12 minutes of stoppage time, MLS is so back

FINAL: Mariners take their spring training opener, 7-4 over the Padres.

Leo Rivas checks in with a solo blast to right! Mariners have a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Connor Joe shoots a single through the right side to drive in two runs. Mariners reclaim the lead, 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh.

Alex Hoppe allows a two-run homer to José Miranda. Mariners and Padres tied 3-3 in the seventh.

The fact that Arroyo is (probably) not one of the three best prospects in the Seattle system is absolutely bonkers. System is still loaded.

Laz Montes will hit for Julio in the fifth, facing Mason Miller.

Josh Naylor drops in bloop single of his own with two outs in the third, Farmelo scores from second. Mariners lead 3-0.

Luke Raley dumps a bloop single into no man’s land in right center. He begins spring training 2-for-2 before his day comes to an end. Jonny Farmelo pinch-runs for him.

Cooper Criswell sets down the top the Padres lineup in order in the third. He struck out both Jackson Merrill and Manny Machado.

Michael Arroyo hits an opposite-field, two-run homer to score the Mariners’ first runs of the spring. 2-0 at the end of two.

Josh Naylor grounds into a double play and the Padres work out of trouble in the first.

Not the worst scorebug ever but certainly not my favorite. Feels like it’s trying to do too much. Just my opinion, though.

Luke Raley laces a single back up the middle to open up his spring. Would loooooove to see more of that this year.

Eventful opening for the Mariners in spring training. Dunning allows a couple of baserunners and Raleigh loses his first ABS challenge, but the M’s work out of trouble as Canzone makes a diving catch in right to leave the runners stranded.

Good morning. The Mariners play a baseball game today.

Per Jeff Passan, the #Mariners and Mitch Garver are in agreement on a minor league deal.

It’s a good thing the first spring training game is Friday because I’m not sure I’d make it much longer after watching this.

INF/OF Brendan Donovan will wear number 33. Last worn on the field by C Seby Zavala in 2024. Hitting coach Kevin Seitzer switches from number 33 to number 28. #Mariners

The Mariners announced RHP Jackson Kowar has been claimed off waivers by the Minnesota Twins.

The Mariners have officially announced the acquisition of INF/OF Brendan Donovan.

Sad to see ‘em go, but you do this every day of the week if you’re the Mariners. They have the track record to replenish what they lost, while also retaining their very best prospects. I can hardly imagine a better fit for their roster on paper. You make this trade when you’re trying to win now.

The Mariners are indeed getting Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a three-team trade that will include third baseman Ben Williamson going to the Rays and pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje going from Seattle to St. Louis, according to a source.

Leave it to Cal Raleigh to bring together lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.

Wishing Ben Williamson the best. Held down the fort at third base in a time of need last year. Was probably was never seen as a long term solution in Seattle, but his contributions are appreciated nonetheless. His name will forever be part of the story of the 2025 team.

…or coming hours, I suppose. 🤭

Mariners close to acquiring Brendan Donovan, per Katie Woo (@katiejwoo.bluesky.social) of The Athletic.

The Mariners are out of options in the infield. Their hopes of adding likely depend on the Cardinals’ willingness to deal Brendan Donovan in the coming days.
