The X-factor who could make or break the Mariners bullpen

4 days ago | sodomojo.com | Jason Wang

It has been a long time since we've seen Matt Brash pitch for Seattle and it may be even longer until we see him return to peak form. On May 3rd, Matt Brash entered to pitch against the Texas Rangers after 581 days away from the big league mound. It was an emotional return for the 26-year-old pitcher, as well as for Seattle Mariners fans who had been waiting for him to come back.
The Mariners may have blown up their trade deadline plans with latest addition

5 days ago | sodomojo.com | Jason Wang

The team's latest move was a step in the right direction, but it may have one step too far. Things have been going well for the Seattle Mariners. They lead the AL West with a 22-14 record, have a three-game lead over the second-place Athletics, have been putting together a string of strong offensive showings, and their injured pitchers are slowly but surely making their way back to the active roster.

The front office sure doesn't want him to leave, but are they willing to pay the price for him to stay? We haven't heard much from Logan Gilbert ever since he hit the 15-day IL. He has been staying active while on the road to recovery, but while the Seattle Mariners have reached new heights, he has been on the sidelines.
Identifying 4 trade options to electrify the Mariners' lifeless bullpen

Despite their job titles, few of Seattle's pitchers have really given fans any semblance of relief. It has been quite an odd statistical season for the Seattle Mariners. The team's OPS of .754 is the sixth-best in MLB while the team's ERA of 3.72 ranks 12th. While the lineup is hitting new strides, the pitching has been inconsistent, especially the bullpen. The bullpen's ERA of 3.54 is skewed by the outstanding success of Andrés Muñoz and strong showings by Gabe Speier and Carlos Vargas.
Mariners face monumental test in showdown vs. Rangers ace Jacob deGrom

The only thing standing in the way of another series sweep is a generation-defining starter. To say that the Seattle Mariners have been hot would be an understatement. It has been years since the lineup has been this productive and with eight wins in their last ten games, they don't seem to be slowing down at all.
Mariners Rumors: Seattle teased for 'a big swing' at the trade deadline

The front office was passive all offseason. Now they seem ready to turn up the gas. The first month of the Seattle Mariners' regular season is going better than most anticipated. Despite a rough first few weeks, the entire team seems to have hit a new gear and is firing on all cylinders. If you had guessed that the Mariners would have the sixth-best OPS in MLB at the end of April, then you had better foresight than the majority of fans.
3 lessons the Mariners' front office must learn from surprising first month

2 weeks ago | sodomojo.com | Jason Wang

After a rough start, Seattle seems to have turned it around. Now they just have to stay on track. After the first month of the regular, the Mariners have found themselves leading the AL West. It's a close race, with fewer than four games separating them from the last place Angels, but the 16-12 record is on par with other powerhouse teams like the Yankees and Cubs.

Signing expensive free agents is fun and all but nothing beats watching homegrown talent rise the ranks of the minor leagues before debuting with the team that drafted them. The Mariners have been blessed with a core of players who have only ever known one place to be home: Julio Rodríguez, Logan Gilbert, Cal Raleigh, and George Kirby, just to name a few.

Don't let the glare of the brightest young stars distract you from all the other good things happening down on the farm. While the quality of the Seattle Mariners' major league roster is the subject of many heated debates on social media, the quality of the team's prospects isn't as easily disputed. In MLB.com's annual ranking of the best farm systems in baseball, the Mariners placed fifth, likely the highest they'll place in any sort of serious ranking this year.
3 frustrating Mariners players who are getting harder to defend

We're all Mariners apologists but some arguments are easier to win than othersBeing a professional athlete is hard and baseball might be the hardest sport of them all. Over a 162-game season, an individual might go through several hot and cold streaks and it's on the fans to continue having their back in case the moral support ends up being the main difference maker.
