With the All-Star break behind us and the trade deadline just a couple weeks away, which Mariners are most likely to be traded? Most fans would like to see Félix Hernández or Kyle Seager moved but both have high salaries, have dealt with injuries this season and have produced well below expectations. These two aren't going anywhere. The Mariners do have a couple of players left that have had good seasons, low salaries and are currently healthy. Domingo Santana's outfield defense is the one blemi...

Since we are at the All-Star break, it's a good time to take a look at some of the players the Mariners traded away this year. Fans are usually very critical of trading away their favorite players and are often surprised to learn how things are going with their new team. Let's start with Robinson Cano. Cano is having his worst season thus far in his major league career. His triple slash line of .240/.287/.360 (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging) are all career lows. With only four home...

Daniel Vogelbach will be going to the baseball All Star Game for the Mariners this year. He was picked up in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on July 20, 2016 with Paul Blackburn for Jordan Pries and Mike Montgomery. This turned out to be a great trade for the Mariners as Pries never made it out of the minors and stopped pitching after the 2016 season. Montgomery currently has an ERA of 6.08 with the Cubs this year. I think it is safe to say the Mariners won a trade! Vogelbach is currently hitting...

Since the season has gone off the rails and more trades are likely on the way, I thought it would be a good time to look at some prospects that are close to major league ready in the farm system. Justin Dunn, an AA pitcher at Arkansas, has a 5-3 record with a 3.46 ERA in 13 starts. He is averaging 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings at double AA while his walks are down to 2.8 per nine innings. Justin was part of last year's trade with the Mets and he could move up the system quickly. Evan White,...
Another Mariner player was traded over the weekend. This time it was the current American League home run leader Edwin Encarnación. He was sent to the New York Yankees for minor league pitcher Juan Then. If that name sounds familiar it is because the Mariners originally drafted Juan and traded him in November of 2017 for Yankees AAA relief pitcher Nick Rumbelow. Juan, now 19 years old, has yet to pitch this season as the rookie ball league he was assigned to hasn't started yet. Apparently, his...

The Mariners took pitchers in nine of their first 11 picks in this past weeks baseball player’s draft. Overall, out of their 41 picks they took 23 pitchers. That works out to 56% of all picks in this year’s draft. The average team takes about 54% pitchers to 46% position players. If you were listening to the local sports station you may have heard them criticize taking so many pitchers so early in the draft. With the Mariners pitching staff currently giving up over six runs per game, pitching is definitely a need. Pitchers drafted, make the...

Little did she know then that the frightening experience would ultimately result in her running her first marathon, which she completed on April 28. Carter said she woke up with a case of drop foot about a year ago. Through physical therapy, and rest, the nerve eventually healed over a three-month period. "During that time, I thought about all the people that don't have...

"When my brother turned 40, I thought it would be fun to do a 10K together so I signed him up. He thought it was terrible and has been looking for a way to get back at me. So, nine years later he signed me up for the Robie Creek Half Marathon. It's one of the toughest halfs ever. It is 8.5 miles...
