Last off-season, in the deep gloom of winter, the Mariners hosted an informal pre-spring training media event, an opportunity for local media to get to know Dan Wilson in a non-game setting after he was thrust into the managerial role late in the season. At the time, the team’s major off-season moves included bringing back […]
Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Cleveland Guardians are hiring longtime Seattle Mariners front office member Andy McKay to be a field coordinator.

It’s officially the off-season, meaning it’s time for T-Mobile Park to take a well-deserved nap before another year of hosting millions of eager footsteps, thousands of chair creaks, and innumerable elbows leaning on every stable surface.

Cal Raleigh’s historic 2025 season has earned its most unsurprising honor. The Mariners backstop won the American League Silver Slugger award for the catcher position. Raleigh’s possible MVP season was assured this title a full month before the season’s conclusion, but the confirmation officially enters Raleigh into fresh tiers of Mariners history. He becomes the […]
The World Series is over, every team has started it’s annual start-of-the-offseason roster housekeeping, and the hot stove is about to heat up. For this week’s MaiLLbag, I’ve picked four questions and enlisted Max, Kate, and Eric for an assist. If you asked a question in the site comments or on BlueSky and haven’t seen […]

Well, the season has come to a close, the World Series is over, and we can all settle in for the Seahawks to make their own playoff run. The winter is off to a quiet start as always, but there’s so much to look forward to for the Mariners for the first time in a […]
After yesterday’s minor deal with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire a potential bullpen arm in Cole Wilcox, POBO Jerry Dipoto and GM Justin Hollander remain active in their efforts to add to The Pile this offseason and claimed RHP Ryan Loutos from the Washington Nationals.

The Seattle Mariners have made their first acquisition of the 2025-26 offseason, acquiring RHP Cole Wilcox from the Tampa Bay Rays.

Partnered in […]
Here we will endeavor to track every move the Mariners make during the 2025-2026 off-season, with links to further coverage if warranted. November 4: Mariners exercise club option on closer Andrés Muñoz. Mariners decline mutual option on catcher Mitch Garver, who is now a free agent along with Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Luke Jackson and […]
With the closure of the World Series and free agency officially open, we are now into the 2025-2026 MLB off-season. This will potentially be the last “normal” off-season before a looming lockout/labor stoppage, especially given the renewed discussion of a salary cap after the Dodgers’ repeat World Series title. The off-season isn’t my favorite time […]

With the World Series about to wrap up, I thought it would be a good time to reintroduce the MaiLLbag to answer your burning questions about the Mariners and the wider world of baseball. We got a pretty good response from the initial call for questions so I’m hoping to make this a regular feature […]
Until this week, it was unknown if 3B/1B Kazuma Okamoto would even be available for MLB teams. The Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball are known for refusing to post their star players, so if Okamoto wanted to play stateside, he’d naturally become an international free agent in another year’s time. Despite an injury-shortened season […]
