus Clippers, at the time the Yankees’ Triple-A team. He’d been in the minor leagues for nine years, still waiting on a chance at a big-league job. It seemed like his opportunity had arrived; […]

Ben Williamson doesn’t rush; he just moves quickly. The defensive standout’s quick feet and steady hands earned him a promotion to MLB after just 689 plate appearances in the minors, despite his college career coming in the decidedly mid CAA. And he spent most of the first two-thirds of the 2025 season as the Mariners’ […]

As spring training draws ever nearer, the Mariners have again fortified the group of arms they’ll bring to camp (known around here as The Pitching Pile), acquiring RHP Cooper Criswell from the Mets for cash.

Spring training is fast approaching, but not fast enough for me. These days, we are in a serious baseball content drought: MLB The Show is in end-of-life, most of the major names have been signed, and the trade market is coming to a standstill. All I have left to keep me going these days is […]
According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal.

Yacksel Rios has also been in the Rays, White Sox, and Braves’ systems,...
The Mariners announced their minor league coaching staffs for the upcoming season this week.
