I don’t think the golden run’s over just yet. Hear me out

This could be a playoff bound team if our best pieces stay healthy and the organization seriously addresses the medial and coaching staff. The AAA players that were up to the task this season still give me something to look forward to in 2026.

2025 doesn't feel like a fair assessment of the team because of the compounded effects of injuries, dead money on the books, bad medicals and s**t coaching. I think we could all be more confident in saying the Astros' run is over if 2026 ends like this season did with a team that is consistently healthy. Let's be real, the AL West is still weak and it took a huge collapse for the Mariners to overtake the Astros. Rangers thought they were hot s**t after 23 and look where they are now. There's no assurance a team's success one season will carry over to the next. The Mariners can enjoy their accomplishment, the real question is if they can sustain it like the Astros did.

Recover, reflect and regroup. Let's just hope that everyone comes back healthy and ready to win in 2026.
