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 […]

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 […]

Mariners News: J.P. Crawford, Luke Raley, and Dean Kremer
Hello everyone, and welcome to August. The M’s suffered another gut-wrenching loss, this time to the Twins by a 5-3 final with the bullpen failing to hold a slim lead. Anyway, here’s another random prompt for you: What is the MLB team you think about the least? For me it’s probably the Reds. In Mariners […]
Mariners write some sad, bad poetry, lose to Twins 5-3
Hello and welcome to Lookout Landing. If you’re new here and/or don’t hang out in the game threads, well, I can’t blame you, because this team is zero fun right now. Tonight the Mariners showed that home cooking isn’t any better and carried their miserable 2-6 road trip back to a long homestand, starting it […]

Mariners Game #111 Preview and Game Discussion: 7/31/26, Twins at Mariners
We’re back and not better than ever. The Mariners open one of their longest homestands of the season tonight, starting with the Twins for three games before the Tigers and Rays come to town, with the Rays series falling during the “50 Seasons” celebration. Also, it’s Fireworks Night, and you’ll just need to trust me […]
2026 MLB Trade Deadline: Open Thread
For many people, the trade deadline is one of the most exciting times in the baseball season, right up there with Opening Day and the playoffs. I am not one of these people, but I acknowledge and respect those who are. Feel free to use this as a space to chat about all the trade […]
J.P. Crawford placed on 10-day IL with wrist injury, Leo Rivas recalled, Brendan Donovan coming Tuesday
The Seattle Mariners have placed 3B/SS J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list with the hand injury that has held him out the past few games. Crawford appeared to injure his hand on a swing last week, and continued to see it exacerbated despite several days off and some cautious returns to play. In his […]
