The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-dan-wilson-hasnt-stopped-thinking-about-game-7-bullpen-decisions">Mariners will now look toward the offseason</a> and find ways to get better, including Bryce Miller. The starting pitcher was on the injured list several times this past season because of elbow inflammation, but he is <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/mariners-starting-pitchers-optimistic-about-healthy-offseason-after-injured-riddled-year/" rel="noopener">expected to avoid surgery</a>, according to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times.</p><p>“The season didn’t go, personally, anywhere near how I wanted it to,” Miller said. “But I finished the year the best I felt all year — three good starts, I felt like. My body and my arm feel good, so just get better, get fully healthy and be ready to go from Day 1 next year.”</p><p>Miller had a bone spur in his elbow and received a PRP injection in June. He has an appointment to determine what he’ll have to do as far as treatment, but it looks like he’ll have a gel cortisone injection this offseason, and then get another one at the start of spring training.</p><p>“Now that we know how to deal with the bone spur, we can figure out what we need to do exactly with it and go from there,” Miller said.</p><p>Miller slogged through the first two months of this season, which is when the bone spur was diagnosed. He had a breakout year last season, ranking among the American League leaders with a 2.94 ERA and 180.1 innings over 31 starts. This season, his ERA nearly doubled (5.68), and his innings (90.1) were cut.</p><p>He bounced back in the playoffs with three starts, as he posted a 1.88 ERA.</p><p>“It felt really good,” Miller said. “Just to end on a positive note, personally, is good after how up and down the year was for me.”</p><p>Hopefully, Miller can keep that level of play going into next season and he recovers well from his elbow injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After averaging 16 home runs and 89 RBIs over a 162-game span during his five-year tenure in Philadelphia, the 29-year-old has essentially plateaued as a slightly above-average player. With premium free agents like Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette available to upgrade the hot corner, trading Bohm—who has one year of team control remaining—makes strategic sense for a Phillies organization looking to retool their roster.​</p><p>Multiple MLB executives believe Philadelphia will finally pull the trigger on dealing Bohm after holding onto him through previous trade deadlines. The former All-Star’s value has dipped following a regression in 2025, when he batted .287 with just 11 home runs and 59 RBIs across 120 games—a significant drop from his 2024 campaign. However, his team control through 2026 and proven ability to produce consistent offensive numbers still make him an attractive target for teams seeking third base help without breaking the bank.​</p><h2>Los Angeles Angels: Perfect Fit for Both Sides</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Bohm-swings_8b1e6f.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Angels have been explicitly named as Bohm’s best trade fit by industry insiders, and the reasoning is straightforward. Los Angeles hasn’t had a player log 100 games at third base since Yunel Escobar in 2016, and they’ve invested nearly $300 million in failed solutions at the position over the past decade. With both Yoán Moncada and Luis Rengifo becoming free agents after 2025, the Angels desperately need a reliable third baseman for 2026.​</p><p>Bohm would provide immediate offensive stability while the Angels’ top prospect Denzer Guzman continues developing in the minor leagues. The 29-year-old’s contact-oriented approach and ability to drive in runs would complement an Angels lineup that needs consistency more than pure power. Los Angeles also has financial flexibility with approximately $45-50 million available to spend this offseason, making Bohm’s projected $10.25 million arbitration salary easily manageable.​</p><p><b>Trade Package:</b></p><p><b>Phillies receive</b>:</p><ul><li>OF Taylor Ward</li></ul><p><b>Angels receive</b>:</p><ul><li>3B Alec Bohm</li></ul><p>This trade addresses needs for both organizations. Ward gives Philadelphia a .275 career hitter with 20-home run power and outfield versatility, helping replace potential departures while adding a player with one year of team control. The Angels get their third baseman while adding organizational depth in Arias, a toolsy outfield prospect who could develop into a valuable asset.​</p><h2>Seattle Mariners: Filling the Eugenio Suárez Void</h2><p>The Mariners face a significant decision at third base with Eugenio Suárez expected to depart in free agency after his heroic postseason performance. While Seattle has top prospect Colt Emerson developing as their long-term solution, the organization appears reluctant to rush him to the majors in 2026. Bohm represents an ideal bridge option—a productive veteran who can handle everyday duties without requiring a long-term commitment.​</p><p>Seattle’s anemic offense at third base posted just a .687 OPS during the 2025 season, and the Mariners desperately need consistent run production to support their elite pitching staff. Bohm’s ability to hit for average and drive in runs fits perfectly in a lineup that struggles with contact and situational hitting. His projected salary also aligns with Seattle’s measured approach to spending, allowing them to allocate resources elsewhere.​</p><p><b>Trade Package:</b></p><p><b>Phillies receive</b>:</p><ul><li>RHP Bryce Miller</li><li>RHP prospect Michael Morales</li></ul><p><b>Mariners receive</b>:</p><ul><li>3B Alec Bohm</li></ul><p>This blockbuster addresses Philadelphia’s need for a young, controllable starting pitcher while giving Seattle their third baseman. Miller, 27, posted a 5.68 ERA with 74 strikeouts across 18 starts in 2025 and has three years of team control remaining. Morales, Seattle’s No. 4 prospect, adds another high-upside arm to the Phillies’ system. The Mariners receive Bohm as their everyday third baseman.</p><h2>Detroit Tigers: Upgrading the Hot Corner</h2><p>The Tigers desperately need a third base upgrade after Zach McKinstry’s surprising 2025 All-Star season proved to be an outlier rather than a trend. McKinstry struggled mightily down the stretch and was nearly invisible during Detroit’s playoff run, exposing the position as a critical weakness. With the Tigers looking to build on their unexpected postseason appearance and challenge for the AL Central title, adding a proven run producer like Bohm makes perfect sense.​</p><p>Detroit’s front office has shown willingness to make bold moves, as evidenced by their aggressive pursuit of talent at previous trade deadlines. Bohm’s left-handed bat would provide balance to a Tigers lineup that needs consistent offensive production beyond their young core. His contact skills and ability to drive the ball to all fields would play well at Comerica Park, and his defensive improvements at third base have made him a serviceable option at the position.​</p><p><b>Trade Package:</b></p><p>Phillies receive:</p><ul><li>3B Jace Jung</li></ul><p>Tigers receive:</p><ul><li>3B Alec Bohm</li></ul><p>This straightforward swap allows the Tigers to win now while giving Philadelphia a young infielder with upside. Jung, 24, struggled in limited MLB action during 2025 but remains one of Detroit’s top prospects with a patient approach and gap power. The Tigers get their everyday third baseman without surrendering their elite prospects, allowing them to remain competitive in 2026 while maintaining flexibility for future moves.​</p><p>All three destinations offer Bohm the fresh start that could reignite his career while addressing specific organizational needs. The Angels provide the most logical fit given their glaring hole at third base and willingness to take on his salary. The Mariners offer the most competitive situation with their strong pitching staff and playoff aspirations. The Tigers present an opportunity to be a key piece on a rising contender. For the Phillies, any of these trades would return valuable assets while clearing the path for either a free agent upgrade or internal development at the hot corner.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While some might question Wilson’s choices in Game 7, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-dan-wilson-logan-gilbert-alcs-game-6">specifically his pitching decisions</a>, DiPoto gave him the benefit of the doubt.</p><p>“It’s hard to be a manager, and it’s hard to make those decisions in real time, and we do the best we can to collaborate with Dan and (the coaching) staff and give them a menu of different thoughts and options,” Dipoto said. “And I’ll never begrudge him for making a move he believed in and trusted.”</p><p>Additionally, Dipoto defended Wilson’s use of Bryan Woo, George Kirby, and Eduard Bazardo during the playoffs. It was Bazardo who gave up the pitch to George Springer who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-news-george-springer-game-7-home-run-history">hit the game winning home run</a> in Game 7.</p><p>“We could paint it a million different ways,” Dipoto said. “But you had had one of the best pitchers in baseball (George Kirby) hand the ball to another of the best pitchers in baseball (Bryan Woo) hand it to a guy (Bazardo) who has been a ‘pivot’ star for us for months, and the fact that he gave up a home run is just going to be a piece of history that we’re going to have to live with.”</p><h2><b>A full circle moment for Dan Wilson and the Mariners</b></h2><p>Despite the defeat, Wilson led the Mariners back to prominence. Also, it was thirty years after Wilson and company helped save baseball in Seattle.</p><p>In 1995, Wilson was the catcher for the Mariners when they made an improbable run to the ALCS. That year, they came back from 13.5 games behind the California Angels to win the AL West. Then, the Mariners came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the New York Yankees in the ALDS, thanks to Edgar Martinez and his game winning double.</p><p>In the ALCS, they lost to the then Cleveland Indians. Fast forward to 2025 and Wilson as manager propelled his team into a contender.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He gave up just nine home runs. He surrendered 1.03 home runs per nine innings pitched, which is 26th among all relievers <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?month=0&amp;pos=all&amp;type=1&amp;stats=rel&amp;sortcol=5&amp;sortdir=default&amp;qual=70" rel="noopener">who pitched at least 70.0 innings</a>.</p><p>However, he allowed three home runs in the 2025 postseason, none bigger than the one that Springer sent 381 feet into the air to drive in three runs in the seventh inning.</p><p>“I never lost one game all season, and today, the most important game, I lost the game,” Bazardo said after the loss to the Blue Jays, per Tyler Kepner of The Athletic. “It’s a little incredible, that part.”</p><p>Before Bazardo took to the mound, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-most-to-blame-for-blowing-alcs-vs-blue-jays">George Kirby pitched for four innings</a> and allowed a run on four hits through four innings of work.

Bazardo picked up the pitching loss and will perhaps be forever remembered as the October Zero to Springer’s October Hero.</p><p>After Seattle’s loss, there has been a lot of second-guessing going around in the baseball world on Mariners manager Dan Wilson’s decision to go with Bazardo instead of going straight to Andrez Munoz, who had two saves in the 2025 MLB postseason.

After winning the first two games in hostile territory, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-message-2-0-alcs-lead-keep-seattle-locked-in">it felt like the Mariners was finally ready to make their first-ever World Series appearance</a>. Yet the dream vanished almost overnight. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-dan-wilson-tough-ending-alcs">Blue Jays stormed back to win four of the next five games</a>, and the turning point came when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-george-kirby-tough-admission-game-3-blue-jays">George Kirby and the Mariners completely lost control in Game 3</a>. That one disaster flipped the entire ALCS against the Mariners.</p><p>Mariners fans expected dominance from George Kirby, but instead got chaos. In Game 3, Kirby gave up eight runs in just four innings, allowing the Blue Jays to hit three home runs and seize back momentum. What had been a confident Mariners squad instantly looked shaken. His fastball missed spots, his command disappeared, and every mistake turned into damage. For a pitcher trusted to be the anchor of Seattle’s rotation, Kirby’s collapse was catastrophic. It not only cost the team a home win, but it also shattered their psychological edge.</p><p>The Mariners never fully recovered. Game 4’s struggles piled on and erased any remaining confidence Seattle had. When the series returned to Toronto, the Blue Jays were the ones brimming with belief. In Game 7, George Kirby <a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1980450638049018306" rel="noopener">bounced back</a> with a strong start, keeping Seattle in control early and giving them a 3-1 lead. However, the bullpen once again faltered. They couldn’t hold that advantage before George Springer crushed a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh. But by then, the damage had already been done. The tone of the entire series had changed back in Seattle, when Kirby lost control of the narrative.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">George Kirby held the Blue Jays to one run in his four innings of work tonight 💪</p><p>4 IP | 4 H | 1 R | 1 BB | 3 K <a href="https://t.co/bHKM2YgfMV">pic.twitter.com/bHKM2YgfMV</a></p><p>— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1980450638049018306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 21, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Yes, other Mariners share part of the blame, the bullpen melted, the lineup cooled, and the coaching staff failed to adjust. But make no mistake: Game 3 was the pivot point. For a team that prided itself on resilience and pitching depth, it was their supposed ace who opened the door for Toronto. George Kirby’s meltdown will linger as one of the most painful moments in Mariners postseason history.</p><p>Seattle’s collapse wasn’t just about losing a lead. It was about losing belief, one bad inning at a time. And for that, George Kirby stands as the face of a heartbreaking ALCS defeat for the Mariners.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was a great team effort. I love every guy in this room but ultimately it’s not what we wanted,” Raleigh said when asked to sum up his team’s year. “I hate to use the word failure, but it’s a failure. We expected to get to the World Series and win the World Series and that’s what the bar is and what the standard is and it’s what we want to hold ourselves accountable to but yeah, it hurts. But I don’t want that to take away—like I said I’m proud of the guys in the room, I thought we fought all the way to the end and like I said I think it’s a great group of guys and I love every single one of them.”</p><p>At the same time, Mariners manager Dan Wilson <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-dan-wilson-tough-ending-alcs">referred to the defeat as “tough to swallow”</a>.</p><p>Seattle finished the year at 90-72 and made it to their first ALCS since 2001.</p><h2><b>Cal Raleigh didn’t fail as an individual</b></h2><p>As for Raleigh, he had one of his best seasons.

In the third, fourth, and fifth innings, Seattle grounded into double plays — two of them with the bases loaded — marking the first time in postseason history that a team hit into <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46655621/guerrero-yesavage-shine-blue-jays-win-force-game-7" rel="noopener">back-to-back double plays</a> with the bags full. Yesavage became just the third pitcher ever to induce three straight inning-ending double plays in the playoffs, joining Chris Carpenter (2005) and Tom Glavine (1995). Not bad company for someone who was pitching in the Florida State League just five months ago.</p><p>“He’s answering the bell,” veteran pitcher Max Scherzer said. “You either have it in October or you don’t — and he’s showing he does.”</p><h2><b>Trey Yesavage dominates, forces a Game 7 in Toronto</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Trey-Yesavage_1a796f.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yesavage leaned heavily on his devastating splitter, throwing it 31 times and generating 10 whiffs. When paired with his mid-90s fastball, it left the Mariners guessing all night. “When he’s locating his fastball, that splitter’s untouchable,” said closer Jeff Hoffman. “He can just splitter everybody to death.”</p><p>The right-hander’s meteoric rise through Toronto’s system this season <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/10/20/trey-yesavage-blue-jays-mariners-game-6/" rel="noopener">has stunned even his teammates</a>. Drafted just last year, he started 2025 in Single-A before rapidly climbing through the minors to make his MLB debut in mid-September. In just over a month, he’s gone from minor-league prospect to postseason sensation.</p><p>“The ceiling on that guy is crazy,” said Kevin Gausman. “I couldn’t have made that start when I was 22.”</p><p>After Seattle tagged him for five runs in Game 2, Yesavage showed no nerves in the rematch. He embraced the moment — covering first base with calm confidence on a crucial 3-6-1 double play started by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who also went deep later in the game to seal Toronto’s win.</p><p>With the Blue Jays now one win away from their first World Series since 1993, Yesavage’s poise has inspired belief throughout the clubhouse. “It can go either way in the postseason,” Scherzer said. “You can either pitch in this environment, or you can’t.

They blew a 3-2 ALCS lead over the Toronto Blue Jays, with the Mariners relinquishing a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning after George Springer, the former Houston Astros star, came back to haunt them once again, this time with a three-run home run that sent Rogers Centre into a frenzy.</p><p>As if everything that could have gone wrong for the Mariners did go wrong. They seemed to be hitting all the right buttons heading into that pivotal seventh inning, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-julio-rodriguez-joins-mickey-mantle-club-with-game-7-hr">Julio Rodriguez scoring the first two runs</a> of the ballgame and Cal Raleigh continuing his historic campaign with yet another home run to push their lead to 3-1.</p><p>But all that hard work was undone with one swing from Springer off of Eduard Bazardo, whom the Mariners chose to deploy at the highest-leverage situation instead of going to closer Andres Munoz immediately.</p><h2>Mariners fans lose it on social media</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dan-Wilson.jpg"><figcaption>Steven Bisig-Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>It did not help matters whatsoever for the Mariners that they seemed to lose the plot at the plate after Springer turned the momentum in the Blue Jays’ favor. Randy Arozarena grounded out on the first pitch, JP Crawford hit a weak ground ball towards shortstop, and Eugenio Suarez was a bit hard done by a breaking ball that just clipped the inside part of the zone.</p><p>In the ninth inning, Jeff Hoffman mowed the Mariners down, striking out the side — with Rodriguez flailing at a slider off the plate with the count full. All that’s left for the Mariners fanbase is to mourn everything that happened.</p><p>“That Bazardo move was next level idiot s**t.
