Seattle Mariners eliminated from playoff contention, facing disappointing season
Summary

The Seattle Mariners were eliminated from playoff contention as of September 24, 2026, marking a significant downturn after their recent postseason successes. After advancing to the ALCS in 2025, the team struggled this season, hindered by a severe decline in performance from catcher Cal Raleigh and a once-reliable pitching rotation that faltered. Manager Dan Wilson faced criticism for his decisions, and the team's defense ranked among the worst in the league. With high expectations at the start of the season, the Mariners now need to reassess their strategy moving forward.
