Renee Ramirez+FollowMariners shake up bullpen for playoff pushEmerson Hancock, usually a starter, just made his first-ever relief appearance for the Tacoma Rainiers, and the Mariners are hoping this bold move will fix their shaky bullpen. With the team fighting for a playoff spot and relievers struggling, Hancock’s high-velocity fastball could be the spark they need. Seattle’s starters are finally healthy, so there’s no room for Hancock in the rotation right now. Turning him into a reliever isn’t new for the Mariners—remember Edwin Diaz and Matt Brash? If this works, it could be a game-changer for Seattle’s postseason hopes. What do you think—will this gamble pay off? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners30Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowVictor Robles faces long Mariners suspensionVictor Robles could be missing from the Mariners lineup for a while after charging the mound and throwing his bat during a minor league rehab game. Frustrated after being hit by a pitch for the fifth time, Robles’ outburst has ESPN’s Jeff Passan predicting a significant suspension, possibly impacting both his rehab and major league return. MLB will decide how and when he serves the suspension, which could affect the Mariners’ playoff push. With no prior disciplinary issues, will Robles get any leniency? How do you feel about MLB’s approach to player discipline in situations like this? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners10Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowMariners’ secret weapon could change the playoff raceSeattle’s playoff push just got a lot more interesting. With the Mariners locked in a fierce division battle, fans are buzzing about top prospect Harry Ford, who’s tearing it up in Triple-A. Ford’s hitting, speed, and discipline at the plate could be the spark Seattle needs, even if his main position is already filled. The front office has been bold all season—could calling up Ford be the next big move? Imagine the energy he’d bring to the lineup as the Mariners chase a deep postseason run. What do you think—should Seattle give Ford his shot now? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners11Share
Maria Chavez+FollowJulio's Close Call at Little League ClassicJulio Rodriguez, the Mariners' rising star, had a lighthearted moment at the Little League Classic. While sliding down the iconic hill, he nearly collided with a security guard. Thankfully, both laughed it off, and Julio continued to shine this season with a .257 average and 24 homers. As the Mariners battle for a wild card spot, every game counts. Can they edge out the Astros in the AL West? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners00Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowDan Wilson’s LLWS Homecoming in Mariners vs MetsHow cool is this? Mariners skipper Dan Wilson, who once played in the Little League World Series back in '81, threw out the first pitch at the LLWS before the Panama vs Mexico game. Now he’s leading the M’s into a rubber match against the Mets at the Little League Classic in Williamsport. It’s a full-circle moment for Wilson and a special way to connect the big leaguers with the next generation. Anyone else get chills seeing a Mariners legend back on that field? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowBig Dumper's Unforgettable LLWS MomentCal Raleigh, affectionately known as “Big Dumper,” had a memorable day at the Little League Classic. Among the usual autograph requests, a fan handed him a toilet seat to sign, a nod to his playful nickname. Raleigh embraced the moment, delighting the crowd. He also sported a custom chest protector featuring his Mariners teammates as Little Leaguers. Raleigh's humor and connection with fans were on full display, making it a day to remember. #Mariners #BigDumper #LLWS #Sports #Baseball #Mariners00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowMariners almost landed MLB’s top closerSeattle was this close to landing Jhoan Duran, one of baseball’s most electric relief pitchers, before the Phillies swooped in with a better offer. Imagine Duran’s 100+ mph fastball shutting down games at T-Mobile Park! While the Mariners’ bullpen is solid, adding Duran could have made them downright scary for any opponent. The Phillies are already seeing the payoff—Duran hasn’t allowed a run since joining them. Do you think the Mariners should have pushed harder for bullpen help, or are you happy with the moves they made? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners20Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowMariners outfield shakeup: Taveras’ comeback in TacomaLeody Taveras looked like just another Mariners bust after a rough start in Seattle, but his story isn’t over yet. Since moving down to Triple-A Tacoma, he’s been on fire—racking up a .919 OPS and 37 RBIs in just 37 games. The switch-hitter’s confidence is back, and he’s starting to look like the prospect everyone once hyped. Still, getting back to the big leagues won’t be easy with the Mariners chasing a playoff spot. Do you think Taveras deserves another shot in Seattle, or is it time for a fresh start elsewhere? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners50Share
terrysharon+FollowMariners’ bold Haniger move pays offThe Mariners’ decision to move on from Mitch Haniger—despite the hefty $15 million price tag—has been totally validated this season. No other team has even given Haniger a shot, not even for the league minimum, which says a lot about how right Seattle’s front office was. It’s not easy to cut ties with a former All-Star, especially when there’s always a risk he could bounce back elsewhere. But this time, the gamble worked. How do you feel about the team’s willingness to make tough calls like this? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners112Share
terrysharon+FollowMariners’ big trade isn’t paying off yetEugenio Suárez was supposed to be the Mariners’ secret weapon for a World Series run, but his return has been rough. After a monster first half, Suárez’s bat has gone ice cold in Seattle—he’s hitting just .114 with one homer since the trade. Fans expected fireworks, but instead, strikeouts are piling up and the offense is sputtering. Is this just a slump, or did the Mariners gamble on the wrong guy at the worst time? With October looming, Seattle can’t afford to wait much longer for Suárez to heat up. What do you think—is this a blip or a big problem? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners20Share
