Bryce Miller, Mariners agree to contract with 2027 option to avoid arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and RHP Bryce Miller have agreed on a contract, allowing both parties to avoid arbitration. The deal guarantees Miller $2.4375 million for the 2026 season, along with a team option reportedly worth $6.075 million for the 2027 campaign in lieu of his traditional second year of arbitration eligibility. The cost-certainty for Seattle […]

Chicago Cubs Sign Righty Trent Thornton

Were it not for an Achilles tear at the end of July, 32-year-old righty reliever Trent Thornton might not have been available in free agency at all, much less available on a minor league deal. He’d had a slow start to the season in the Mariners’ bullpen to be sure, but he’d been dominating since mid-June, and he had been a really good reliever in 2023 and 2024 (3.13 ERA (18% better than league average), 3.70 FIP (7% better), 24.6% K, 6.0% BB, 6.6% barrel, 34.6% hard hit). As of the moment...

Dodgers unlikely to trade Teoscar Hernández

The Dodgers have been fairly quiet this offseason compared to the last two, but when they have struck, the bounty has been plentiful. After bringing back Miguel Rojas for the final season of his big league career, the Dodgers shored up their bullpen by bringing in Edwin Díaz to a three-year deal worth $69 million. […]

Friday Feedbag: Script the 2026 Mariners Salmon Run season

Hello and welcome back to the Friday Feedbag where I will never feed you slop. How about some chum (salmon), though? Just kidding. But we are going to talk about the hate it or love it phenomenon of the Seattle Mariners Salmon Run mascot race today. Starting in the 2024 season, the Salmon Run instantly […]

40 in 40: Andrés Muñoz is doing all that’s asked of him

If given the option to choose any player to throw the final pitch of the season for the Seattle Mariners over the past few years, Andrés Muñoz is the savvy selection. For Muñoz to be pitching, Seattle’s final game must be both close and meaningful. The 2023 and 2024 seasons ended on close victories, but […]

Mariners acquire RHP Yosver Zulueta from Reds

We’re getting ever closer to spring training and you know what that means: time to build the pitching pile. The Mariners did that today, acquiring RHP Yosver Zulueta from Cincinnati. Obligatory Remember Some Guys tie-in: the Blue Jays originally signed Zulueta out of Cuba in 2019 using pool space they got from the Kendrys Morales […]

Seattle Mariners 2026 International Signings Tracker

It’s time for Prospect Christmas, aka the official opening of MLB’s international signing period for the year. While most of the deals are worked out ahead of time and only made official on this day, there are occasionally surprises once the period actually opens, and players will continue to sign over the coming weeks and […]

Mariners Reacts Survey: 42 days till Spring

As the holidays wind down and we return to the humdrum of normal life, it’s nice to be able to look forward to the start of spring training, only a short time away. While it is still the offseason and there are still plenty of talented players available, the market tends to cool down around […]

40 in 40: Meet the new Matt Brash (but don’t get too used to him)

We thought we knew Matt Brash—a slider-slinging, fastball-fueled thrill ride of dominance and destruction with the occasional meltdown thrown in to keep you on your toes. But after Tommy John surgery kept him out for the entire 2024 season, Brash flipped the script in 2025, using two new pitches to get steadier results. He’s no […]

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: 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 […]

Bryce Miller and Mariners to test arbitration, as Seattle reaches deals w/six other players

The Seattle Mariners announced Thursday that they’ve reached agreements to avoid salary arbitration with six of their seven arb-eligible players. Randy Arozarena, Matt Brash, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Luke Raley, and Gabe Speier all found an accord with the Mariners ahead of today’s deadline for offering salary figures. The loan player with which Seattle did […]
