Gilbert, who needed only 29 pitches to retire the first nine hitters, was replaced by Casey Lawrence to begin the fourth inning.</p><p>Seattle’s announcement offered few details beyond the initial diagnosis. Gilbert, 27, told reporters postgame that he had felt some discomfort while warming up but hoped it would ease once he got into the flow of the game. “Sometimes you just get going and it feels a little better. Tonight, it just didn’t,” Gilbert said. He is scheduled to <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/04/logan-gilbert-exits-start-with-forearm-tightness.html" rel="noopener">undergo an MRI</a> to determine the extent of the injury.</p><p>Manager Dan Wilson didn’t provide much further clarity after the game. “We’ll know more tomorrow,” Wilson said. Given the delicate nature of forearm injuries in pitchers, the Mariners will understandably proceed with extreme caution.</p><h2><b>The Mariners ace might miss time</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Logan-Gilbert.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Before the early exit, Gilbert had continued to show why he’s been one of baseball’s most durable and consistent arms. Since making his debut in 2021, he had made 126 consecutive starts without an IL stint. He led Major League Baseball in innings pitched last season with 208.2 and entered Friday night leading the majors in strikeout rate at 38%. His fastball velocity Friday remained close to his season average, topping out at 95.4 mph compared to his usual 95.6.</p><p>The timing of Gilbert’s injury scare is brutal for Seattle. The Mariners are already without George Kirby, who has been sidelined since early March with shoulder inflammation but is beginning mound work again. Luis Castillo, Bryan Woo, and Bryce Miller have anchored the rotation so far, but depth has been tested with Emerson Hancock and Luis F. Castillo struggling in spot starts.</p><p>Despite Gilbert’s early brilliance, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/blue-jays-news-jose-berrios-explains-heated-moment-vs-mariners">the Mariners couldn’t hold the lead</a>. Dylan Moore provided an early spark with a solo home run off Cal Quantrill in the second inning, but a critical error by Moore in the fifth opened the floodgates for Miami. The Marlins scored six unearned runs in the inning and went on to hand Seattle an 8-4 defeat.</p><p>Gilbert entered the game with a 1-1 record and a 2.37 ERA through five starts, further establishing himself as one of the American League’s top arms. His early departure Friday cast a cloud over what had been another dominant performance.</p><p>Now, the Mariners will wait anxiously for results from Gilbert’s imaging. In a season where arm injuries have ravaged pitching staffs across baseball, Seattle will be hoping their ace avoided anything serious. With Kirby still weeks away from returning, losing Gilbert for an extended stretch would be a massive hurdle for a team hoping to stay in contention.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With a 12-10 record, the organization is just one game behind the first-place Texas Rangers.</p><p>But how good is Raleigh? Well, during a guest appearance on “Brock and Solk” for Seattle Sports, ESPN’s Jeff Passan makes the case that the Mariners star <a href="https://x.com/SeattleSports/status/1914752813462368412" rel="noopener">is the best catcher</a> in MLB.

He is arguably the best defensive catcher in the league, and his presence as a batter is helping the Mariners a ton. So far through 86 at-bats, Raleigh is recording a .244 batting average and .343 OBP while hitting nine home runs and 16 RBIs. His nine home runs are tied for the most in the league right now alongside Athletics first baseman Tyler Soderstrom.</p><p>He also has three stolen bases already, despite his career high being six in a single season. Between the reliable defense he brings as a catcher with his power at the plate, the Mariners have a true star in Raleigh. The Gold Glove winner is on pace for a career year, especially if he can maintain his home run count throughout the long MLB season.</p><p>Cal Raleigh and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/mariners-vs-red-sox-prediction-odds-pick-4-22-2025">Mariners aim to win their 13th game of the season</a> when they take on the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. It’s the first contest of a three-game series in Boston. The switch-hitting catcher is expected to bat third in the lineup. The game kicks off at 6:45 p.m. EST.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He had been pitching for the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, where he logged a 4.66 ERA across 9 2/3 innings. Despite the modest ERA, he showed flashes of the form that once made him one of the league’s most dependable left-handed relievers. In those appearances, he tallied 14 strikeouts, six walks, and two saves, promising figures for a veteran working his way back from significant injury setbacks.</p><p>The left-hander has not pitched in the majors since 2021 due to a series of arm issues that required multiple surgeries and extensive rehab. After undergoing flexor tendon surgery, followed by a prolonged recovery, Pomeranz missed both the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Still, his past track record suggests there’s a chance he can contribute meaningfully if healthy.</p><p>A former first-round pick out of Ole Miss, Pomeranz debuted in 2011 with the Colorado Rockies and went on to pitch for the Athletics, Red Sox, Padres, Brewers, and Giants.</p><p>Over an 11-year MLB career, Pomeranz holds a 48–58 record, 3.91 ERA, and 883 strikeouts across 858.1 innings. His career highlight came in 2016, when he earned an All-Star nod, followed by a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2018. More recently, he posted a 1.45 ERA in 20 games during the COVID-shortened 2020 season, and a 1.75 ERA in 27 appearances the following year with San Diego before injuries cut his momentum short.</p><p>Chicago’s bullpen—carrying a 5.19 ERA, among the worst in the National League—urgently needs a reliable left-handed option. Manager Craig Counsell is no stranger to Pomeranz, having managed him during a strong 2019 stint with the Brewers, where he posted a 2.39 ERA and struck out 45 batters in just 26.1 innings.</p><p>For Seattle, the trade clears a roster spot and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-rumors-what-mariners-told-luis-castillo-trade-suitor-despite-key-injuries">opens up opportunities for younger arms</a>.

The verbal spat between the two quickly escalated to a benches-clearing moment at Rogers Centre.</p><p>Berrios, who rarely shows outward emotion on the mound, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-torpedo-bat-regrets-scorching-start">let his feelings be known after Raleigh rounded third</a> on an inning-ending flyout. The pitcher walked off the field chirping in Raleigh’s direction, prompting both dugouts and bullpens to empty. Cooler heads prevailed, and no physical confrontation occurred, but the scene injected serious tension into what had already been a tight game.</p><p>“I don’t react that way very often,” Berrios said postgame. “I’m a quiet and chill guy. But when some people are trying to fight with us in the field, I don’t respect that. I don’t like that. I was trying to stand up for myself and my teammates.”</p><p>Berrios believed Raleigh was attempting to steal signs or tip pitches to his fellow Mariners. Whether the accusation holds any weight remains unclear, but it was enough to ignite the confrontation. Raleigh, for his part, didn’t deny Berrios’ frustration but maintained his innocence.</p><h2><b>Cal Raleigh defends his actions in Mariners win</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cal-Raleigh.jpg"><figcaption>Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“They thought I was relaying,” Raleigh said. “I wasn’t. If you look at the results, Rowdy [Tellez] was way off-balance. I didn’t have the pitches. But that’s just how it is. I’d want my pitchers doing the same thing if they thought someone was tipping.”</p><p>Raleigh added that he understood the emotional response in the heat of the moment, calling it “competitive baseball.” Blue Jays manager John Schneider echoed that sentiment, saying sign stealing and pitch tipping are part of the game.</p><p>“Teams do that. We get it,” Schneider said. “In the heat of the moment, you get a little fired up. I didn’t think the benches needed to clear. But I like when our guys are sticking up for themselves.”</p><p>Despite the brief fireworks, Raleigh went on to have a strong night at the plate. He finished 2-for-3 with three walks, including a go-ahead two-run double off Berrios in the fifth inning. His performance raised his slugging percentage to .580 and gave him 13 RBIs on the season.</p><p>Berrios gave the Blue Jays six solid innings, allowing three earned runs on four hits. But a seventh-inning homer from Ben Williamson tied the game and forced extra innings. Seattle eventually pulled away in the 12th, scoring five runs en route to an 8-4 victory. With tensions high and one game left in the series, all eyes will be on the finale Sunday. Whether this spark ignites something further remains to be seen, but for now, Raleigh’s bat continues doing the talking.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Let’s answer that question by picking out the best Mariners players of all time and examine why they ended up on this list.</p><h2><b>10. Jay Buhner</b></h2><p>Position: Right Field</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1988-2001</p><p>Notable Accolades: 1996 AL All-Star, 1996 Gold Glove winner</p><p>Jay Buhner wasn’t always a key piece of the Mariners during his 14 seasons with them, but he quietly became one of the best players in their history with a solid seven-season stretch midway through his career.</p><p>Buhner eventually found his way into the lineup on an everyday basis, and while he only made it to the All-Star Game once, his stretch from 1995-1997, in which he hit more than 40 home runs and drove in at least 109 runs in each season, was one of the best in Mariners history.</p><p>Buhner’s peak didn’t last long, but he was so good during that time that he ends up sneaking onto this list at No. 10.</p><h2><b>9. Robinson Cano</b></h2><p>Position: Second Base</p><p>Years with Mariners: 2014-2018</p><p>Notable Accolades: Three-time AL All-Star</p><p>Robinson Cano will likely be remembered more for outrageously expensive contract than what he actually did with the Mariners, but during his five season stretch in Seattle, Cano played some really good baseball. He traded contact for power and power for contact from time to time at the plate, but he was still easily Seattle’s best hitter every season he was with them.</p><p>Cano earned three of his eight All-Star berths with the Mariners, and finished in the Top 10 of the American League MVP race twice as well. Despite that, signs of his regression quickly set in, and the Marines traded him halfway through his 10-year deal to the New York Mets. Still, his time with the Marines was memorable, even if it ended on a fairly sour note.</p><h2><b>8. Jamie Moyer</b></h2><p>Position: Starting Pitcher</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1996-2006</p><p>Notable Accolades: 2003 AL All-Star</p><p>Jamie Moyer might have the most interesting career in the history of the MLB. He never really established himself in the MLB until well after his 30th birthday and ended up finding a consistent home with the Mariners in 1996. Moyer only had two losing seasons during his time with Seattle, which is rather impressive considering their history of losing.</p><p>Either way, Moyer was never the best pitcher, and he had some truly ugly seasons along the way, but he never gave up. Moyer earned his first and only All-Star berth in 2003 when he was 40 years old and finished in the top six of the AL Cy Young race three times. Moyer played in MLB until he was 49, but it was his years with Seattle that helped him establish his legacy.</p><h2><b>7. Kyle Seager</b></h2><p>Position: Third Base</p><p>Years with Mariners: 2011-2021</p><p>Notable Accolades: 2014 AL All-Star, 2014 Gold Glove winner</p><p>If nothing else, Kyle Seager was consistent throughout his career with the Mariners. Aside from his initial 53-game stint in the majors in 2011 and the shortened 2020 season, Seager hit at least 20 home runs every season. His production varied from time to time, but for the most part, the Mariners always knew what they were getting with Seager.</p><p>He doesn’t post gaudy numbers, but it never really mattered because he was the best player on some pretty bad Mariners teams. It’s a shame that Seager decided to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-seattle-third-baseman-kyle-seager-announces-retirement" rel="noopener">call it a career</a> right as Seattle was beginning to find some success, but it’s clear his career will always be appreciated by the Mariners.</p><h2><b>6. Alex Rodriguez</b></h2><p>Position: Shortstop and Third Base</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1994-2000</p><p>Notable Accolades: Four-time AL All-Star, Four-time Silver Slugger</p><p>Long before Alex Rodriguez went on to become a New York Yankees legend, he made his name with the Seattle Mariners as one of the brightest young stars in the game. Rodriguez truly broke out in 1996 when he hit .358 and finished second in the AL MVP race, and the rest is history.</p><p>Rodriguez hit at least 41 home runs in his final three seasons with the Mariners, and while he didn’t end up posting the huge numbers he had with the Texas Rangers and the Yankees, Rodriguez still did more than enough to cement his place as one of the greatest Mariners of all time despite his short stint there.</p><h2><b>5. Randy Johnson</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Randy-Johnson-makes-a-speech.jpg"><figcaption>Steven Bisig-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Position: Starting Pitcher</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1989-1998</p><p>Notable Accolades: 1995 AL CY Young, Five-time AL All-Star, Hall of Famer, No-hitter on June 2, 1990</p><p>The Mariners stumbled onto Johnson in 1989, and similar to Rodriguez, they got to watch a star be born, only to watch him reach new heights after he left them. Johnson got better with age, and over his time with the Mariners, he turned himself into the pitcher that eventually would win four straight Cy Young awards with the Arizona Diamondbacks.</p><p>Johnson won the Cy Young in 1995 for the M’s and finished in the Top 3 three times, showcasing early hints of his dominant stretch with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He cemented his Hall of Fame status with other MLB teams, but he managed to figure things out with Seattle and will still go down as one of the best pitchers in their history.</p><h2><b>4. Felix Hernandez</b></h2><p>Position: Starting Pitcher</p><p>Years with Mariners: 2005-2019</p><p>Notable Accolades: 2010 AL Cy Young, Six-time AL All-Star, Perfect game on Aug. 15, 2012</p><p>Felix Hernandez’s peak was somewhat short, but during his heyday, there wasn’t a better pitcher in the MLB than him. Hernandez would mow down hitters on a nightly basis for the Mariners, and from 2007 to 2015, he almost never missed a start. Hernandez won the AL Cy Young in 2010 with a wildly impressive campaign, and finished in the Top 10 of the voting on five other occasions.</p><p>His arm eventually wore down in his early 30s, but that’s what usually happens when you pitch more than 200 innings in eight straight seasons. That shouldn’t take away from everything that Hernandez accomplished, though, and he is easily the greatest pitcher in Mariners history.</p><h2><b>3. Ichiro Suzuki</b></h2><p>Position: Right Field</p><p>Years with Mariners: 2001-2012, 2018-2019</p><p>Notable Accolades: 2001 AL MVP, 2001 AL Rookie of the Year, 10-time AL All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner, Three-time Silver Slugger</p><p>Ichiro Suzuki’s peak, similar to Hernandez, didn’t last as long as other players, but he was one of the most captivating players in the league. In fact, if this was a list of most popular Mariners players, he would be higher on this list, if not No. 1.</p><p>Suzuki came over to the MLB in 2001 from Japan, and immediately won Rookie of the Year and MVP as he led the M’s to an MLB-tying 116 wins. Ichiro racked up more than 200 hits in 10 consecutive seasons to start his career with the Mariners, and he never truly stopped hitting the ball. In fact, he set the MLB record for most hits in a season with 262 in 2004.</p><p>Suzuki also was one of the best defensive outfielders in the game, stole more than 40 bases in five seasons, including in 2011 when he was 37 years old, and was constantly one of the top MVP candidates in the AL. Ichiro returned to Seattle to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ichiro-suzuki-announces-his-retirement-from-baseball" rel="noopener">end his career</a>, but his first 10-year stretch with the Mariners was one of the greatest in the history of the league.</p><h2><b>2. Edgar Martinez</b></h2><p>Position: Designated Hitter and Third Base</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1987-2004</p><p>Notable Accolades: Seven-time All-Star, Five-time Silver Slugger, Hall of Famer</p><p>Edgar Martinez was a late bloomer, as he didn’t really find a consistent role with the Mariners until 1990 when he was 27. But once he did, there was no stopping him. Martinez quickly cemented himself as one of the best all-around hitters in the game and put together quite the career at the plate for Seattle primarily as a designated hitter.</p><p>Martinez never won an MVP, but he can awfully close in 1995 when he hit .356 with 29 home runs and 113 runs batted in. Even when he wasn’t hitting, Martinez was always drawing walks, and he had five seasons where he had an OPS above 1.000, which is just absurd. Martinez rightfully earned a spot in the Hall of Fame, and he is easily one of the greatest Mariners players of all time.</p><h2><b>1. Ken Griffey Jr.</b></h2><p>Position: Centerfielder</p><p>Years with Mariners: 1989-1999, 2009-2010</p><p>Notable Accolades: 1997 AL MVP, 10-time AL All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner, Seven-time Silver Slugger, Hall of Famer</p><p>Was there any other choice than Ken Griffey Jr.? At the top of his game, Griffey was the most electric player in the game, whether it be his absolute rockets for home runs or his ridiculous defensive plays, there wasn’t a player more fun to watch than “The Kid.”</p><p>He could absolutely mash the baseball while hitting for average as well, and Griffy ended up winning the AL MVP award in 1997 when he hit .304 while hitting 56 home runs and driving in 147 runs.</p><p>Griffey’s destructive overall style of play did sap him of his abilities a bit earlier than expected, although that was the Cincinnati Reds problem more so than the Mariners. Either way, Griffey was simply spectacular during his peak with Seattle, and he easily earns the top spot on the greatest Mariners list.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is the logical trade chip for the Mariners because he is on a five-year, $108 million contract. The Mariners could get some offensive help in a trade involving Castillo along with some financial flexibility.

Trailing by five runs entering the eighth inning, the Mariners stunned the Houston Astros with a 7-6 comeback victory to earn their first series win of the 2025 season. Arozarena’s fingerprints were all over it, <a href="https://sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/randy-walk-off-seattle-mariners-over-astros-7-6/1806627" rel="noopener">including a thunderous grand slam</a> and a patient walk-off walk.</p><p>The chaos began in the bottom of the eighth, when three straight Mariners worked walks to load the bases. After two quick outs threatened to waste the opportunity, Arozarena stepped in and unloaded on a Steven Okert pitch, launching it 384 feet at 107.2 mph to left field for a grand slam. The blast — which carried a 6.4-second hang time — cut Houston’s lead to just one, igniting the crowd at T-Mobile Park.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Randy Arozarena, grand slam — and it keeps the Mariners alive here in the bottom of the 8th inning</p><p>Exit velo: 107.2 mph<br>Launch angle: 35°<br>Distance: 384 ft.<br>Hang time: 6.4 seconds <a href="https://t.co/5aH50hHqXw">pic.twitter.com/5aH50hHqXw</a></p><p>— Daniel Kramer (@DKramer_) <a href="https://twitter.com/DKramer_/status/1910103909584244781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Astros added an insurance run in the ninth, but Seattle wasn’t done. Donovan Solano and Miles Mastrobuoni got things going with back-to-back singles, and a fielder’s choice — reversed after a successful challenge — gave the Mariners another bases-loaded shot.</p><h2><b>The Mariners come back to walk off the Astros</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Randy-Arozarena.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Julio Rodríguez delivered the big swing, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mariners-news-mariners-victor-robles-painful-injury-possible-catch-year-giants">ripping a two-run double to right field</a> to tie the game 6-6. Mitch Garver then walked to reload the bases, and though Cal Raleigh grounded into a force out at home, it set the stage for Arozarena one final time.</p><p>With two outs and the game on the line, Arozarena worked a full count against Astros reliever Bryan Abreu. On the sixth pitch of the at-bat, Abreu missed high, and Arozarena drew a walk-off walk to end it — a slow jog to first and a shower of celebration at home plate.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">A walk-off walk for Randy Arozarena and the <a href="https://twitter.com/Mariners?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Mariners</a>! <a href="https://t.co/9mpoDalCrW">pic.twitter.com/9mpoDalCrW</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1910112119468466274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The win moves Seattle to 5-8 on the season and provides a much-needed jolt after a slow start.
