Mariners Game #114 Preview and Discussion, 8/4/26: SEA vs DET
And we’re back. The Mariners return after an off day Monday with a brand new roster. Taylor Ward is here and hitting eighth. Seranthony Domínguez is here and sitting in the bullpen. Brendan Donovan is here and penciled in at the hot corner. Emerson Hancock is still here and standing on the mound. Mitch Garver […]
Mariners move on from struggling veterans Rob Refsnyder, Mitch Garver
Per Ryan Divish, the Mariners are expected to move on from two veterans post-trade deadline: off-season acquisition Rob Refsnyder, and backup catcher Mitch Garver. C Jhonny Pereda is reportedly being called up to fill Garver’s spot. It’s been a difficult tenure for both Refsnyder and Garver for the Mariners. Refsnyder was signed this off-season in […]
Seattle Mariners: What Questions Did the Trade Deadline Answer?
While the rest of the league enjoyed one of the more exciting trade deadlines in recent memory, Seattle remained curiously quiet, with many of us still glued to their phones for an hour or so after the deadline, hoping for one last trade to hit our dopamine-addled brains. But at the end of the day, […]
Rating your takes: Which struggling Seattle Mariner is going to bounce back this season? Which ones are cooked?
Last week I posed this question to the FEED amidst another fairly disappointing and frustrating week of Mariners games and now it is time to rate your responses. As usual, I’ll be using my patented and very scientific Mariners Hot Take Ranking System: Here we go! Poster Aubrey says: “Lukewarm take: Julio, and it will […]
Series Preview: Mariners (55-58) vs. Tigers (54-58)
Bobbing back from the trade deadline, mostly unscathed (positively and negatively), the Mariners take on the Tigers for a three-game, midweek set at home. Think of it as a buffer, a practice round, a get-right, momentum-builder before the Rays arrive. The practice of declawing a cat has been deemed so cruel that in many countries […]
Seattle Mariners Minor League Roundup – Week Nineteen
Tacoma Rainiers It was another brutal week for Tacoma, dropping five of six to a strong River Cats squad at home. Despite the early success from Lazaro Montes and Michael Arroyo, it’s been tough sledding for this Tacoma Roster all year, really falling short on the mound on a nightly basis. The stretch run is […]
Mariners trade for balance over substance at deadline
The Mariners didn’t get better at the trade deadline, but they did get different, and that makes them better. The Mariners made two deals this week. They traded Luis Castillo to the White Sox for Seranthony Domínguez, Nolan Jones, cash, and a prospect that I liked but who doesn’t factor into 2026. They also traded […]
Mariners News: Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman, and Luke Raley
Wait what the hell? The day I signed up to cover links turns out to be the day after the trade deadline? They should really announce the date of the trade deadline in advance to avoid this kind of problem. It was a busy day around the league, though a number of rumored names stayed […]
Grading the Seattle Mariners Trade Deadline
With the 2026 MLB trade deadline having come and gone, the Mariners find themselves in the midst of a heated playoff race in need of a major roster shakeup. Always active on the trade front, Jerry Dipoto, Justin Hollander, and the rest of the Seattle front office spun a pair of deals to improve their […]
Mariners acquire OF Taylor Ward for Alex Hoppe and two minor league arms
The Seattle Mariners have reportedly acquired veteran OF Taylor Ward from the Baltimore Orioles, per multiple reports. In exchange, Seattle is sending reliever RHP Alex Hoppe, as well as prospects RHPs Brock Moore and Harrison Kreiling. The 32 year old Ward is under contract just through the remainder of the 2026 season. Seattle has desperately […]

Rock’s ripple: Luis Castillo’s enduring impact on the Mariners
Luis Castillo is no longer a Mariner, but his impact on the rotation – and the club itself – will be felt for years. Castillo came to the Mariners in 2022 as part of a splashy trade deadline deal with the Reds, joining a staff with established veterans Robbie Ray and Marco Gonzales, as well […]
Mariners News: Kevin Gausman, Freddy Peralta, and Luis García Jr.
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Monday! The Mariners are off before the Tigers come to town for a three-game set, so they have an extra day to bask in Colt Emerson’s walkoff knock to seal a series win. More importantly, though, is that today marks the official trade deadline day for Major League Baseball! It […]
La Piedra Para Siempre
When Castillo was brought in at the 2022 trade deadline, my whole perspective on this franchise shifted. Riding a 14-game winning streak, the Mariners found themselves in a playoff spot at the deadline. It was time. A top-10 prospect and a top-50 prospect plus two depth pieces was a high price, but I was sure […]
Mariners’ next wave saves the day in 7-6 walk0ff over Minnesota
Just as the trade for Luis Castillo at the 2022 trade deadline marked the beginning of an era, it feels that yesterday’s trade of him to Chicago marks the transition into a new one. While the roster has shed players that have played an important role in this era of Mariners baseball — Paul Sewald, […]

Mariners Game #113 Preview and Discussion: 8/2/26, Twins at Mariners
I try not to dwell on negative emotions, especially anger and especially about things like baseball that are ostensibly sources of joy for me. But I confess that this morning, I find myself raging about Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers, overwhelming any emotions I have about the Mariners trading Luis Castillo to the White Sox. […]
Examining the Mariners’ Return for Luis Castillo
The Seattle Mariners made their first move of trade deadline season, dealing Luis Castillo to the Chicago White Sox. Kate broke down the details last night after the news broke. The initial sentiment has been positive, but also a little emotional. Luis Castillo quickly became a beloved figure in Seattle since they acquired him via […]
Mariners News: Luis Castillo, Tarik Skubal, and Camilo Doval
The stove is hot (derogatory). Randy Arozarena and the Mariners scraped across a walk-off win against the Twins yesterday to even the series at a game apiece. The Mariners followed up this rather underwhelming victory by trading Luis Castillo to the White Sox. The move doesn’t necessarily signal a buy or sell leaning for the […]
Mariners to trade Luis Castillo to White Sox for three players
Luis Castillo’s tenure as a Seattle Mariner has apparently come to an end. The Mariners announced tonight they have traded Castillo to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Per Daniel Kramer, the Mariners aren’t sending any money to offset the remainder of what Castillo […]
Ugly wins are still wins: Mariners walk off Twins, 4-3
The Mariners were feckless (1-for-12 with RISP, 11 left on base), but the Twins were more feckless (0-for-7 with RISP, 4 left on base), and so the Mariners scratched out a walkoff win over the Twins thanks mostly to Randy Arozarena and Andrés Muñoz’s first multi-inning effort of the year. This game also featured, although […]

Mariners Game #112 Preview and Discussion: 8/1/26, Twins at Mariners
The Mariners games will continue until morale improves. As a reminder, if you want to chat about trade deadline stuff – rumors, suggested trades, analysis of other teams’ moves – you can do that in the trade deadline thread linked here or pinned on the homepage. Lineups: News: Luke Raley has been moved to the […]
Mariners injury update: Luke Raley to IL with elbow injury, OF Stuart Fairchild selected
The Mariners announced today that they have moved OF Luke Raley to the 10-day IL with a left forearm strain. Raley was out of the game yesterday after feeling pain in the elbow pregame, and today the team opted to move him to the IL to try to calm the inflammation and hopefully get him […]
The Mariners should give Michael Arroyo their hopes
At the All-Star Break’s conclusion, I wrote on expectations, and their virtue as an exercise with this franchise towards a more hopeful future near and far. These Seattle Mariners, 3.0 games back of the AL West and the third Wild Card spot alike, have earned little and less belief. They’ve played poorly, wasted chances, and […]
