The #FireJerry crowd will love this one
Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto recently did what Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto does and made a trade, breaking the seal for the 2022 trade deadline season. It was a relatively inconsequential trade for Seattle, acquiring Carlos Santana for a couple minor league relievers whose results so far have been pretty mid. But bigger decisions loom.
The Mariners will...

There’s no Mariners baseball today and I’m...sad about it? Please advise.
Good morning everyone! Oddly, the Mariners have an off-day on a Wednesday which means we don’t get to see them aim for .500 today. The majority of baseball continues today in earnest, so here’s the latest from around the sport.
In Mariners news... This is absolutely incredible (watch until the end).Ty is ready for Hollywood.

In two games the Mariners outscored the Padres 14 to 4, with every aspect of the team firing on all cylinders
Yesterday was a day renowned as a holiday that features barbecues and explosive pageantry, and yesterday the Mariners did not disappoint in matching that theme. This season it has not been rare for the Mariners to occasionally light up like that. What is at the very least medium-rare this year is repeating those performances two days in a row....
The bottom two hitters in Seattle's lineup drove in four runs and Logan Gilbert became the third Major League pitcher to win 10 games this season as the visiting Mariners defeated the Padres 6-2 to complete a two-game sweep in San Diego, Calif.

On the heels of winning his second straight American League Rookie of the Month Award, Seattle Mariners wunderkind Julio Rodríguez has locked up a broader honor: American League Player of the Week.

Julio Rodriguez has provided the Seattle Mariners with a bit of spark as of late. Ever since making his debut on April 8, the Mariners rookie has been locked in.

The Mariners take on the Padres in game two of two in San Diego, coming off of a dominant win
After a fun holiday romp yesterday, Seattle hopes to continue the good vibes and seal a two game sweep in the Padres’ home turf. It looks to be a formidable pitching matchup as Logan Gilbert suits up on the mound for the Mariners, against Mike Clevinger for San Diego.
Tonight’s lineup features a speedy outfield with Dylan Moore getting the start in...
Manager Scott Servais likes the way his Seattle Mariners are playing. However, San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin is not happy with his club. "This is a stretch where we have not played very well," Melvin said Monday after his Padres were routed 8-2 by the Mariners in the opener of a two-game series in San Diego.
The American League Rookie of the Year race is a tight one between several up-and-coming young stars, but there is one in particular who might be the clear-cut favorite.

It’s the J-Rod Show, and we’re all just lucky to be in the audience
I’m not well-versed on the philosophy of anti-mimesis, but I do get a kick out of when the Mariners’ performance imitates my own life circumstances. Sometimes that means sinking in to the gloom - and there is a certain satisfactory comfort to be had in giving yourself over to a bad day - but in the case of this week we...
The San Diego Padres need to make up the ground they lost over the weekend when they lost three of four games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Friars were neck and neck with L.A.

Mariners get up to no good in America’s Finest City, win big behind strong effort from Flexen, young stars Rodríguez and Raleigh
Maybe it’s the tongue-in-cheek forced rivalry between the two clubs, maybe it’s the fact that the Padres and Mariners share a facility in Arizona and see a lot of each other, but there’s something about a series against the Padres that always feels a little more familiar than a random interleague series. Today the Mariners...

Mariners play the first of two in San Diego
Sometimes scrolling through the pictures in the photo tool helps bring back memories long repressed. I was looking for some pictures from the Mariners’ improbable comeback win in 2016, but instead stumbled on picture after picture from the painful three-game sweep they suffered at the hands of the Padres in May of 2021. In case you too have repressed it, they lost the first game 16-1,...
Seattle heads down the coast for a two-game, interleague, mini series in San Diego. The Mariners have worked their way into second place in the AL West and nearly back to .500 at 39-42.
