Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh expressed his frustration over coming up short of the playoffs and the trade of Paul Sewald to Arizona along with hopes the team will show a commitment to winning in offseason ahead after playoff elimination.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 12: Cal Raleigh #29 of the Seattle Mariners looks on against the Los Angeles Angels at T-Mobile Park on September 12, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. With the reality of missing the postseason still extremely fresh in the minds of the players in theclubhouse just minutes after a Houston Astros victory officially ended their playoff hopes, catcher Cal Raleigh was frustrated on multiple levels by the team coming up short of a return trip to the playoffs.
But while many players on the Mariners made their exits from the clubhouse, Raleigh stuck it out to lament the disappointment of the season with assembled reporters. Raleigh lamented the trade of closer Paul Sewald to the Diamondbacks before the trade deadline in July and implored the team to add some significant help to the team's roster moving forward.
The Mariners were 55-51 at the trade deadline on August 1. The team essentially stood pat at the deadline with the lone Major League deal being the swap of Sewald to Arizona in exchange for infielder Josh Rojas and outfielder Dominic Canzone. Seattle was five games back in the division race and 3.5 games out of a Wild Card spot at the deadline and their moves reflected a team that was stuck in purgatory: too good to sell, too uncertain to go for it.
Meanwhile, the Rangers – who have spent significant money in free agency to add pieces such as Marcus Semien and Corey Seager the last two years – are heading to the playoffs instead.
