Felix is ours.
The Mariners announced today that RHP Carlos Vargas is going on the 15-day IL, retroactive to March 24, with a right lat strain. The lat issue must have cropped up suddenly, because Vargas was on a relatively regular schedule this spring, appearing every 3-4 days. His last appearance was in the spring training finale against […]
At the time of his drafting, the sentiment surrounding Luke Stevenson as a Mariner was polarized. On one hand, landing a first round catching talent with a pick they essentially received for free felt like a massive gift. On the other hand, Stevenson had an unprecedentedly low contact rate for someone getting drafted as early […]
Good morning friends! My apologies for the late links post this morning — I forgot to get someone to cover me, so here I am throwing something up here quickly! I hope everyone had a delightful Opening Day, even though the Mariners lost 6-4. Are we ready to anoint Dominic Canzone the American League MVP […]
For an offense that was supposed to add more contact and on-base ability this off-season, it was a disappointing showing from the Mariners on Opening Day in front of a sold-out (as announced by the Mariners) crowd. The Mariners hitters combined for 14 strikeouts, scoring all their runs on solo homers. They only had two […]
Guardians 6, Mariners 4 Opening Day festivities: Dominic Canzone, .23 WPA Opening Day fartivities: Gabe Speier, -.31 WPA Game thread comment of the day: It was not the most fun Opening Day game, but always remember:
Apologies for the late thread, I went out to say hi to staffers John and Isabelle who are in attendance at the game tonight. Luke Raley hit that game-tying nuke just as I got up so maybe now that I’m sitting down again we can have another, this time a go-ahead one.
Good job, everyone. We technically got to 615 comments on the first thread before the first pitch was thrown in inning number two. Take that, Pinstripe Alley. Now on with more Opening Day!
After the shortest off-season, the Mariners are back in action tonight, playing games that actually count. That means we here at LL are also back with our daily trio(+) of stories about the day’s game: a game preview with starting lineups and all the info you need to know pregame as well as an open […]
When Cole Young came to big-league camp last year, the expectation was that he’d get reps with the big-league roster before returning to Tacoma to continue his development. Instead, Young was pressed into service after Ryan Bliss went down with a torn bicep muscle in April and the Mariners were unwilling to test Jorge Polanco’s […]
Look, we know why you’re here: you want to know how to get your mitts on one of those souvenir ferry boats. Or maybe you want to have a cute date (gay panic voice: orisitadate?). Or maybe family is visiting and you’ve been tasked with entertaining everyone because you are the only one with a) […]
The weight of expectations is now a burden the Seattle Mariners must carry with them this year. To rise so high last season, only to be let down in the end, eight outs away from the franchise’s first World Series appearance. To stand so close to unknown territory, only to be turned away, produces the […]
Here we go again. Just one short year ago, the Mariners found themselves in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. It took them 49 seasons to figure out how to get there. Even after having had a half-century to figure it out, their path was non-linear. Last year, the traditionally dominant pitching looked […]
This is not your dad’s good Mariners projection. FanGraphs has been publishing playoff odds since 2014. That’s over 12 years of daily computer projections. In that entire history, the Mariners have had better odds of winning the AL West than they do today on just 45 days. Heading into 2026, thier projection has the Mariners […]

With expectations higher around this Mariners team than any other this decade, it makes sense that fans want to know how to watch their hometown nine this season. Frustratingly, despite the early announcement of a new streaming option, details about the cable situation for non cord-cutters have been thin on the ground. Finally, we have […]

The Seattle Mariners have announced their 2026 Opening Day roster, with a few surprises compared to the spring’s outset. The M’s have been fairly fortunate with their health through Spring Training, but will see expected starting SS J.P. Crawford and starting RHP Bryce Miller on the injured list to open the year. Both players are […]
There were only 37. He was sure of it. One, two, three, four- he was sure of it. Well, maybe 35 or 39, as he tallied the former players who’d clustered across the field. But definitely not 50. It was a weak group, too. There were the obvious names, the guys who always showed up […]
Doing the A’s and the Astros’ prospect previews was, to be honest, an exercise in schadenfreude. I had a great time doing it! But it’s time now for just freude, no schaden. Evaluators Overview Baseball America: 10th in organizational rankings, 4 prospects in Top 100 (SS Colt Emerson (#7), LHP Kade Anderson (#25), OF Lazaro […]
One of the most taxing editorial assignments every year is going to the Mariners food preview to try all the ballpark’s newest offerings. I know, I know, I am history’s greatest martyr. Here’s what I recommend based on one afternoon of eating as much as I possibly could stuff into my face, along with where […]

The Mariners will get their season started tomorrow against the Guardians. Do you have a favorite Opening Day memory? Either an […]
Following on the heels of Julio Rodríguez and Noelvi Marte, Felnin Celesten was supposed to be the Mariners’ next big international signing success story. The Mariners gave him $4.7M to sign Celesten out of the Dominican Republic in 2023, the largest signing bonus they’ve ever handed out in IFA. However, injuries have slowed Celesten’s development […]
The next step in profiling Seattle’s shot at defending their AL West throne, and a potential American League pennant bid, comes on the other side of the ball. Seattle’s pitching staff has the easiest task in the sport, in the sense that their hitters face the toughest task. T-Mobile Park, with its predictable dimensions, chilly […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners concluded this year’s Spring Training with a 3-10 loss to the San Diego Padres, but a solid outing from starter Luis Castillo was one of the game’s highlights. Castillo pitched five innings and only gave up one run on four hits with five strikeouts. We are just two sleeps away from […]
The Mariners lost the final game of spring training to their complex-mates the Padres today, 10-3, but that is not important. Here’s what’s important: Luis Castillo strong in final appearance of spring Castillo went five innings and gave up just one run on four hits with five strikeouts. He got the Padres hitters to put […]
