Falling in Game 7 of the ALCS, the Mariners ultimately came up short of their goal of snapping the franchise’s World Series drought, but 2025 proved to still be a historic one for Cal Raleigh and company.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson made a decision that will live in infamy during Game 7, and the mistake cost the M’s the season. That decision and others on Monday reflected long-visible managerial tendencies that Wilson will have to adjust come 2026.

The Mariners couldn’t get it done. That much is not new; it has been true 48 times before. But the way it happened in 2025 was one that brought the city of Seattle closer than they had ever come—and that is why it stung the hardest.

With their backs to the wall for what seemed like the 100th time in 2025, the Seattle Mariners came up big in a Game 5 for the history books. How did the M’s rise again from the grave on Friday afternoon?

Bucking the odds after a 15-inning win in Game 5 of the ALDS to beat the Tigers, the Mariners came to Toronto off of short rest and shut down Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays to take a 2-0 lead in the ALCS. How has the pitching staff gotten it done for Seattle?

Few expected that a Blue Jays team coming off an offensive firestorm would be all but shut down, but that’s what Bryce Miller and the Mariners did on Sunday night’s opener. How did Seattle strike ahead in Game 1?

A 15-inning epic, a long-awaited return, an instant classic. The Mariners’ marathon win over the Detroit Tigers defied logic and expectations, but perhaps that was the only way such a victory could occur.

The Detroit Tigers went to town on the Mariners bullpen on Wednesday afternoon, forcing a winner-take-all ALDS Game 5 in Seattle. Can the M’s defeat the best pitcher in the AL and punch their ticket to the ALCS?

It wasn’t a pitching duel like Games 1 and 2, but things fell into place for the Mariners in Game 3 while Tigers manager A. J. Hinch’s best laid plans went awry.

Like almost everything involving the 2025 Mariners, it went down to the wire. Yet due to the success of some of their greatest heroes—and despite the errors of another—the M’s pulled through on Sunday night.

As morning dawns on the Mariners’ mistakes from Saturday night, some final things can be gleaned before the team gears up to face Tarik Skubal in Game 2. What might be on Seattle’s mind headed into Sunday?

The M’s dropped a very winnable ALDS Game 1 on Saturday night, giving the team an uphill climb as they face the best pitcher in the AL in a must-win Game 2. What were the five key moments that produced Seattle’s defeat?

The Mariners and Tigers opened their ALDS matchup with a battle of the bullpen, but Detroit was the last one standing, completing a dominant effort from its relievers to steal Game 1 of the series.

There may not have been any real consequence to the Seattle Mariners’ Wednesday scrimmage at T-Mobile Park, but the five innings of action still gave some insights into what’s going on in the Mariners clubhouse as the ALDS approaches.

A little too much went wrong against the defending champions on Saturday, and the Mariners are on the verge of being swept in their final (although mostly meaningless) series of the year. What kept the team out of the win column on the penultimate day of the season?

For the second time in four years, the Seattle Mariners are going to the postseason, taking a comeback win to clinch their berth. And who else but one of their newest yet most beloved heroes to do the final honors?

Saturday’s marathon match between the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros was an instant classic in the heated AL West rivalry—and it was made so by two moments that baseball will not soon forget.

The Seattle Mariners may have finally slain their unrelenting demons on Saturday night in Houston. Cal Raleigh got his 57th home run, George Kirby balled out on the mound, but it was the last play of the game that will go down in Mariners legend.

Bryan Woo may have worked a shutdown five innings on Friday, but discomfort forced the M’s to pull him early. Luckily for Seattle, the men they rely on time and time again came through, but there is still a cloud hanging over the team pending Woo’s MRI.

Some things, like the elite pitching duel, can be gleaned from Thursday’s box score, but the game also contained a bafflingly odd sequence that reminds us of baseball’s oddities as the M’s moved back into first place in the West.
