Ryan Sloan shines in Mariners Spring Breakout Game; Yorger Bautista shows off big power
The Mariners prospects lost their Spring Breakout game today to the top-ranked farm, the Brewers prospects, 7-3. Offensively, the Mariners prospects did rack up some hits, but squandered run-scoring opportunities and failed to come through with clutch RBIs, outside of Lazaro Montes, who went 3-for-3 and drove in two of the Mariners’ three runs. Montes […]
Mariners 2026 Spring Breakout Preview
The annual Spring Breakout game has arrived! A relatively new feature to the MLB spring training schedule, the spring breakout is a prospect-only bout pitting one organization’s best against another, providing fans an easy way to get familiarized with the team’s top farmhands. The Mariners have one of the more potent rosters in the league […]
Mariners News, 3/20/26: Logan Gilbert, Emerson Hancock, and Trey Yesavage
Good morning and happy Friday, everyone! The Mariners triumphed in yesterday’s spring training ballgame against the A’s by a 6-4 final. We inch ever closer to Opening Day, with the Mariners kicking things off on Thursday against the Guardians. What are your plans for the opener? Will you be at the game, or will you […]
Six degrees of Diego Seguí to celebrate a 6-4 Mariners win
What a silly, precisely Spring Training baseball game. In celebration of the Mariners’ six-run seventh inning, we’re going to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon but with a Mariners twist (duh). I bandied about six degrees of Jerry Dipoto (yawn), six degrees of Jack Zduriencik (grim and boring) and six degrees of Alex Mayer (compelling, […]
Mariners Spring Training Game #26: Open Game Thread
A week from today the Mariners will be playing a game that counts, and the Cactus League will fade away into obscurity for another year. For now, though, we have a matchup against the A’s. Rhylan Thomas was initially scheduled in center field, but a late scratch has forced Luke Raley to cover and Rob […]
AL West Preview – Astros Prognosis, Orbiting the Drain
The Astros aren’t dead yet. It felt like the AL West would run through Houston forever. The Astros won seven consecutive division titles in non-COVID seasons, collecting three pennants and two World Series’ trophies between 2017 and 2024. Few teams had ever been more successful, and few teams had ever been more relevant. They were […]
Mariners Prospect Rankings #9 SS Nick Becker
The lone high school talent taken by the Mariners last July, Nick Becker makes his LL organizational prospect debut at #9, beating out Tuesday’s entry Griffin Hugus by a healthy margin and setting the foundation of what we’d consider the upper echelon of present prospect pedigree. Hailing from the state of New Jersey, the cold […]
Mariners News, 3/19/26: Colt Emerson, Luke Raley, and Bryce Miller
Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off a 7-3 victory over the Brew Crew thanks to strong performances from Emerson Hancock and Luke Raley, among others. Today is a big day in the sports world, as March Madness on the men’s side kicks off in full (and the women — including UW, Oregon, Gonzaga, […]
Mariners win 7-3 behind big day from Luke Raley
Emerson Hancock had 70ish pitches to work with today and made them last for 3.2 innings – not as efficient as one would hope. He had to dance around some trouble right away, loading the bases in the first on three singles, but was able to work out of the trouble by striking out Reese […]
Mariners Spring Training Game #25 Game Thread
It’s a preview of the Spring Breakout game as the Mariners take on the Brewers in Peoria. Emerson Hancock gets the start as he continues to eye an Opening Day slot in place of the injured Bryce Miller. Lineups: Julio back! Julio back! Injury news: J.P. Crawford saw Dr. Kenneth Meister yesterday for his injured […]
Venezuela wants it more, defeats USA 3-2 in World Baseball Classic stunner
The game meant more to Venezuela. One of sportswriting and broadcasting’s most wizened, decrepit shorthand takes. Every game is meaningful at the highest levels, the sport too onerous and skill-specialized to draw success for many who cannot muster daily effort. If a victorious will alone were the separator, David would not have merited memory in […]
AL West Preview – Astros prospects, the fun part
This might be the easiest, low-stress, high-joy article I write this season. It’s just so much fun to research the Houston farm system. It’s kind of hard to even come up with sections or headers for this one, so let’s just jump into it. Baseball America: 27th in organizational rankings, 0 Top-100 prospects (hell yeah) […]
Mariners News, 3/18/26: Eugenio Suárez, Mike Vasil, and Seiya Suzuki
Good day friends and happy Wednesday! The Mariners are coming off a split-squad split yesterday, besting the Rockies by a 10-6 final while dropping a game to the Padres 9-6. The ongoing concern in Mariners camp regards the status of J.P. Crawford, whose shoulder imaging came back clean yesterday. However, the M’s are uncertain if […]
Mariners split pair of split-squad games: win at Rockies, lose vs. Padres
The Mariners played their first split-squad game of the spring this season now that they finally have enough players back from the WBC and split the games, losing at home against the Padres and winning on the road against the Rockies. Home game: San Diego 9, Mariners 6 It wasn’t as bad as the 27-6 […]
Mariners Spring Training Game #24 Game Thread
It’s split squad action today in Peoria and at Salt River Fields. Both games are televised, so choose wisely. Don’t get too attached to this Josh Naylor graphic; he was a late scratch. Luis Suisbel is now in the lineup, batting ninth and playing first base. Also scheduled to pitch in this game: José A. […]
World Baseball Classic 2026 Semifinals recap and Final preview
The bars might be full of St. Patrick’s Day revelers dressed in green today but there should at least be a corner of baseball fans ready to see the US take on Venezuela in the finals of the WBC tonight. Venezuela earned a trip to the finals in a hard-fought battle against Team Italy yesterday […]
AL West Preview – Astros Pitchers, Hunter Brown and the Boys
Since their first World Series run in 2017, the Astros have produced, traded for, and developed a huge amount of pitching talent. From Cy Young winners like Dallas Keuchel and Gerrit Cole, to future Hall of Famers like Zack Greinke and Justin Verlander, the Astros have had no shortage of pitching excellence in their domination […]
Mariners Prospect Rankings #10, RHP Griffin Hugus
A lot has changed for Griffin Hugus since joining the Seattle Mariners organization. Drafted in the third round for slightly under slot value, the University of Miami product checked every box of a “Seattle Mariner starting pitcher”. With an athletic 6’2 frame and a full arsenal of offerings at his disposal, Hugus paired intriguing underlying […]
Mariners News: Ronald Acuña Jr., Johan Rojas, and Joe Musgrove
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners are back in action today against the Colorado Rockies at 1:10 PM, with the starting pitcher yet to be announced. In some non-baseball news, it’s time for March Madness! One of my personal favorite times of the year. If you think you have what it takes to beat both staff writers […]

AL West Preview – Astros Position Players, on the rebound
The Astros seem like they’re reaching the end of their decade-long contention window. They missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, ending a run of dominance that included seven division titles, four AL pennants, and two World Series championships. Instead of restocking their roster with a bunch of high profile moves, […]
World Baseball Classic 2026 Semifinals (DR/USA) recap and Venezuela/Italy preview and thread
Team USA will be playing for the WBC championship this Tuesday after a nailbiter of a game where they held off the Dominican Republic for a 2-1 victory in a game that was entirely decided by solo home runs: two for Team USA (Gunnar Henderson, Roman Anthony) vs. just one for Team DR (Junior Caminero). […]
Mariners News: Julio Rodriguez, Brendan Donovan, and Bryce Miller
Good morning! The Mariners defeated the Cincinnati Reds yesterday 6-3 with another solid George Kirby outing. His final line after 4 2/3 innings pitched included two runs, seven hits, one walk, and four strikeouts. There is no game today as the players will get a break from live game action. With Team USA’s win in […]
Mariners Spring Training Game #23
If you’re interested in a little amuse bouche before tonight’s semi-final WBC game between the DR and US, the Mariners are playing an exhibition game against the Cincinnati reds this afternoon. George Kirby gets his third Cactus League start, where he’ll hope to round into cleaner form. Keep an eye on him between pitches to […]
World Baseball Classic 2026 Quarterfinals Pt. 2 Recap & DR/USA Preview
The field was halved Friday in the WBC, and once again Saturday, with a pair of impressive games and historic milestones for national baseball in Italy and Venezuela. Yesterday’s matchups and how the Mariners performed: Italy 8, Puerto Rico 6 The caffeinated fairy tale continues. Facing the ace of Team Puerto Rico in Royals starter […]
