Sure sign Logan Gilbert is pitching in a B game.

Mariners bullpen catcher Justin Novak getting after it in Kirby’s BP. Brings the energy -and here sound effects- in everything he does. The guys love working with him.

JP Crawford is back from seeing Dr Meister in Texas. Received an injection, should be back on the field in a couple days at which point the M’s will make the determination of whether or not he can be ready for the start of the season.

We should have some newsy days coming. More on Crawford tomorrow, Opening Day starter in the next couple of days, could have a decision on Miller’s replacement as well.

Easily one of my favorite full circle stories. IYKYK, #Mariners fans loss, Mariners and other orgs gain.

#Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller stopped short of throwing a planned bullpen at spring training today. @shannondrayer.bsky.social has the story, plus what it means for Miller's status for the regular season as he continues to rehab from oblique inflammation. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

The Mariners have optioned Blas Castano and Domingo Gonzalez to AAA. Tyler Cleveland, Lazaro Montes, Michael Morales, Spencer Packard and Nick Raposo have been re-assigned to minor league camp.

And Brash indeed is on the game day roster.

Bryce Miller will throw his first bullpen today since being sidelined with the oblique issue. With 2 weeks to go it seems impossible he would be ready for the start of the season but M's not saying that yet. Good step regardless. Also, Matt Brash could throw in a game as soon as today.

Kirby was all smiles after his outing partly because it went well but mostly because he used a PitchCom to call some of his own pitches. Estimated he called 8-10 pitches today. He said having it locks him in more. More control leads to more conviction, more confidence. And yes, Cal knows.

I will have 10 pieces of bacon, please.

Victor Robles back in the #Mariners lineup today at DH after missing nearly a week with a sore shoulder. Bryce Miller to get on the mound for the first time since reporting oblique soreness. Will throw a light "touch-and-feel" session. If he responds well, a full bullpen would be the next step.

This barely begins to scratch the surface of what Bern does for the #Mariners but you have to start somewhere. A walk in the park with the M's mental performance coach. Video in link below

From the #Mariners game notes, Kade Anderson will start Friday against the Rangers in Surprise.

For years I have asked Mariners managers if they could see a stamp of "Mariners" on the young players from the farm system we were seeing in spring training. This year I didn't need to ask.

Ever humble, Andrés Muñoz is not shy about seeking out those who are "open to teach" as he is "open to learn." Story and video chat w/the #Mariners closer which includes a great story of how he learned English, thoughts on the '26 season and the latest on his cat Matilda in the link below.

Not only was Matt Brash finally able to throw after a painful few days due to a cracked molar, but he feels better than he has at any point since '24 Tommy John surgery. @shannondrayer.bsky.social has that and a J.P. Crawford update in her #Mariners notebook. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

The sight on its own was great. The words after? Let's just say it was a great day to be covering the #Mariners.

The Mariners love the attack mentality of their two youngest pitchers in camp. What next for Anderson and Sloan.

Luke Raley was a bright spot while collecting two hits in the #Mariners' Cactus League opener. After injuries led to a challenging 2025 season, Raley went to work with a new focus over the winter, @shannondrayer.bsky.social reports. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Ferrer liking what he sees on his bullpen numbers.

Hi everybody!

Stop it! New Mariners infield candidate?

Good to see Garver back in camp. He worked well with Cal and also embraced the role of being the older vet in the clubhouse. Said it was Cal who encouraged him to give the Mariners a call and the deal was done in 24 hours.

Not sure about Munoz with the bat but hi Victor!

Quick run through Mariners photo day in the sun!

First day in camp. Tucker in prime form.

Plus some good news for the pen included in the post below.

Raleigh really goes into depth on the bat talk, left/right, torpedo etc. #Mariners schedule breakdown and packing a suitcase. Full conversation can be found in the video linked below.

We've seen some offense from the Mariners over the last week. 1st in wRC+, SB, 2nd in HR, WAR, wOBA, 3rd in runs scored, BB and 13th in K rate at 21.9.

Cal Raleigh hit his second home run of the spring today, a day after he took an old school route to find some more at-bats at spring training. @shannondrayer.bsky.social has that and more in a new #Mariners notebook. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

#Mariners reliever Matt Brash took another step forward in his rehab process on Sunday, @shannondrayer.bsky.social reports. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Cal Raleigh just walked in from Field 2 in Peoria in full uniform. Thought he would be long gone since he wasn't on the away game roster. Nope. Wanted to get some extra at bats. Got six of them in 2 minor league games.

It will not be a matter of just going with the platoon advantage. The Mariners plan for Jurrangelo Cijntje.

Ryan Sloan first batter. Pitch clock vio ball, 95 swing, 97 swing, slider swing. K.

Cijnteje was up to 98.9 from the right side. Hollander on broadcast said the working plan is to start him primarily as a RHP who may or may not go through a pocket of righties 1 time as a LHP. Will throw a RH bullpen on his side day, then pitch in relief as a LHP.

Talented shortstop Felnin Celesten, one of the many #Mariners ranked as a top 100 prospect by Baseball America, had a tough 2024 but gets a chance to shine in tonight's Spring Breakout game. Get to know Celesten with this profile by @shannondrayer.bsky.social. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Mariners Breakout game underway in Goodyear. Farm director Justin Toole on the radio broadcast said Tai Peete will see most of his time in CF to start the season. Not ruling out the infield, but will focus on the OF to start.

#Mariners spring training is here, and there are five things insider @shannondrayer.bsky.social is especially keeping a close eye on in Arizona. She details each of them in-depth here. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Dipoto with media said Brash should be ready to go for spring training. Best case scenario, a return 3rd week in April but acknowledged things can happen once rehabbing players start throwing in (spring) games. Troy Taylor suffered a lat strain last week, will go slow with him.

New #Mariners Notebook: Seattle has announced its non-roster invitees for spring training. @shannondrayer.bsky.social has full details on that, a memorable former player returning to the organization in a coaching role, and much more. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

Years ago I asked Ichiro the 5 people living or dead invite to dinner question. "That's a lot of people!" he said before listing Picasso, George Sisler, Beethoven, Franz Schubert and "If he knew how to speak human,' his dog Ikkyu. "So I could ask him what he was thinking all the time." #IchiroHOF

Good morning, and Happy Ichiro Hall of Fame Day. One post cannot come close to putting a dent in attempting to share what it was like to cover Ichiro while with the #Mariners, but below is a start. Hopping on Brock and Salk on Seattle Sports at 7:30 to discuss. So many stories!

On Tuesday, the Baseball Hall of Fame announcement is expected to include #Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki. M's insider @shannondrayer.bsky.social details Ichiro's remarkable, improbable journey that is destined for Cooperstown. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

There's great interest in seeing what percentage of the vote Felix Hernandez gets when the HOF ballot results are announced. The fascinating case for the longtime #Mariners ace will be at the forefront for pitchers of his era. Via @shannondrayer.bsky.social. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

With the offseason giving him a chance to slow down a bit, it was good to catch up with Dan Wilson in a longer conversation and hear a little bit more about his vision for the team.

Dipoto also noted they have been "very aggressive" in talking with other teams about trades that include the upper end of the M's prospect system. Listed Locklear and Cole Young as "ready to go," and said 3B Ben Williamson would likely start at AAA.

Jerry Dipoto on @mlbnetworkradio.bsky.social said they have received a lot of hits on their pitching but have "been resistant to even engaging in discussion" on trade talks with the #Mariners young starters which include Gilbert, Kirby, Miller and Woo.

Once again, 3,645 uniform combos, all ugly.
