Steve Covino criticizes Randy Arozarena for cheering Rays in ALCS

Los Angeles radio host Steve Covino criticized Randy Arozarena for attending the ALCS and supporting the Tampa Bay Rays, his former team, as the Seattle Mariners missed the postseason. The Mariners finished the 2026 season with a losing record, including a historic defeat, and ended their season on September 27. Arozarena's presence at the Game 6 victory against the Cleveland Guardians drew ire from Covino, who expressed that Arozarena should be embarrassed for being a spectator instead of playing in the postseason. Covino also commented on Arozarena’s interaction with Rays players, questioning his conduct while still under contract with Seattle. Arozarena's contract expires after the World Series, raising questions about his future with the Mariners.
