Latest news and updates about the Mariners
The Mariners fell well short of expectations in 2026. The goal will be to get back on track in 2027. They will need their core players to have bounceback campaigns but they should also be able to make moves with money to spend and pitching to trade.

During a Sept. 28 press conference , Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto stated unprompted that if he had been fired following this season, it would have been justified. This is an extremely funny thing to say when you have not lost your job, especially when contextualized by your firings of five of your colleagues in the surrounding 48 hours, all of whom you hired. The difference between having your hypothetical firing rendered justifiable and having your walking papers act...

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 […]
