The skies may still be cloudy in Seattle, but the promise of summer nights spent at the ballpark is whispering on the wind. Tonight the Mariners return to T-Mobile Park to kick off the 2025 season against the Oakland Athletics. Understandably, we know many fans looked at the Mariners’ inactive off-season, fresh off missing the playoffs for the second year in a row after the excitement of Cal Raleigh’s drought-busting homer, and decided to check out for the winter. Trust us, we get it. But beyond the general excitement of baseball beginning anew and the promise of warm summer nights that brings, the Mariners have reversed course on their lousy off-season with a few big swings that make it easier to feel warmly about the squad suiting up this Thursday.
