I’m late to the party and as such there isn’t a whole lot to add to what has already been said around the blogosphere with regards to the firing of manager Don Wakamatsu.  Dave at USS Mariner wrote that the Ken Griffey Jr. situation played the biggest role in Wakamatsu’s downfall as that event turned [...]

If you follow me on Twitter you already know that I am deeply saddened by the Seattle’ Mariners latest trade.  The Boston Red Sox have reportedly acquired Jack Hannahan for future considerations (PTBNL or cash). Hannahan, as you may or may not know, is one of my favorite players in all of baseball.  I liked [...]

The 2010 First-Year Player Draft starts at 4pm! Today the Mariners will be selecting at #43.  Come join Scott, Conor, Rob and I starting at 3:30 to talk draft, Mariners, prospects and whatever else.

The Seattle Mariners made six more cuts today, wiping out all of the rest of the 40-man newbies.  Dustin Ackley, Dan Cortes, Edward Paredes, Anthony Varvaro and Ricky Orta were all optioned to AA West Tenn, while Ezequiel Carrera was optioned to AAA Tacoma.

Four more Spring Training cuts rolled in today, and these four were even less surprising than some of the first batch. First basemen Tommy Everidge and Brad Nelson along with outfielders Greg Halman and Mike Wilson have been reassigned to minor league camp. 

Seven non-roster invites and one 40-man player have been voted off the island. Catchers Steve Baron and Luis Oliveros, lefty starters Mauricio Robles, Chris Seddon, Ryan Feierabend and Nick Hill and right handed relievers Joshua Fields and Steven Shell are the first cuts of the spring for our Seattle Mariners.
