The Mariners have announced their 2027 schedule. They are slated to open at home once again, this time against the Red Sox.

Latest All-Star voting update: Randy Arozarena joins Julio Rodríguez in the top six of AL outfielders. Phase one of voting ends Thursday at 9 am PT. Unless the AL’s top vote-getter is an outfielder (which isn’t currently the case), six OFs will advance to phase two to determine three starters.
Updated PECOTA projections this morning. Having won their last seven, the Mariners’ projected win total for the full season is back up to exactly 90.
Most valuable Mariners position player so far by fWAR, and by a pretty fair margin.
There are a lot of problems with this team, namely an inconsistent offense. However, Dan becomes a poster child for it all when he provides us images like this one. Installed as manager on the same day as his predecessor’s firing, by the way.
First big-league hit is a three-run homer to break it wide open.
Almost unbelievable how bad the American League looks so far.
Mariners roster move, as reported by Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.
Brendan Donovan back in the Mariners lineup tonight, leading off and playing third base.
Homer in four of 30 ballparks according to Baseball Savant. I’m tellin’ ya, I think he’ll play well in Seattle
Opening Day roster, via the Mariners. No surprises. J.P. Crawford and Bryce Miller will both begin the season on the injured list.
