The Mariners have set an almost impossible bar for their PxP announcers over the years, especially ones hired from outside the market

Whoever replaces Rick Rizzs is going to have some sky-high expectations⬇️
January 28, 2026 at 6:48 PM
The top six players in Mariners history are pretty interchangeable, as we laid out on Monday’s podcast

You can make a solid case for any one of these guys being No. 1⬇️
January 27, 2026 at 6:06 PM
Is this now the best Seattle sports year ever? Or does it still depend on one more win?
January 27, 2026 at 5:31 AM
We released our top-50 Mariners of all-time today, and it came with one HUGE question:

Where does J.P. Crawford rank among the all-time Mariners?
January 26, 2026 at 6:08 PM
Shocker: some people aren’t a fan of Felix Hernandez potentially getting into the Baseball HOF

Here’s a couple reminders about the history of the museum and the pitchers that came before him,

Before you rush to conclusions

With us getting set to rank our Top 50 greatest Mariners of all time on Monday’s podcast, it begs the question: should Eugenio Suarez be on the list?

We are coming out with our top-50 Mariners of all-time on Monday’s episode

Before we unveil our full list, we have a question to ask: who is the most obscure Mariner on YOUR top-50?

As you can tell, regular trivia isn’t really our thing…..

But Mariners trivia? That’s more our speed

Catch us at Queen Anne Beerhall on Feb. 11th for Mariners Trivia Night, and put yourself to the test!

Wait…… there’s a scenario where a salary cap actually HURTS the Mariners?

We explain⬇️
January 22, 2026 at 6:01 PM
The modern baseball world should be rooting for Felix Hernandez to get into the HOF

If he gets inducted, it will set a new precedent for modern starting pitchers to get in⬇️
January 21, 2026 at 7:16 PM
The Mariners have two big pieces of their current core entering their last year before free agency: J.P. Crawford & Randy Arozarena

Can the Mariners rely on great walk years from either of them to project a higher win total?
January 20, 2026 at 6:14 PM
you still need to be sold on a salary cap? We have a pitch that Mariners fans should be in universal approval of….

How would you like to never talk about ownership spending on players again?
January 19, 2026 at 6:13 PM
After watching that dominating performance by the Seahawks last night, are some people going to change their mind about this being the greatest Seattle sports year ever?

You would hope so ⬇️

We got this mailbag question:

Which Mariners pitcher has the most room to still reach their highest ceiling?

We break it down
January 17, 2026 at 10:37 PM
The question is simple

As a community: who’s our next Kyle Tucker?

Can such a thing even be replicated?
January 17, 2026 at 2:09 AM
We all want the Mariners to spend more money, and they should be spending more money than they currently do.

But, even if the Mariners had a payroll of $250 million, they wouldn’t even be remotely in on the discussion for KTuck or Bichette, which is ridiculous
January 16, 2026 at 6:43 PM
Wait, did TJ really just say that?

“As a Mariner fan, you should be thanking Rob Manfred he said that”

Things got heated talking about potential MLB realignment⬇️
January 15, 2026 at 6:02 PM
Make this one of the coolest things you’ve seen so far this offseason

Mariners RP Gabe Speier is joining Team USA to pitch in the WBC
January 14, 2026 at 6:19 PM
Did Jeff Passan just signal the trade market is about to heat up?

Just know that whenever there is news about infielders, the Mariners are most likely in on it too
January 13, 2026 at 5:32 PM
Some Mariners prospects gathered a little bit of spotlight today in Ryan Sloan and Kade Anderson
January 13, 2026 at 2:58 AM
Do you wan another reason why the Cubs won’t trade Nico Hoerner now?

If they wanted a huge haul in return for an infielder, they would trade former top prospect Matt Shaw, who has significantly more control

Shaw, however, should NOT be an option for the Mariners
January 12, 2026 at 6:25 PM
Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs sends a ripple effect through the Mariners offseason targets

Still want Nico Hoerner? Sorry

That takes Bregman, Hoerner, and Marte off the board in the last few days
January 11, 2026 at 7:03 PM
As Felix Hernandez’s Hall of Fame votes keep tallying up, we ask Dallas Braden what he makes of The King’s Hall of Fame case

“I believe there is a place for Felix”
January 11, 2026 at 3:28 AM
We got asked a great question in yesterday’s mailbag episode on how the two major franchises in the city have approached their 50th season in Seattle

Is it fair to compare how the Seahawks operated this past offseason to how the Mariners are operating this one?
January 10, 2026 at 8:04 PM
We finally have some results from the trade market…… Ketel Marte is off the board, with the Diamondbacks not getting the trade package they wanted

The Mariners are in pivot mode again⬇️
