Sunday Photo Caption Contest (10/4/26)
Welcome to the offseason. One benefit of writing here at SB Nation is we get access to two separate media libraries (Getty Images and USA Today) to help illustrate our stories and the home page. These are updated with dozens of photos each night, which means once a week or so a picture comes through […]
Mariners News: Munetaka Murakami, Drew Rasmussen, and Tarik Skubal
The first day of the Division Series is done and recency bias is working on me big time because I am struggling to see how any of the four 0-1 teams can overcome the deficit in these five-game series. I’ve always said the MLB playoffs are the best playoffs because it isn’t necessarily who has […]
The first month of the new SB Nation app: breaking records and a thank you
A month ago we rolled out something we’ve been building towards for years: the new SB Nation app (which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your app store of choice) and I want to express a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has downloaded it, even to try it out, and […]

Mariners claim 1B/OF Michael Toglia off waivers in first offseason addition
The Seattle Mariners have made use of the waiver wire to start October, claiming 1B/OF Michael Toglia from the Cincinnati Reds. The 28 year old switch-hitter missed much of the 2026 season with a dislocated right shoulder suffered while making a diving catch. The preparation for the surgery revealed a torn labrum as well, which […]

The fatal flaw of the 2026 Mariners
There’s a well-worn business cliche that “hope is not a strategy.” Unfortunately for the 2026 Mariners, there was too much hoping, and not enough strategizing. In speaking with players and front office members over the last few weeks as the 2026 Mariners season limped to its agonizing, inevitable conclusion, one common theme jumped out: the […]

Why the Mariners kept their pitching coach staff intact despite rough second half performance
Yesterday brought sweeping changes to the Mariners coaching staff on the heels of a disappointing 2026 season. Jerry Dipoto, in meeting with the media, described the need for a “culture reset” in the organization, noting specifically the sense that the big-league club had gotten away from organizational principles preached in the minor leagues. “The performance […]
The Beautiful and Dan’d
The going got tough for the Mariners in 2026, but the tough never got going. The Mariners moved on from manager Dan Wilson on Sunday, providing a merciful conclusion to the 2026 season. It was an obvious decision, not just because changing managers is standard for a team that falls short of expectations, but because […]
Mariners News: Aaron Judge, Luis Arraez, and Pete Crow-Armstrong
Good morning! Playoff baseball begins today with the Philadelphia Phillies vs. the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres in NL Wild Card Game 1.

Sweeping staff changes part of a “culture reset” for the Mariners
After parting ways with manager Dan Wilson yesterday, the Mariners announced sweeping changes to their coaching staff today. While pitching coaches Pete Woodworth and Trent Blank will return, the Mariners have now moved on from their hitting coaches with the exception of franchise legend Edgar Martínez, who Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto said would return “in […]
Mariners announce sweeping coaching staff changes following departure of Dan Wilson
The Seattle Mariners will look very different in the dugout in 2027. Monday morning, following the long-expected conclusion of Dan Wilson’s tenure as manager, Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander announced that the club will not retain longtime Bench Coach Manny Acta, Infield Coach Perry Hill, Hitting Coach Kevin Seitzer, or First Base Coach Eric Young […]
Thank you, Rick
At some point in my baseball fandom (likely from the start, I just couldn’t discern it yet) love for the game and love for the people tangled together into one big mass of feeling. And near the center of that tangle, inexorably interwoven, is Rick Rizzs and the Seattle Mariners. For 41 years, we have […]

Mariners players react to firing of Dan Wilson
When news that Mariners manager Dan Wilson would not return in 2027 broke on social media, a significant portion of the fanbase was ecstatic, seeing Wilson as one of the primary culprits in the team’s dreadful season where they fell significantly short of expectations. (The portion that wasn’t celebrating was mostly complaining that the move […]
Goodbye, baseball! M’s send off Rick Rizzs with 7-3 win over Anaheim
As the Mariners have approached the merciful conclusion of the 2026 season, I’ve been thinking about a scene from War & Peace. Early on, Prince Andrei is seeking fulfillment through glory on the battlefield. Amid the staggering violence in the Battle of Austerlitz, he sees a bannerman fall. As General Kutuzov’s troops break and flee, […]

Dan Wilson will not return as Mariners manager in 2027
Sunday was a day of farewells for the Mariners on and off the field. Making official what many have suspected, sources inside the Mariners organization say that the Mariners and manager Dan Wilson have parted ways. According to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com and Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Wilson informed players he would not […]
ALN: J.P. Crawford, a Star
It’s a common misconception that we can’t see the stars during the day because the Sun is too bright, the relative luminosity of our proper-noun Sun overpowering the distant, cold light of the rest of the galaxy’s stars. It seems intuitive – the human eye is limited in the range of the light spectrum it […]
Mariners Game #162 Preview and Discussion: 09/27, ANA at SEA
Today, we’ll test one of the great questions in our beautiful game. Jimmy got this wrong, of course (as he did so many things). There is so much crying in baseball. I don’t know that I’ll cry for Randy—it still feels like a dream that he ever even became a Mariner. But for sure, I […]
Mariners News: Josh Naylor, Justin Verlander, and Jesús Luzardo
The Mariners won last night. I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched them in a while. They let me down this year. It’s not the first time they’ve done that, but it’s definitely the worst. I’ve seen that writing on the wall before, and I didn’t watch these last few games because I couldn’t bring […]
