AL West Preview – Rangers Pitchers, restocked with vets

The Rangers led all of baseball in run prevention in 2025. Behind a full, healthy season from Jacob deGrom, a career-best and injury-shortened season from Nathan Eovaldi, and a big step forward from Jack Leiter, the starting rotation was among the best in baseball and the bullpen was deceptively deep. Even though the team led […]

World Baseball Classic Day 3 Recap/Day 4 Preview

Yesterday’s thrilling US-Mexico game was spoiled for many Mariners fans by the awkward interaction between Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena, which Nick will have a full piece breaking down with quotes from Dan Wilson later. For now, here’s a brief summary of what happened in Day 3 of the WBC, and a guide to watching […]

Mariners Prospect Rankings #12, OF Yorger Bautista

Last January’s premiere signing out of Venezuela, Bautista entered the system with high praise amongst scouts familiar with his game. Lauded as perhaps the highest ceiling player in the entire class, Bautista lay claim to potentially plus power, 70-grade run times, and a howitzer of an arm in the outfield. The only real thing missing […]

Kade Anderson measures up

Kade Anderson’s fastball is neither fast nor shapely, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.  Anderson’s first two outings this Spring have been somewhat controversial. He’s earned rave reviews from the Mariners and the media, but the underlying data has lagged behind. Public “stuff” models are somewhat skeptical of his arsenal, and his vaunted fastball […]

Mariners Spring Training 2026, Game #17

We’re back, and so is J.P. Crawford. The Mariners play the Diamondbacks in another rousing round of Spring baseball. Crawford is in the lineup and playing shortstop for the first time this Spring, after a slower start than usual while battling shoulder issues. Ryan Bliss and Brendan Donovan flank him on either side of the […]

AL West Preview – Rangers Position Players, finding Nimmo

Years ago, it was this exercise that sent me down a road of becoming mildly Rangers-pilled. This year, there is no such risk.  If you are looking at the lineup and notable off-season moves and feeling lightly confused by the seeming absence of any clear strategy, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Led by beloved former […]

World Baseball Classic Day 3 Recap/ Day 4 Preview

Sunday was a day of excitement and devastation for baseball fans around the world as teams fought to keep their WBC dreams alive. For some teams, their dreams end here, shattered on fields in Miami, Houston and Tokyo. For others, the journey has only just begun, and the competition will only get fiercer from here. […]

Mariners Moose Tracks, 3/9/26: George Kirby, Bryce Miller, and Juan Soto

Good morning! The Mariners fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-6 yesterday, with their three runs coming from big homers by Leo Rivas and Brennen Davis. Starter George Kirby had many good moments but wasn’t completely satisfied with his outing, specifically the movement on his sliders. Kate highlighted yesterday that Kirby is now calling some of […]

George Kirby has a new toy, and hitters should be scared

While the line from George Kirby’s start against Milwaukee won’t jump off the page, Kirby himself was delighted in it – and not just because of how he pitched, effortlessly mixing his pitches so much that Statcast couldn’t keep up (those splitters? Changeups, actually. And the fastball clocking in at 94? A cutter.). But it’s […]

Mariners Spring Training 2026, Game #16

I have alarming news. Somehow, while I wasn’t looking, we passed the halfway point of spring training. Counting today’s game, only 15 games remain between Opening Day and [gestures at the smoking ruin of the 27-6 blowout against San Diego] whatever this is. It’s been a weird spring, with so many regulars gone with their […]

World Baseball Classic Day 2 Recap/Day 3 Preview

From dawn til dusk, yesterday made the most of daylight’s final savings with World Baseball Classic… classics all day long. Heartbreak for Nicaragua at the hands of piscine parent Ozzie Albies and the Netherlands. Puerto Rico defending their home turf to the last breath, with at least fourth-string shortstop Darrell Hernaiz sending San Juan into […]

Mariners News, 3/8/26: James Paxton, Darell Hernáiz, and Ozzie Albies

Happy Sunday everybody! This morning I will be on the way down to Phoenix for a few days of Phoenix sunshine and Spring Training baseball! My phone battery is going to get worked to within an inch of its life trying to stream as much WBC as possible. Really looking forward to seeing the result […]

Logan Gilbert’s cutter might survive spring training

It started out as a joke: while Cal Raleigh is away, his pitchers will play. Cal’s clubhouse chair wasn’t even cold before Logan Gilbert made a start where he was throwing his cutter and sinker, two pitches his opinionated catcher does not like him to throw, as revealed in this in-depth analysis by Zach Mason. […]

Mariners Spring Training 2026, Game #15

We continue to trudge our way through Spring Training. We’ve reached the point where the novelty of these exhibitions has waned, and time has slowed to a crawl. There’s still 18 days until Opening Day, though really it’s more like 17.9 days, since we get to shave an hour tonight. I’ll take what I can […]

Mariners cavColeKade of youngsters overwhelm the Rangers for 5-1 win

Amidst the first full day of Western Hemisphere-oriented World Baseball Classic games, spring training took the back seat, if not a full day off broadcasting. Despite no TV broadcast, Seattle was able to benefit from a handful of its young and less-seasoned players taking turns in the limelight. The 5-1 win for the Mariners featured […]

The utility of a “boring, yet elite” ballplayer for the Seattle Mariners

In today’s Moose Tracks, poster chicagomariner shared an instant classic quote from Josh Naylor on his new teammate, Brendan Donovan. “He has, like, a boring game, but he’s so elite at it.” Rarely has 12 words captured the essence of what has made baseball hum for generations for many fans. While the last 30 years […]

Your comprehensive guide to the World Baseball Classic

Almost nine years ago to this day, I wrote about the history of the World Baseball Classic, fearing its end and opining for its more thorough embrace. I opened with this: The World Baseball Classic (WBC) should, ostensibly, be important. It’s a huge tournament that occurs only once every four years and features some of […]

Mariners (and WBC) Spring Training 2026, Game #14

For many players and countries, the most important baseball of the year is going in earnest right now. The World Baseball Classic, which you can get caught up on the details of right here courtesy of Isabelle, is in its first full day, with games watchable on the various FOX/FS1/FS2 outlets, as well as free […]

Mariners Prospects Spring Breakout Roster, how to watch

While we’ve been getting a heavy dose of Mariners prospects this spring with so many players out at the WBC, there’s still a showcase event for prospects: the Spring Breakout games, a prospects-vs-prospects contest between two teams. Last year the Mariners matched up with the Guardians, including top prospect Travis Bazzana. This year, they’ve drawn […]
