40 in 40: Blas Castaño, Schrödinger’s Castaño

It is March 9th, 2026. Blas Castaño is getting A-side bullpen reps for the Mariners while some of his teammates are away playing for their respective teams in the World Baseball Classic. With so many regulars resting or away at the WBC, the field looks much more like one of his Triple-A Tacoma games than […]

40 in 40: You’ve Gotta Hand It To Miles Mastrobuoni

I’ve never viewed myself as a Miles Mastrobuoni truther. With all due respect, I’m not sure that many people have. If I started this article by asking if we’re underappreciating Miles Mastrobuoni, I don’t even know if you’d keep reading. The majority of his plate appearances, on the surface, seem to back up these claims. […]

40 in 40: J.P. Crawford is our shortstop

This is J.P. Crawford’s last 40 in 40.  Crawford is the longest tenured Mariner. He came to Seattle at the start of the retool way back in December 2018. Félix was still a Mariner. Seager was still a Mariner. Colt Emerson was 14. Crawford was a “glove first” shortstop in his first few seasons. That […]

40 in 40: Emerson Hancock’s 2026 season will be Golden

Brussels sprouts, my sister’s boyfriend, yoga, the television show Letterkenny, most weird chip flavors, The Ballad of Dood & Juanita, and Emerson Hancock.  It was not my intention to cultivate any affinity for this Georgia fella, but by the time we closed out the 2025 season it seemed that prolonged exposure had worked its magic […]

40 in 40: Casey Legumina should have some New Year’s resolutions

Sometimes, it’s not your year. In 897 CE, millions of things occurred each day with great meaning to the people living at the time. However, it’s among the less consequential years I could identify in cursory historical research. Tensions and conflicts abounded, but with a scope of the world more limited than the modern day, […]

40 in 40: Julio Rodríguez is the Edgar

Nine years ago, there’d been Julio Rodríguez’s before. Each year, dozens of teenagers consummate handshake deals often made when they were middle schoolers, making them millionaires in theory, if not in actuality. From Venezuela to Taiwan, Brazil to Cuba, but perhaps most of all in the Dominican Republic, their signing is a celebration. Nine years […]

40 in 40: There’s something in Bryce Miller’s arm

Not Jacob Misiorowski. Not Paul Skenes. No, not even Stephen Strasburg. The best starting pitcher debut this century belongs to none other than Bryce Miller. In the first five starts of his career, way back in 2023, Miller threw 31.1 innings, allowed four runs on 13 hits, walked three, and struck out 28. By Game […]

40 in 40: Robinson Ortiz: Caribbean fusion

Before staff writer Zach Mason his most treasured southpaw, the acquisition of Gabe Speier was first the root of a beloved, now-prescient, joke from Jordan Schusterman, one half of the Cespedes Family BBQ duo. Magicking relievers from the fringes of rosters into high-leverage dynamos is difficult work, but Seattle’s reputation has been well-earned. The 2022 […]

40 in 40: Luke Raley, Bunting About Architecture

Luke Raley’s alma mater is Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio. Founded in 1856 as a female seminary, the school initially aimed to educate the gentler sex in the domestic arts and etiquette, but gradually became a cradle of the suffragist movement, hosting speakers like Jane Addams and Susan B. Anthony and educating the women’s […]
