The Seattle Mariners announced Monday that both Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor have undergone surgery to address nagging injuries that impacted them throughout the 2026 season. Both players are expected to be fully healthy and ready for the start of Spring Training. Raleigh underwent surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder for debridement of his AC […]
Nostalgia is an odd thing. In sports, it typically revolves around something good: a championship, a dynasty, something in the record books for all time. When a team goes a long while without one of those, their fans’ nostalgia becomes somewhere between quaint and delusional (the position along that line determined by the loudness of the fanbase). But for a team without any championship glory? A team whose most famous moment was not a World Series or even a pennant, but instead a narrow ...
The Seattle Mariners missed the playoffs this year after ending the 2026 season with a 76-86 record. It was a noticeably tough campaign for Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor, as neither of them seemed capable of getting hot at the plate.

The organization […] The post Mariners’ Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor get injury updates after difficult offensive seasons appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Both players are coming off […]
Mariners right-hander George Kirby just put together the worst season of his career. He stumbled to a 4.33 ERA as one of the key contributors to a disappointing season for Seattle’s vaunted rotation. Kirby’s 4.20 xERA suggests he earned every bit of the poor performance. His strikeout numbers fell to career-low levels while his elite […]

Crazy what happens when the roof is open, huh Milwaukee? Still, I’ve never seen anything like Ty France’s long out on Saturday night in a playoff game. It’s why baseball playoffs are the best. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The first day of the Division Series is done and recency bias is working on me big time because I am struggling to see how any of the four 0-1 teams can overcome the deficit in these five-game series. I’ve always said the MLB playoffs are the best playoffs because it isn’t necessarily who has […]

The Seattle Mariners need a manager who can turn expectations into consistent execution. Torey Lovullo’s return to the Arizona Diamondbacks narrows down the search, but it should not lower Seattle’s standards after a 76-86 season cost Dan Wilson his job. The Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro took to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday to report that […] The post 3 manager candidates Mariners must pivot to after Torey Lovullo’s Diamondbacks return appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Seattle Mariners are looking for a new manager after a disappointing season. It appears a well-known Major League Baseball manager is in the mix for the job. “Joe Espada could also be an option if the Houston Astros don’t bring him back,” The Athletic reported. Espada just led the Astros to the Major League […] The post Mariners rumors: Insider mentions Joe Espada as potential fit for Seattle manager opening appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Seattle Mariners have made use of the waiver wire to start October, claiming 1B/OF Michael Toglia from the Cincinnati Reds. The 28 year old switch-hitter missed much of the 2026 season with a dislocated right shoulder suffered while making a diving catch. The preparation for the surgery revealed a torn labrum as well, which […]
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. It’s a bit of an archaism, given that “have” can mean “eat”, but it’s an apt turn of phrase to describe the pitfalls the Seattle Mariners have fallen into from ownership on down. This attitude meshes with and reinforces their approach to risk; there is a genuine desire to win within the ownership group, but they aren’t willing to take on what they see as risks to revenue in order to achieve those wins. They believe - and the front office tells the...
The Michael Toglia Era in Cincinnati Reds history was short and sweet despite the man, who I’m sure is sweet enough, being anything but short. The 6’5” former 1st round pick of the Colorado Rockies spent the 2026 season within the Reds organization, plying his trade almost exclusively with AAA Louisville. As the injuries and […]
The Mariners have claimed first baseman Michael Toglia off waivers from the Reds, per a team announcement. It wasn’t previously reported that Cincinnati had placed Toglia on waivers. He’d been on the 60-day IL since early September after dislocating his shoulder. Cincinnati added Toglia on a minor league deal over the winter after Colorado dropped […]
The current Collective Bargaining Agreement in Major League Baseball ends on December 1, 2026. Most assume there will be a lockout of some kind as the owners and players fight for things they want, including the league desiring the implementation of a salary cap. The situation might even get to the point where the 2027 regular season is shortened or altered in some way. Things might get messy. What can’t happen during that undetermined amount of time? Trades and signings. That will be a...

There’s a well-worn business cliche that “hope is not a strategy.” Unfortunately for the 2026 Mariners, there was too much hoping, and not enough strategizing. In speaking with players and front office members over the last few weeks as the 2026 Mariners season limped to its agonizing, inevitable conclusion, one common theme jumped out: the […]
The Seattle Mariners never got the chance to discuss their managerial opening with Torey Lovullo before the Arizona Diamondbacks retained him on a two-year contract. Lovullo remained under contract through October 31, 2026, preventing the Mariners from contacting him unless Arizona granted permission. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale explained Thursday on X, formerly Twitter, why the […] The post Why Mariners couldn’t even discuss managerial opening with Torey Lovullo appeared first on ClutchPoin...
With Lovullo's future up in the air in Arizona, Seattle had been linked as a potential destination in recent days.

At the start of every season, fans take a look at the Seattle Mariners roster and wonder if it will finally be the season when they win it all. This year was surely no exception.
