Meet the 2026 Mariners NRIs

It’s time for one of our favorite annual traditions: going through the list of Mariners non-roster invites and spending entirely too much electronic ink on a lot of guys who will never suit up for the Mariners this season.

Expectations still heavy for Mariners, even with successful 2025 behind them

It was very sad, he thought. The things men carried inside. The things men did or felt they had to do.-Tim O’Brien, “The Things They Carried” There is a powerful Tim O’Brien short story, part of a larger eponymous collection, called “The Things They Carried,” which catalogues the physical weight of the individual items a […]

It’s that time of year again! After a busy offseason of transactions that’s seen several top prospects shipped out for controllable talent, the Mariners farm system looks substantially different than it did at the end of last year.

How does the retooled Mariners lineup compare to the rest of the AL West?

After the Naylor signing at the very outset of free agency, the Mariners went uncomfortably quiet until the buzzer-beater Brendan Donovan deal yesterday. While we’ll get into more specific breakdowns of the AL West rosters over spring training, we were curious: with this latest move, how do you feel about the Mariners lineup (or team […]

40 in 40: Why Cooper Criswell is my ’26 Pile Pick

With the Mariners’ announcement that Logan Evans will miss the entire 2026 season with UCL surgery, the Marinersphere is debating who will be the new sixth starter.

Question of the day: the Colt Emerson vs. Julio Rodríguez hype train

Yesterday in the Moose Tracks, commenter Search4honor posed this question: For those who were here before the 2022 season. Is the way Colt Emerson is being talked about prior to spring training the same as Julio Rodríguez?

40 in 40: Alex Hoppe, The Contraption Hungers, And You Are Its Sustenance

In mechanical engineering, it’s common knowledge that Contraptions (sometimes referred to informally as “Machines”) are fed by Fodder. The term of venery for an individual piece of Fodder is Pile. Some examples in a sentence: “When new Fodder joins the Pile, it’s better for everyone; The Contraption was beginning to hunger.” or, “Alex Hoppe, The […]

40 in 40: Ryan Loutos is just like us

Outside T-Mobile Park, at the corner of Edgar and Dave, a small crowd gathers. They wear well-loved King’s Court t-shirts, increasingly esoteric shirseys and BreakingT collabs whose pit stains betray their age. One of them has on a few different variations of leopard print, some are festooned in arboreal paraphernalia, another a MacDougall Bats polo. […]

Rick Rizzs: A legacy of service

The longest-tenured voice of Seattle Mariners baseball almost wasn’t. In 1983, Rick Rizzs was serving as the play-by-play announcer for the Columbus Clippers, at the time the Yankees’ Triple-A team. He’d been in the minor leagues for nine years, still waiting on a chance at a big-league job. It seemed like his opportunity had arrived; […]

Happy Retirement to Rick Rizzs, the Sound of my Childhood

There are a few things, perhaps two things, so potent in their nostalgia that I feel discomforted by them. I can’t quite pin down the emotion. Or emotions. And I don’t know that I can explain it, either. Perhaps what is so uncomfortable to me about them is the contradictory nature of the sensation. Bittersweet, […]

40 in 40: Yosver Zulueta looks for the light

Spring training: when the sunlight is bright and falls upon certain players more than others. A new pitch, a new swing, or a fresh face can all capture the attention of fans and writers alike eager to emerge from the cold tyranny of a baseball-less winter. At Blue Jays spring training in 2022, Yosver Zulueta […]
