The 2001 Seattle Mariners won 116 games — the greatest regular season in baseball history. They led the AL in offense, pitching, and defense simultaneously. And they went home in October without a pennant.
The 2025 Mariners went further in October than that 116-win team ever did — and still came up short.
So heading into 2026, with the highest expectations in franchise history, I wanted to answer one question honestly: are the 2026 Mariners actually comparable to the greatest teams this franchise has ever produced? And what would it take for them to be the best?
In this video I rank every great Mariners season in franchise history, break down the 2000, 2001, 2025, and 2026 rosters side by side — rotation, bullpen, lineup, and farm system — and give you the real verdict on what has to happen for this team to finally do something no Mariners team ever has.
Not the hype version. The real one.
