Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have an elite pitching staff that kept them in contention this season. In order to avoid missing the postseason for the third consecutive year, Seattle is going to have to address their offensive woes, particularly at the first base position. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report listed them as a potential fit for slugger Pete Alonso. "If money is no object and we're solely talking about who most needs to add a slugger at first base the caliber of Pete Alonso, Seattle perhaps indisputably tops that list," Miller wrote.

The Seattle Mariners are very good at pitching and not very good at hitting.

The Kansas City Royals season ended in disappointing fashion when they were defeated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the New York Yankees, 3-1. The team won 86 games during the regular season and secured the second American League Wild Card. Kansas City will likely need to add a few bats to their mix next season. Veteran slugger Justin Turner is a free agent and might be somebody who can help them out in 2025.

Such was the case on Thursday morning as I was scrolling through "X" and came across a Seattle Mariners-themed Halloween decoration. It was posted by @GrffinNW and includes an M's-themed graveyard including some of the Mariners that have come and gone since the 2022 playoff run: Kolten Wong, manager Scott Servais, outfielder Jarred Kelenic and a tombstone labeled "Mariners playoff run." Ray was signed by the Mariners before the 2022 season, helping lead Seattle to those playoffs.

The Gold Glove process is the latest example. The concept of the award is great, but the process itself is fundamentally flawed and in need of a complete overhaul. When two of the most prominent voices in baseball question the process, as FOX announcer Joe Davis did on a broadcast watched by millions and ESPN insider Jeff Passan tweeted out to his more than one million followers, you might have a problem. Frankly, that is an embarrassment to MLB.

The Seattle Mariners are watching the playoffs from home for the 22nd time in 23 years. Entering Wednesday, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers were locked in a 1-1 tie in a best-of-seven National League Championship Series featuring several former Mariners. Jesse Winker, Teoscar Hernandez, Edwin Diaz and Ryne Stanek are some of the former Seattle players that are trying to lead their teams to the World Series.

After one of his better career seasons in the big leagues with the Oakland A's, former Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners utility-man Abraham Toro has elected free agency. Toro came to the A's in a trade with the Brewers last offseason, with Oakland sending righty-hander Chad Patrick to Milwaukee in the deal.

On Tuesday morning, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh was named as a finalist for the American League Gold Glove Award at catcher. It turns out that he wasn't the only one up for the defensive hardware as utility player Dylan Moore is also up for the award in the recently-created "Utility" category.

The following comes from a press release from the Mariners: Moore , a first-time finalist, excelled across 6 defensive positions

No Seattle Mariners prospect has turned more heads this year than Colt Emerson, and even though the minor league season is over, he's still not done. Over a month after Emerson took his last trip to the plate in 2024 for the Single-A Everett AquaSox, he returned to action over the last week as a member of the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League, an annual prospect showcase. In his first game in Arizona on Oct. 8, Emerson went 5-for-6 with four doubles, five RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen base out of the leadoff spot for the Javelinas.

The Boston Red Sox clearly want to add to the starting rotation this winter. This much has been said by the organization and everyone who writes any amount of content involving the team. Boston took a step forward in 2024 but there still is one hole in the rotation that could be filled this winter. It's unclear how the team will do so.

Sam Kennedy, Craig Breslow and Alex Cora attested to the front office's desire to field a team that could contend for the American League East. NESN's 2025 Red Sox roster projection from Oct. 4 takes the front office at its word.

It's been widely reported throughout the early portions of the offseason that the Seattle Mariners are unlikely to bring back second baseman Jorge Polanco. Polanco, acquired from the Minnesota Twins last offseason, has a $12 million option that the team could exercise but is likely to decline. It is understandable why the Mariners would decline the option. Polanco hit .213 this season and dealt with a serious knee injury that just required surgery.

The Seattle Mariners offseason awaits while the MLB playoffs roll on, allowing us an opportunity to dig into some hypothetical situations. On Tuesday's edition of Seattle Sports' Wyman and Bob, the show's weekly conversation with MLB Network insider Jon Morosi covered a pair of those. Considering the Mariners made a change at skipper towards the end of the season, moving on from Scott Servais and bringing in Dan Wilson, it's natural that the Cincinnati Reds' hiring this week of two-time World Series-winning manager Terry Francona had a ripple effect with some in Seattle.

The Seattle Mariners have promoted Kevin Martinez to be their new president of business operations, filling the role vacated by Catie Griggs when she left the team this summer.

Columnist Jim Moore, aka @cougsgo, knows what ails the Seattle Mariners, but he’s not sure team leaders will like his prescription.

The Athletics lost their final game of the Oakland era, falling 6-4 to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday at T-Mobile Park.

Leo Rivas scored on Justin Turner’s fielder’s-choice grounder to lift the Seattle Mariners over the Oakland Athletics 7-6 in 10 innings on Saturday night. Pinch-runner Rivas avoided Shea Langeliers' tag attempt at the plate with a wide slide, giving Seattle its third straight win and 11th victory in its final at-bat of the season. “That’s not exactly what I was trying to do up there,” pinch-hitter Turner said of his grounder to second.

In their first home game since Macklemore got into hot water for shouting "F— America" at a Seattle event, the Mariners skipped their usual play of his song for the 7th inning.

The Mariners have one of the best rotations in baseball, but their offense left a lot to be desired this year.

October baseball is less than a week away. Here is the full schedule for the upcoming MLB playoffs.

Trailing the Mariners by 10 games in mid-June, the Astros were undoubtedly down. Joe Espada worked every day to remind his team it was far from out.

Tuesday was a good day for the Royals beyond their victory on the field.

The Chicago White Sox narrowly avoided setting the modern MLB record for the most losses in a season Tuesday with a home win against the Los Angeles Angels.

the Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners all kept pace in the AL-wild-card race by winning.
