50 in 50: Mariners’ Self-Inflicted 2026 Disaster Most Disappointing in Team History

There have been many bad seasons in Mariners history, far more in fact than there have been good years. It took Seattle 15 seasons to have a winning record, after all, and this is the team that won 116 games in a season and didn’t make the World Series. The Mariners, of course, have never made the World Series, the only team in baseball with that dishonorable feat on its name. The 50-year history of the Mariners has been defined, more than that of any sporting club this side of the Buff...

2 players most to blame for Mariners’ miserable season

The Seattle Mariners entered 2026 with championship expectations after an ALCS appearance, only to be eliminated from postseason contention before the final weekend.

Wilson Departs as Manager, Rizzs Calls Final Game as M’s Finish Year 76-86

The 2026 Mariners season has come to a close. It opened with incredible and much-discussed promise, it sank visibly into the unforgiving ocean as the season went on, and it came to an unceremonious end over the duration of September, each nail slammed in the casket to the crawling cadence of an old sea dirge. The story of our latter-day Edmund Fitzgerald ended with the long-telegraphed departure of manager Dan Wilson, who informed his players before the final game that it would be his l...
