Only a few innings away from their first World Series appearance, the Mariners look to be only a piece or two away from finally ending their Fall Classic drought. Which free agent position players could help Seattle’s quest in 2026?

In a shock to few in the baseball world, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has won the 2025 Silver Slugger Award for catchers in the AL, given to one player in each position in each league who had an outstanding offensive year.

It’s not the AL MVP, but it’s pretty good nonetheless: Cal Raleigh has two more prizes in 2025, this time the MLBPA Player of the Year and AL Outstanding Player, both voted on by MLB players. Raleigh became the first Mariner to win the Player of the Year title.

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.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced that Bryce Miller will get the ball for Game 5, while team ace Bryan Woo will be one of the team’s bullpen options in what could be their final home game of 2025. The decision indicates some continued caution around Woo following his injury in Houston.

It all went wrong for the Mariners on Wednesday night, with the Blue Jays putting up a baker’s dozen runs in a blowout in front of T-Mobile Park’s home fans. Why did Toronto’s bats wake up in Game 3, and what made the M’s response so lackluster?

The odd silence from the Blue Jays’ bats in the first two games of the ALCS might seem strange, but when you look at where the Mariners have been pitching, Seattle’s shutdown statements begin to become clear.
