Last time we spoke, we wanted to hear from you, the reader, about spring training. As we all know, the roster gets crunched in the spring, crushing dreams, occasionally ending careers, and dashing the hopes of young prospects everywhere. We all know how it goes. One of the items we discussed was who stands to […]

Jared Sundstrom’s surface numbers from the 2025 season do not scream “Top Twenty Prospect” by any stretch of the imagination.

Rob Refsnyder was one of the worst players in MLB from 2015-2021. He’s now a crucial member of the Mariners’ title run. Refsnyder posted -1.0 fWAR in the seven years that followed his MLB debut in 2015. It wasn’t just one bad season but the slow accumulation of negative value across several years and teams. […]

When Mason Peters was selected out of Dallas Baptist in last year’s draft, the young left-hander was (perhaps fairly) overshadowed by several players capable of headlining a draft class by themselves. Kade Anderson, Nick Becker, and Luke Stevenson were all given first round grades last season, so Seattle managing to land all three was a […]

The reports are starting to filter in from Peoria and we’re starting to get some downright tantalizing videos of pitchers throwing bullpens.

Three days ago, ESPN published a tongue-in-cheek article called “Why Your Team Didn’t Do What You Wanted This Winter.” In a spectrum that ran Dodgers-to-Rockies, the Mariners were thankfully much closer to the Dodgers side of things, but Bradford Doolittle, the author, did question why the Mariners didn’t get another lefty bullpen arm to help […]

I spent all night making buttons for it […]

As a child in Catholic school I was taught the difference between want and need. Needs: food, shelter, water, clean air to breathe. Wants were everything else, always tinged with a suspicion of selfishness. The implication was clear: wants were excessive, amoral, ungodly. So as a kid I never asked at a birthday party for […]

Joining our 2026 prospect rankings at #19 overall, Beilenson is our first of a few pure relief prospects we’ll see on the back half of our rankings this year.
