One of the biggest surprises out of Seattle’s bullpen in 2025 was the stamina and ability of Eduard Bazardo, who filled out the middle innings more than anyone else over the course of the year. But can the breakout reliever recover from his Game 7 blown save?

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.

The Mariners had a chance to punch a ticket to the World Series in Game 6 of the ALCS, but due to a whole host of preventable mistakes, they will face elimination for the second time this season. How did Seattle drop the ball on Sunday night?

It was another boat race for the Blue Jays on Thursday night, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and co. once again put on a hitting clinic to knot the series at two games apiece. Why did the Mariners once again fall victim to Toronto’s aggressive swingers?

Despite some early uncertainty, the Mariners delivered a statement Game 2 win in Rogers Centre, tapping a variety of heroes as they return home with a big advantage for Game 3.

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.

It was all over about four times during the 2025 regular season, as the Mariners repeatedly went on the verge of crashing out completely. But repeatedly, they roared back—can they do it when there is truly no other option?

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?

Seattle couldn’t get it done on Wednesday, dropping the chance to put the Tigers to bed in their own ballpark as Detroit forced Game 5 in Seattle. What made the tables turn so quickly in the back half of Game 4?

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.

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.

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?

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.

The Mariners have a rest day Monday, but their previous nine games—including two sweeps at home—produced some stark numbers that help explain Seattle’s recent winning streak and climb to the top of the AL West.

The Seattle Mariners had their second extra-inning slog in as many days, and once more, the bullpen put together a Herculean effort while the offense had more than its fair share of struggles. But baseball—especially in September—is akin to magic and fantasy, and Thursday’s game had a fairy-tale ending.
