The Mariners feel as close to success as they’ve been in this era thanks to an offensive spark.

Still, injuries have stretched the roster perilously thin.

How about a Mariners Opening Day roster projection on the first day of Spring Training?

Does a Mitch-Mitch-Rivas-Shenton bench catch your fancy?

Really enjoyed this. And it's not an excuse for the Mariners not to spend money on hitters, and it also doesn't mean that their pitching isn't really really good. It's just a hard place to hit. bsky.app/profile/mike...
Why is it so hard to hit at Seattle's T-Mobile Field? A deep one on how the the best pitcher's park in baseball creates strikeouts, limits damage, makes it hard to evaluate pitchers and hitters -- and why it's about more than *just* the batter's eye.

Mike’s analysis of the T-Mobile park factor is a must-read for any Mariners fan wondering why hitting in Seattle is so difficult.

Here is the Vibe Compass for the Mariners Step Back Era (2019-present). You are welcome to disagree but unfortunately it is 100% correct, so that would waste your time. My thanks to @samueljoseph51.bsky.social as always for all of his help and collaboration.

The Mariners finally made a move Monday, and it could be a helpful one within the context of an offseason lacking ambition.

The Mariners finally make a move
After a winter freeze, Seattle signed IF Donovan Solano to a one-year deal Monday

The Mariners sign Donovan Solano, who Baseball Reference lists at every position of need they have.

Solid player to add to the roster for just $3.5M ($1M in incentives), but needs to not fall off a cliff age-wise. No signs of that yet.

Ultimately means nothing tangible, but Darren’s very accurate projected payroll declined more than $2M based on the actual arbitration numbers the Mariners agreed to today.

So if the “projected budget” is based on the range of $150-155M, the Mariners now have closer to $20M than $15M to spend.
With the claiming of Tyler Jay from the Brewers, the #Mariners 40 man payroll stands at $132,098,333.

The Modesto Nuts, the Low-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, will be moving to San Bernardino following the 2025 season.

I covered the implications and move for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social www.lookoutlanding.com/2024/12/12/2...
Modesto Nuts sold to Diamond Sports Group, to move to San Bernardino and continue as Inland Empire after 2025
The Seattle Mariners sold their affiliate and are part of a chain of shifts in the California League.

The Mariners' second base struggles continue—6 different Opening Day starters in 6 years, none a long-term answer.

What should they do in 2025: trust the prospects or gamble on a veteran?
