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? open.substack.com/pub/seatowns...

Per Adam Jude: Mariners broadcast team for 2025 will be TV - Goldy with rotating cast of Angie Mentink, Jay Buhner, Ryan Rowland-Smith and Dave Valle Radio - Rick Rizzs and Gary Hill

Wrote about the Mariners signing Jorge Polanco, a move that requires accepting a few different flawed premises to like. open.substack.com/pub/seatowns...

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...

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.

buy the Seattle Mariners

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. open.substack.com/pub/seatowns...

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.

Here is the recap of Jeff Passan talking #Mariners on Brock and Salk today - with topics including: - Mariners inactivity - Ownership and lack of spending - FA Fits - Rōki Sasaki - How the players should feel about inactivity - Luis Castillo Trade Rumors - More

Well, it was a fun day or so

It’s now a virtual certainty Félix Hernandez stays on the HOF ballot for another year.

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...

So anyway, the Winter Meetings went well 😂

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? Dive into @marinermuse.bsky.social breakdown: www.seatownsports.org/p/lets-talk-... ⚾ #Mariners #MLB

Wrote out my thoughts on the Mariners second base situation. There’s one guy out there I like, and if he’s unavailable, I am uninterested in yet another veteran retread. open.substack.com/pub/seatowns...

The #Mariners did this to themselves. If you're not going to *really* spend, and the targets you want are on teams who don't want prospects, who do you think they are going to ask for? This is how you wind up with an off-season of Turner/Santana and Hyeseong Kim.

Further confirmation from Mariners dot com that the Mariners are almost definitely operating with a $150-$155M season-long payroll budget

Agree with the Rōki framing. I think this is an interesting move for the Mariners, but the foreboding sense I get is that they’d be getting the two worst future value players in this trade to meet their short term needs.

Mariners keeping their stalwart veteran assistant coaches around Dan Wilson is reassuring.

Personally think Kris Negrón should be the next full-time manager of the Mariners, unless Dan Wilson proves to be a transformative manager.

In other staff updates, Mariners are planning to shift Manny Acta to bench coach, Kristopher Negrón to 3B coach and hire Eric Young Jr. as the new 1B coach, per sources. Negrón was a finalist for the White Sox managerial job and is seen as a coach on the rise in the industry.

Mariners hiring the two Braves’ hitting coaches who were not retained this past year to work under Edgar is an interesting way to approach their hitting coaching this season.

Just read an entire offseason rumors article that was thousands of words but the word “Mariners” never appeared

2.5 hours of Mariners offseason coverage from plugged in people who will tell it like it is. @pucksports.bsky.social has been a huge win for Mariners fans this year.
