The Rockies new front office opens up a bullpen trade with the Mariners Jerry Dipoto’s first trade with Colorado while helming Seattle might require his old friend.

Jerry Dipoto has made a trade w/nearly every team in baseball in his time at the helm of the Seattle Mariners.

The Colorado Rockies are one of the only exceptions, but with his former compatriot+boss Josh Byrnes now the GM, the M’s & Rox are poised for a swap. www.lookoutlanding.com/seattle-mari...

Geno Suarez blowing the biggest bubble of all time and the bubble just burst to mame it look like Pacman and so I made the bubble pacman and hes chasing the ghosts

One of our local sports photographers got a picture in the Time 100 Photos of the Year & to commemorate that I made this out of one of her other great works:

The Mariners were the most searched sports team in the United States in 2025, according to Google.

Cyborg Anthropology was one of the most impactful courses I had as a student, from a direct disciple of Dr. Haraway.

Very neat to see her work continue (and continue being honored).

Mariners announce Fan Fest to return to T-Mobile Park in 2026 Mariners Fan Fest returns for the first time since 2019 with opportunities for player meet-and-greets and more

First the drunken raccoon, now this: Mariners Fan Fest is back! Truly our cups runneth over (although now as much as the raccoon's did) www.lookoutlanding.com/good-news/13...

This is a good read.

My opinion on Mattingly is the same as it was for Garvey and Hodges and others: If you've been rejected 15+ times by multiple voting sets, you're not a HOF'er.

Vets Cmttes should be for guys who barely got a chance in the first place. Like: Lou Whitaker.

The 50 greatest Mariners, as chosen by me Remember some guys?

“What if rich kids take advantage of free school lunches?” is like asking “What if rich executives take advantage of public transportation?”

What if they do?

They probably won’t. But what if they do?

Well, nothing.

Could lead to increased trading between the Mariners and Rockies.

Josh Byrnes and Jerry Dipoto worked together in Colorado and Boston, with Byrnes bringing Dipoto to Arizona as a scouting exec when he was hired to be the Diamondbacks GM.

whenever I see this topic, I think back to @robarthur.bsky.social's two-parter from 2021 on fielding and how much better it had gotten. First part covered how defenders were playing deeper, removing a bunch of hits thanks to better athleticism and throwing ability in particular:

Reposting this 🧵 in case you need a little inspiration today that change is possible :)

i’ll never understand why public transit haters discourage use of public transit and want to defund it. if less people use cars the roads will have less traffic and you’ll get to where you want faster with your own car. stupid people

Landis was so committed to preserving this status quo and all its implications, he instructed park owners not to rent their stadiums for off-season exhibitions of MLB stars against the Negro Leagues. The commissioner suspended Babe Ruth for the first six weeks of the 1922 season (and crushed attendance at Yankees games in his absence) for the mortal sin of barnstorming with the best Black players. Put another way, under Landis, MLB obscured the joys of a structure where teams could, without restriction, recruit the very best players to their team. The league punished anyone who had dreamed of a future of true competitive integrity, even its biggest star, to preserve what historian Larry Lester precisely described as "apartheid baseball."

Also revisited the 1919 Black Sox scandal, which I learned caused no discernible harm to MLB’s business, just its image in the eyes of press. The first commissioner punished the Black Sox while enforcing a far worse violation of competitive integrity. frontofficesports.com/gambling-isn...

Completely unrelated, but this little shop wouldn’t be compliant in new construction in Seattle where retail mandates a 30’ depth for some arbitrary reason. Zoning codes and city planners do not know how to make good buildings.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Dominic Canzone was a top 15 hitter by wRC+.... if you lower the PA threshold to qualify. A brief look at some of the changes he made and why the Mariners' *seem* set on him in right field next year.
