Get the latest news and rumors about the Seattle Mariners from Rant Sports.
The Seattle Mariners knew coming into the 2013 MLB season that any of the success they would have would likely be spawned from the top of their starting rotation. With Felix Hernandez and the emerging Hisashi Iwakuma taking up the roles of their no. 1 and 2 starters, the Mariners knew they could likely count [...]
There are a lot of talented baseball players on the roster of the Seattle Mariners. They have the talent to win a lot of games. The fact that they haven’t is a bit of a mystery to me but it is at least clear that they haven’t been able to put a winning formula on [...]
The Seattle Mariners don’t have something to cheer about every single game but they do have talented players and where there are that many good players, as in any MLB clubhouse, great things can happen. Aaron Harang might not be the name normally lined up next to greatness but he could be and for three [...]
The Seattle Mariners are making a big mistake in promoting their top prospect, catcher Mike Zunino. Zunino, 22, was the third pick in the 2012 MLB Draft and is the first of his class to be promoted to Triple-A and the third member of his draft class to reach the Majors. However, Zunino has [...]
By the nature of their jobs, MLB relief pitchers live and die by small sample sizes; and it wasn’t so long ago that the sample size for Carter Capps‘ body of work in 2013 indicated that he was, to put it nicely, a mess. With at least a run allowed in six of his first [...]
The Seattle Mariners have fallen to fourth place in the American League West and have way too many impact players on the disabled list to make any serious charge forward. That doesn’t mean that nothing is going their way however. Ace pitcher Felix Hernandez is having another stellar year. He will go out against the [...]
Okay, you win, Kyle Seager — I was wrong. Despite the Seattle Mariners third baseman putting up a 3.6 fWAR season in his first full season in 2012, it wasn’t exactly easy to be a long-term believer of the then 24-year-old. Sure, he’d displayed a tantalizing power/speed combo with 20 home runs and 13 stolen [...]
The Seattle Mariners had found themselves devoid of a lot of quality hitters. They began to remedy that situation by picking New Mexico third baseman DJ Peterson with the No. 12 pick in the 2013 MLB Draft. The thing that the fans in Seattle will love about Peterson is that he is a pure hitter [...]
As Wednesday’s game between the Seattle Mariners and the Chicago White Sox went into extra innings, there was no question that the game was a pitcher’s duel. Mariners stud Hisashi Iwakuma gave up just three hits and no runs over eight innings with Yoervis Medina pitching a scoreless ninth. Meanwhile, a quartet of White Sox [...]
The Seattle Mariners were a very respectable 26-33 going into Wednesday’s action. There is a burning question in my mind for this team moving forward, though. Will this be the year where the Mariners decide to bring something in around Felix Hernandez? He moved to 7-4 with a win on Tuesday night with a 2.58 [...]
