Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
The Seattle Mariners looked like they were finally building something special.
In 2021, they shocked baseball with 90 wins.
In 2022, Cal Raleigh's walk-off home run finally ended a 21-year postseason drought.
In 2023 and 2024, they came painfully close to October again.
And then in 2025, everything finally came together. Seattle won the AL West, reached Game 7 of the ALCS, and came just eight outs away from the first World Series appearance in franchise history.
It felt like the Mariners had officially arrived.
Then 2026 happened.
In this episode of High Heat with Cheddar, I go through the entire Mariners story from 2021 through 2026 — how Seattle went from one of baseball's most exciting young teams to a legitimate World Series contender... and why this season has been such a massive disappointment.
We’re talking about the expectations that grew around this core, the frustrating near-misses, the incredible 2025 run, what went wrong in 2026, and the bigger question facing Seattle now:
Did the Mariners waste their best opportunity to win?
