Ranking the 15 biggest draft busts in Seattle Mariners franchise history

2 days ago | sodomojo.com | Tanner Vogt

Every June, MLB teams have a chance to change the course of their franchise — scanning high school fields and college diamonds in hopes of finding the next Griffey, Jeter, or Maddux. But unlike those of the NFL and NBA, the MLB Draft is a brutal lottery, filled with countless players that never fulfill their dream of playing in the major leagues. For every superstar, there are dozens of players who never sniff the big leagues.
How Mariners' Cal Raleigh can pull off historic AL MVP upset over Yankees' Aaron Judge

2 days ago | sodomojo.com | Tanner Vogt

As the 2025 season barrels toward the All-Star break, Cal Raleigh is not just the heart of the Seattle Mariners’ lineup. He's also making a legitimate case to pull off one of the most stunning MVP upsets in recent memory.
Cole Young's Mariners promotion has created a potentially fatal flaw in roster

4 days ago | sodomojo.com | Tanner Vogt

In a move that’s more about the Seattle Mariners’ future than their present emergency preparedness, Seattle recently promoted top infield prospect Cole Young while optioning utilityman Leo Rivas. On the surface, it’s an exciting baseball decision — Young is a cornerstone piece of the rebuild, a polished lefty bat with elite plate discipline. But in the roster shuffle, the Mariners may have unknowingly created a low-key, potentially catastrophic flaw: they no longer have an emergency catcher.

Thirty-eight years ago today, the Seattle Mariners made the most important decision in franchise history. With the No. 1 overall pick in the 1987 MLB Draft, they selected a 17-year-old high school phenom from Cincinnati, Ohio: George Kenneth Griffey Jr.That swing. That smile. That backwards cap. Griffey didn’t just define an era — he was the era.

Mitch Garver has had a rocky start to his Seattle Mariners tenure, but there are signs he may finally be settling in. He has been victim to heavy criticism after becoming the largest free-agent offensive addition in the Jerry Dipoto era, something he will hopefully live up to the rest of this year.
Wilting 1st-place Mariners must hear a clear warning from their history

3 weeks ago | sodomojo.com | Tanner Vogt

The 2025 Seattle Mariners find themselves in a familiar yet precarious position — first place in the AL West, holding a slim 1.5-game lead and a 48.8 percent chance to win the division. If that sounds like good news, it is, but not without some level of doubt from Mariner fans, and rightfully so. The scars of the 2024 collapse still linger. A year ago, Seattle was sitting atop the division with a commanding 10-game lead and an 86.3 percent postseason probability.
Injury-ravaged Mariners pluck a disposable outfielder from AL West rival

In a surprise waiver claim, the Seattle Mariners have added outfielder Leody Taveras from the Texas Rangers, further bolstering an outfield that has been ravaged with injuries. The move comes as the Rangers continue to spiral, beginning with some changes to their coaching staff. Former Mariners slugger Brett Boone was just brought in as Texas’ new hitting coach after the firing of multiple staffers, and Taveras was the first roster casualty of the transition.
Whispers of Astros menace hitting the trade block should interest the Mariners

The Houston Astros may be heading toward an unthinkable scenario: placing Framber Valdez on the trading block. With the Astros off to a sluggish start to the season — 17-17 and 3.0 games back in the American League West — and a roster showing signs of age, Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently mused on MLB Network that Valdez could be dangled as trade bait if the Astros fall further out of contention.
Mariners Prospects: Jonny Farmelo is already making Seattle's farm system even stronger

After a lost 2024 season that saw him sidelined with a torn ACL, Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonny Farmelo returned to the field in 2025 with a thunderous reminder of his elite potential — crushing a home run in his very first at-bat. It was a great moment to see for the 2023 draft pick, who had spent over a year rehabbing and watching from the sidelines as other names in Seattle’s stacked farm system surged ahead in the spotlight.
