Hearing MLB trade candidates with 1 year of control left — Logan Gilbert, Steven Kwan, Joe Ryan, Sandy Alcántara, et al — are unlikely to be moved for prospects this month, because teams aren’t sure what kind of 2027 season to expect. However, sources say pending free agents could be moved *for each other* as a way to balance the risk.

"Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander are doubling down on things that they think are working in this organization." See @shannondrayer's full video on the #Mariners hiring of Jason Kanzler in the article below.

Several rival executives believed Kanzler would be manager after the Mariners hired his close friend, CJ Gillman, to be their hitting coach last week
The Seattle Mariners indeed hire Jason Kanzler to be their new manager, as @DKramer_ reported

Assuming Randy Arozarena rejects this and signs with another team for a contract exceeding $50m in total value, the Mariners will receive a Compensation Pick after the first round of the 2027 MLB Draft for losing Arozarena (assuming nothing changes in the new CBA).
Sources: The Seattle Mariners have extended a qualifying offer to OF Randy Arozarena for the 2027 season. The one-year offer is worth $23.1 million. Arozarena is expected to reject it in the coming days.

Just 34.7% of runs this postseason were scored via HR, the lowest mark in a postseason since 2014 (33.3%) In the World Series specifically, it was 13.5%, the 2nd-lowest in any WS since start of 1951, behind 2014 (12.3%)

Do people know that, for example, when the Brewers hired Pat Murphy, he didn't get to "hire his own" hitting coach or a pitching coach? They kept who they had at both spots, and the PC is still there?
Or an NFL team hiring a head coach before hiring its GM. Got it.

The Mariners are indeed bringing on CJ Gillman as a Major League hitting coach, a source confirms a first report from @Ken_Rosenthal. Gillman was their Minor League hitting coordinator from 2022-25 and a huge presence for many within their young core.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 WE HAVE OUR 100TH MEMBER! Kyle Seager received 97% of 41,500 votes and is now officially the 100th Hall of Pretty Good inductee. Seager, who was born on November 3rd, 1987, in California, was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 3rd round of the 2009 MLB Draft after a successful college career at UNC, where he was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award. Seager would have a quick rise through the minor leagues and make his MLB debut on July 6th, 2011. This would jumpstart one of the most consistent and underrated careers in recent memory. Seager would be a beacon of durability, only heading to the injured list once in his 11-year career. From 2012-2019, Seager always managed to hit at least 20 home runs in a season, a streak that was only stopped by the limited 60-game season in 2020. Had the season been played in full, he was on pace to reach 24 long balls, keeping pace with his consistent production. Seager was a one-time All-Star and a one-time Gold Glove Award winner. He also received MVP votes in two different seasons (2014 and 2016). One of the most memorable things about Kyle Seager’s career was his notable final season, which saw him set career highs in home runs (35) and RBIs (101). After that power surge in 2021, he decided to hang up the cleats at the age of 33. Kyle Seager is regarded as one of the best players in Mariners history, having been included on the team’s list of 50 best players to celebrate the Mariners’ 50th anniversary. At the time of his induction, Seager ranks 4th in games played in franchise history, 4th in hits, 4th in home runs, 3rd in doubles, and 4th in RBIs. Seager grew up a Yankees fan and loved Derek Jeter. While Jeter received 97.75% of the Hall of Fame votes a few years ago, getting 97% of over 40,000 fan votes to become the 100th HoPG inductee sounds pretty good to me. Congratulations to Mariners legend Kyle Seager!

Ben Williamson is the first former @RainiersLand to have a walk-off hit in the #WorldSeries since Scott Podsednik (w/ TAC from 2001-02) hit a walk-off HR for the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 of the 2005 Fall Classic!
