Our M’s went out and handled their business, securing a solid 7-2 victory over the Angels in the series finale. That’s a huge win to close out a series on the road. Now the boys get a much-needed off-day before they pack up and head to Denver. You know what that means: get ready for some bombs, because a “high-scoring affair” against the Rockies at Coors Field is pretty much guaranteed.
AquaSox MVP Shines Bright
While the big league club is grinding, our farm system is out here making moves too! Get this: Felnin Celesten just took home the 2026 Northwest League Most Valuable Player award after what can only be called a breakout season with the Everett AquaSox. This is exactly the kind of prospect news that gets you hyped for the future of the Emerald City nine. We’re talking hardware, baby! Seriously, a huge congrats to Felnin Celesten on that MVP trophy. But speaking of the AquaSox, there’s some real concern because Everett’s stadium project is hitting major hurdles, putting the team in danger of being lost. That cannot happen. We need to keep our minor league talent close to home!
M’s On The Road, Former M’s Shine Elsewhere
So the Mariners are off to Denver to face the Rockies, and you just know our bats are gonna be ready for that thin air. Meanwhile, around the league, some other wild stuff is happening. Padres top prospect Ethan Salas, a catcher, just made history by becoming the youngest backstop to hit two homers in a single MLB game. That’s a crazy feat for anyone, let alone a kid behind the plate. And big shouts out to some former M’s making noise! Justin Turner, who played for us, just snagged a Mexican League title with Los Toros de Tijuana. Good for him! Also, a massive congratulations to another former Mariner, Endy Chávez, who was inducted into the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026. He played 13 MLB seasons and put up a .298 average in 19 seasons in the Venezuelan Winter League. He’s going in alongside some legends like Francisco Rodríguez, who had 437 MLB saves, and Tomás Pérez.
The M’s are about to drop into Colorado, and you know they’re gonna be swinging for the fences. It’s time to build on that Angels win and keep the momentum rolling in what’s shaping up to be a wild finish to the regular season. Let’s go, Seattle!
