Not an original idea. Forgot the originator. (I’m sorry!). But it’s a fun nugget, so I’m sharing it. Most NFL receiving yds after hitting age-40. There are 66 players with zero yds between Mercedes Lewis and Brett Favre. Jerry Rice’s final 362 yds were with the #Seahawks.

#Seahawks had a point differential of three vs the Rams in three games. 88 points for 85 points allowed

I’m resharing my tribute to Mrs A’s #Seahawks fandom from last year. We actually have more things in common than what divides us. #Believe #StandUpToCancer #GoHawks mylifewithcarrie.substack.com/p/carrie-the...

This piece written right after the ALCS is worth revisiting, IMO. Yes, there’s still time for the #Mariners to make meaningful acquisitions. But to date, the team’s splashiest move has been re-signing one of its own free agents.

Thoughts on how Nico Hoerner could help the #Mariners. I know, that’s a picture of Ian Happ.

Apparently, a photo of Ian Happ was used in my Nico Hoerner piece. My editor has been disciplined for the gaffe. #Mariners

Good morning! My thoughts on how Nico Hoerner could help the #Mariners.

My thoughts on Nico Hoerner. An excellent alternative to Brendan Donovan, assuming Donovan doesn't end up with the #Mariners.

Don’t agree with Demond Williams’ decision to leave UW. But he turns 20 in March. The grown-ass men, particularly those in the media, harshly criticizing his choice should remember this. I mean, how sound was your judgement at 19?

Did you know: there have been many, seasons where 60+ active players eventually made HOF? Even with a fraction of the teams we have now? Not defending all choices within. Vets Committees went *nuts* for a while. But if you're saying "it's too big" now, no. www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tin...

In honor of Julio Rodriguez’s birthday, here’s some bonkers stats so far in his career - 11th all-time in Mariners career bWAR (22.9) - 12th all-time in bWAR through four seasons (credit @lukearkins.bsky.social) - 6th all-time in wRC+ by a Mariner Which is the most impressive?

Happy 25th Birthday to Julio Rodríguez! Highest bWAR accrued by a player in their first four seasons since baseball integrated in 1947… #Mariners

Happy Christmas Eve Eve for those who celebrate. #Mariners

Good morning! The #Mariners signed veteran Rob Refsnyder yesterday. My thoughts…

Someone just complained to me about the amount of money the #Mariners are paying Rob Refsnyder next year.

The #Mariners signing Rob Refsnyder today may not seem like big news. But hey, the Hot Stove has cooled of late. So, let’s consider what Refsnyder's presence may mean for the M's in 2026.

#Mariners potentially interested in re-signing Eugenio Suárez? My previous thoughts regarding Geno returning to Seattle… www.mariners-consigliere.com/p/what-about...

The notion of the #Mariners trading a top pitching prospect for a position player with two years of club control remaining, who is viewed by some as a utility-man, is crazy talk. Pro tip: The “utility-man” comment isn’t the key descriptor. Some folks over at the other site are struggling with this.

Final Jorge Polanco numbers thread as he departs the pattern leaving the #Mariners behind. First, Polanco was one of the most improved hitters in 2025. Across the board, his stats were significantly better than the season prior. 1/8

#GoNavy #FlyNavy

Good luck to Jorge Polanco! I’m happy for him. But… As I noted last month, signing Polanco this offseason would require accepting inherent risk. Apparently, the #Mariners didn’t want to accept those risks at the price tag the Mets paid.

I’m not necessarily advocating the #Mariners bringing back Eugenio Suárez in 2026. This assessment of Geno from a month ago covers the good stuff and the blemishes in a fair manner.

Eugenio Suárez and Nolan Arenado in 2025 Plus... Ben Williamson and Nolan Arenado in 2025. #Mariners

Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez in 2025. #Mariners

#Mariners home runs lost to free agency. Jorge Polanco (26) Eugenio Suárez (13) Mitch Garver (9) Total (48)

Mitch Garver & Jonah Heim in 2025. Garver's numbers were better than Heim's. Both were below average. Heim rates as a better defender. But both were below average. Heim is younger. Garver is a known quantity to the org and the pitching staff. #Mariners

Wrote this last month about Jorge Polanco. It still applies. Even more so now as the #Mariners and other clubs pursue him.

Had the pleasure of talking #Mariners baseball with Brian Solack and Abraham DeWeese of the Seattle Sports Union late last week. I’m grateful for the guys giving me a chance to talk about Mrs A and a girl named Bug. youtu.be/ZMxS7ptU89w?...

Good morning! I review five second basemen recently connected to the #Mariners in trade speculation. Based on what I think I know about the M’s, only one makes sense to me.

Good Morning! Washington's infield defense negatively impacted Jose A. Ferrer's conventional stats (ERA, AVG, OBP) in a meaningful way. My analysis of this issue and everything else regarding the newest #Mariners reliever…

Did Washington's suboptimal infield defense help inflate Jose A. Ferrer's conventional stats? I believe the answer is yes. #Mariners www.mariners-consigliere.com/p/mariners-b...

Working on piece about potential #Mariners infield trade targets. If you had a vote in the process, who would you want the M's to add via trade to play second base and/or third base in 2026?

Good morning! If the #Mariners were interested in acquiring an outfielder via trade, here are four interesting names to consider. At least, I think they’re interesting…

My latest: Four intriguing outfield trade targets for the #Mariners.

Perhaps the #Mariners are content with their stable of outfielders. But if the team wanted to upgrade, here are four cherry-picked names worth discussing.

I realize sacks aren’t an absolute stat when it comes to assessing a defensive line. But… In just 12 games, this year’s #Seahawks defense has more sacks than 30 previous SEA teams. Only 18 have more. That seems pretty, pretty, pretty good. Okay, back to #Mariners stuff.

Yesterday’s game was the 20th time the #Seahawks have blanked an opponent in a regular season game and their first shutout since 2015. Coincidentally, the 2015 game vs CHI had the same 26-0 score. 1/3

I assume you’re referring to the #Mariners. I don’t know where the WS trophies are. Then again, three of the six teams ahead of the M’s and the two clubs just behind SEA with a similar winning% didn’t win the WS either. I don’t know where their trophies are either. Have a great Sunday!

Wins since the beginning of the 2021 season. #Mariners

I struggle to see how this trade benefits the Mets. Then again, it’s only November 23. Perhaps it’s the initial salvo in a series of moves.

The #Mariners currently don’t have enough starting pitching, IMO. Any trade proposal for Tarik Skubal requiring the M’s to deal one of their top starters (Kirby, Gilbert, Woo, Castillo, Woo) is short-sighted and a no-go for this nerd.

The #Mariners retaining Josh Naylor feels nice. But let’s not forget the current roster, even with Naylor back, isn’t as good as it was during Game 7 of the ACLS. It’s not. Good start. More is needed! Multiple bats, starting pitching, bullpen.

My thoughts from October regarding the #Mariners re-signing Josh Naylor.

I’ve used Mrs A’s newsletter to reflect on our love affair, her super-fandom, or how she loved being the best Auntie ever. But there’s another aspect of Carrie’s life worthy of mention - her profession.

Personal news: Today, a judge appointed me co-guardian of the wonderful young lady featured below. Mrs A would be pleased. Nothing changes with my baseball stuff, which is why most of you follow me. I just felt like sharing something positive going on in our world. Onward!

After today’s vote, Julio Rodríguez is one top-10 MVP finish away from hitting the next escalator in his contract…8 yrs/$260 million. He’s already at 8 yrs/$240 million. Of course, this assumes the #Mariners exercise the club option after the 2028 season. 👀

Good morning! My take on the most volatile part of the #Mariners roster in terms of annual turnover and on-field performance.

Business-driven attrition is a reason to reload with new relievers in the offseason. So is reversing the regression the #Mariners bullpen experienced this year.

Good morning! The #Mariners rotation was closer to league-average than the best in baseball. Can the starting staff rebound? Or, will its regression continue into 2026?
