Hello Seattle Mariners fans!

There are rumblings of several interesting players coming over from the Korean and Japan baseball leagues, some of whom have already been tied to the Mariners. Where will they make a surprise addition? Will Mitch Haniger make it to spring? What’s the most likely spot to add a free agent bat? We take...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
John Trupin, Evan James and prospect expert Max Ellingsen are back to recap a mostly sterling 2024 season for down on the farm. Obviously you’ve heard legend of the AA playoff run with stars like Cole Young and Harry Ford shining brightly, but what of Colt Emerson in the Fall League? Who else deserves a shout out as we close the book on the 2024 minor league season?

Kate Preusser, Evan James and John Trupin are back for the first podcast of the offseason. We kick off the dry spell with a smattering of listener questions.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Anders Jorstad, Zach Mason and Evan James are here on Wednesday September 4th to look forward. Yes, this year didn’t work out the way we would have hoped, but is there anything we ARE looking forward to seeing over the final month? Who's playing for a role in 2025? Which young players can still pop off in September? How will we evaluate Dan Wilson with such a short time to do so?

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Anders Jorstad, Zach Mason and Evan James are here on Friday August 30th to talk mutiny aboard the good ship Mariner. The Tacoma News Tribune (and other sources) aired some grievances with Jerry Dipoto in the wake of Scott Servais’s unceremonious dismissal. How do we evaluate the decisions behind the 2024 offense moving forward? Does Jerry still deserve to helm the ship? Is the grass always greener? What extreme measures could the team take to improve for...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Zach Mason, John Trupin and Kate Preusser are here on Monday August 12th to celebrate the extension of Victor Robles! A generation removed from Jerry low balling Jarred Kelenic on a long term extension, the Mariners finally have their Robin (to Julio’s Batman) in Right Field. Who is up for an extension next and why is it Cal? Can we keep both Logan and Kirby? Sure Robles is fun now, but what can we expect going forward? Have the outfield vibes ever been so...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
A trade! John Trupin Kate Preusser and prospect analyst Max Ellingsen are here to talk Randy Arozarena and the first deadline move of 2024! In exchange the Mariners parted with a player to be named later and 2023 draft picks Brody Hopkins and Aidan Smith. Is this as cheap as it seems? Did Dan Szymborski nail it when he said the value on Arozarena was lower than some expected? Will we rue the loss of Hopkins and Smith? Are more moves...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Movement is afoot! Evan James, Zach Mason and John Trupin are here to deliver the autopsy for the Mariners battered lineup with Julio and JP hitting the IL and Ty France not hitting and therefore hitting the road. With a week to go before the trade deadline the injuries have brought rise to half the Tacoma lineup arriving in Seattle: Jason Vossler, Leo Rivas, Tyler Locklear and the swift return of Jonatan Clase. Is this anything? Probably not but fresh blood...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Max Ellingsen and Kate Preusser are here to review the dull depth of the 2024 Mariners draft haul. Obviously the first two picks are the names that has everyone buzzing, but what of the depth beyond the early round picks? Who are the sleepers? Who has the unrefined tools to make a big jump in pro ball? What trends did the Mariners reveal in their process based on their selections?

The OG gang is back! John Trupin, Kate Preusser and Evan James are here to dive into the Mariners 2024 season now crawling past the halfway mark. What’s to do with Bryan Woo? What does a trade to augment this offense really look like? Is Julio regressing or is there still hope for a major uptick in performance?

Evan James is here with Anders Jorstad and Zach Mason to talk the Mariner sin the midst of an uninspiring road trip. As we sit here at about noon on June 23rd, the Mariners are down 2-6 to the Miami Marlins in line for a second consecutive losing series. Is the pitching away from T Mobile Park as bad as advertised on Twitter (I will never say “X”)? Are we seeing normal progression from B-Money or reason to worry? Is Luis Robert Jr. in play for a trade? What might...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!
Zach Mason, Evan James and Anders Jorstad are here on Wednesday June 12th to celebrate the arrival of Mariners prospect Tyler (no relation to Heather) Locklear. The big news of the day is that BRYAN WOO IS OKAY! I’m sorry but that’s genuinely all I care about. Bryan Woo’s MRI was “perfectly clean”, they expect to slot him back into the rotation next week, likely on a pitch count and he’ll throw 6 shutout anyways because that’s what Woo do. Everything is coming up...
