If the Mariners are going to move away from Andrés Muñoz as their closer, it would take a collapse hitherto undreamt of. And since that’s not where we are, this bullpen conversation should probably start in a more honest place.
The Seattle Mariners received an encouraging injury update Thursday as J.P. Crawford moved closer to a possible return. The shortstop resumed baseball activity at Camden Yards, giving the club a meaningful sign during an important road series.
The Seattle Mariners made another bullpen adjustment Thursday before facing the Baltimore Orioles, selecting Michael Rucker’s contract and designating Domingo Gonzalez for assignment.
How many of the 53 Major League Baseball players not born in the United States of America with 250 or more career home runs can you name in seven minutes?
This one is kind of simple. Domingo González was called up, asked to eat up innings, gave up a nasty grand slam, and then quickly was dismissed from the 40-man roster.
Not every all-timer has instant success at the next level. For many baseball players, it takes a few bumps in the road out of the gate before they ever reach stardom.
The Mariners announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Michael Rucker. Fellow righty Domingo González has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move.
There is a responsible way to talk about Kade Anderson. And that’s the line we’ve been trying to hold. Prospects come with disclaimers and carving up Double-A hitters is not the same as the big leagues.
It can be tough to find true impact players towards the back half of the first round, but that certainly hasn’t stopped the Mariners from shooting for the moon in the past.
The visiting Seattle Mariners might want to be careful with the fastballs they deliver to Baltimore's Jackson Holliday when the teams meet Thursday night in the finale of a four-game series.
This would've been an easier argument before Mitch Garver sent one out of Camden on June 9. But still, among the uncomfortable roster conversations the Mariners have coming up, catcher has suddenly entered the chat.
The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.
It may have started on time and finished without interruption, but Wednesday night’s game was rain-delayed in spirit for the Mariners. They could never really get the engine to start for their offense as they dropped the third game of their series in Baltimore, 7-2.
The Seattle Mariners have made a plethora of moves ahead of Game 3 of the 4-game set against the Baltimore Orioles. Seattle has taken both of the first two games of the series, aiming to earn the series win on Wednesday in just a few hours.
No offense to Miles Mastrobuoni, but way to ruin a good thing, Seattle. That’s probably a little unfair. Mastrobuoni didn’t make the roster decision. He is simply coming back from injury.
The Mariners announced a series of roster moves today. Infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and right-hander Domingo González has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.

Randy Dobnak signed a minor league deal with the Mariners last November, and he’s spent the first 10 weeks of the season with Triple-A Tacoma. However, Ari Alexander of 7News Boston reports that the right-hander has a June 15 upward mobility clause in his contract.
The Seattle Mariners will be without their longtime shortstop J.P. Crawford, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday afternoon. According to a team announcement, the Mariners have recalled infielder Ryan Bliss from Triple-A Tacoma to take Crawford's place on the active roster.
A heckler tried to get under Randy Arozarena’s skin and ended up having a cool souvenir from Sunday’s game between the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich.
The Detroit Tigers are beefing with Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor. Naylor was seemingly thrown at by Tigers pitcher Keider Montero during the fifth inning of Saturday’s game at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich.
