Seattle Mariners Odds & Ends: MLB The Show ratings, uni notes
When it comes to following the Seattle Mariners, there’s more than just what happens on the field and in the box scores. Some fans like to play as the Mariners in video games, or maybe they’re more into keeping up on the latest uniform changes and official hats.
If that piques your interest, well, this notebook is for you.

Here’s a look at some of those odd and ends concerning the Mariners as we get ready for the 2024 MLB season.
Seattle Mariners’ top MLB The Show ratings
On Thursday, a ratings reveal stream was aired on the MLB The Show Twitch channel, and we got our first look at how the Mariners’ top players will be rated for the annual video game (the 2024 version is set to be released March 19).
A quick breakdown of how the ratings work: 85 or higher is in the diamond tier, 80-84 is considered gold, 75-79 is silver, 60-74 is bronze, and anything below is considered common. So how do the Mariners shake out? Only their five highest-rated players were revealed, and they have three diamonds and two golds just on the cusp on the highest level. Not too shabby.
Leading the list is no surprise: Julio Rodríguez, Seattle’s superstar center fielder, is one of the best players in the game with a 93 overall rating.
JULIOOOOOO! 🔱@Mariners @MLBDominicana

Next up is ace Luis Castillo at 87, but he’s not the only diamond starting pitcher for the M’s. Fellow 2023 Mariners All-Star George Kirby is an 85 overall.
As for the golds, both catcher Cal Raleigh and relief pitcher Andrés Muñoz are 84 ratings.
Raleigh actually appeared on the stream as he was asked him what he thought his ratings are. True to his down to earth personality, he guessed low.

What the M’s are wearing
You’ve probably seen all the uproar about the new Nike-designed, Fanatics-produced jerseys and pants around MLB this season, so we won’t dive into that here. For more info, though, check out either of the two articles linked below.

As for Mariners-specific updates, there are a few, though nothing is earth-shattering.
First, the navy jerseys that have become the regular choice for road games will have the same font for the nameplate on the back as all the other M’s jerseys. Uni Watch covered that in detail here, and it’s safe to say this change will make a lot of fans happy.
Next, there is an interesting bit of speculation entering the second year of Seattle’s City Connect uniforms. On Wednesday, this picture of Rodríguez caught some attention because it shows him wearing the blue City Connect jersey and hat with white pants – not the controversial black pants they were paired with in 2023. Whether or not this is a sign of things to come in 2024, it does make for a pleasing, clean look (I’d still flip the hat’s logo in a direction that isn’t associated with bad luck, but I digress).
Speaking of hat logos, the Mariners have a pretty sharp new batting practice cap.
The 2024 Batting Practice cap has arrived! This cap brings the iconic “S” of the ‘80s to the color scheme of the ‘90s.

This utilizes the ‘S’ logo from 1987-92 but in the team’s current color scheme of Northwest green, navy and white. I can’t remember an official M’s cap ever using a white front panel (save for an All-Star Game), and let me just say, that’s a great move.
The Mariners have also been wearing new spring training caps. This one is maybe even more of a departure as the primary color is mint, so it’s not quite the same shade as the Northwest Green jerseys it has been paired with. I’m never mad any time the compass logo gets to shine on its own (remember these bad boys in the late 90s?), so another good offering for the hat enthusiasts out there.
2024 Spring Training caps are here and they are 🔥! Get yours today at our @TMobilePark or Downtown Seattle Team Stores. We open at 11am, see you then! 😎 pic.twitter.com/8uFDZf8vx6

Seattle ordered to pay over $30 million for fatal shooting of teen in 2020 protest
SEATTLE (AP) — A jury on Thursday ordered the city of Seattle to pay more than $30 million over the unsolved, fatal shooting of a teenager at the “ Capitol Hill Occupied Protest ” zone, which arose in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd.
The King County jury returned the verdict following 12 days of deliberation, finding that the city was negligent in its emergency response to the shooting of Antonio Mays Jr., 16, and that that negligence caused his death, The Seattle Times reported.
Because first responders wouldn’t come to the protest zone, witnesses tried to bring Mays by private vehicle to get medical care from paramedics. They tried to flag down an ambulance that drove away from them, and it was about 24 minutes before they met with medics in a parking lot.
Attorneys for the family argued that Mays might have survived if his airway was properly cleared sooner. The city argued that Mays, who was shot in the head, was unlikely to have lived and that the emergency response was not to blame for his death.
Seattle was ordered to pay $4 million to Mays’ estate and $26 million to his father, Antonio Mays Sr., who became emotional and hugged his lawyer as the verdict was announced.
Racial justice demonstrators enraged about Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police took over eight square blocks in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood in June 2020, creating a protest zone called “CHOP.” It lasted three weeks after the city police department abandoned its nearby precinct, earning derision from President Donald Trump, who claimed a large section of the city had been taken over by anarchists.
Following two shootings at or near the protest, including Mays’ death on June 29, then-Mayor Jenny Durkan and the police department dismantled the zone.
Mays was shot in a stolen white Jeep near the protest zone with a 14-year-old also in the vehicle. A livestream from the scene captured the shots and the aftermath — but did not show the shooter. Witnesses said on the livestream that armed protesters guarding the protest zone’s barricades had fired at the Jeep. No arrests have been made nor charges filed.
Mays traveled to Seattle from southern California, where he left a note for his father saying he was joining the civil rights movement. He did not tell his father where he was going, only that he wanted to make him “proud.” Mays Sr. filed a missing persons report with the Los Angeles Police Department the same day he found the note.
Less than 10 days later, Mays was dead. The 14-year-old, who was also shot, survived after witnesses brought him to a hospital.
King County Superior Court Judge Sean O’Donnell barred the city from presenting a defense that it was not liable because Mays was committing a felony — stealing the Jeep — at the time he was killed. Even if the city proved Mays had stolen the Jeep, O’Donnell ruled, there’s no proof that he was killed because of it.
In a statement Thursday the city attorney’s office called the death a tragedy and said it was considering its legal options.

Damp weather finally returns to Seattle
SEATTLE – Seattle is gearing up for rounds of wet and slightly breezy weather in the coming days.
Seattle finally broke the dry streak with light rain on Tuesday evening. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Thursday morning will start mild, blustery and cloudy with pockets of moderate rain. Wet weather could slow the morning drive. Early temperatures will range in the 40s. Highs on Thursday will reach the low 50s. Winds will ease a little midday after locally windy weather overnight.
While there could be a few inches of fresh snow at the mountain passes by Thursday morning, temperatures will rise above freezing throughout the day — melting away some of that freshly-accumulated snow. Unfortunately, snow levels will stay elevated through the rest of the seven day forecast.
Unfortunately, not much in the way of snow is expected for the ski resorts in Washington this week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Highs will be above-normal in Seattle on Thursday – reaching the low 50s. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
During the daytime on Thursday, showers will turn more hit-or-miss. Another period of more widespread rain will pick up Thursday night into Friday morning. On-and-off rain will continue on Friday before diminishing somewhat on Saturday.
Highs will range in the 50s in the coming days in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
A Flood Watch remains posted for the Skokomish River in Mason County through Friday night. Along the Central and North Coast, a High Surf Advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Thursday: large, breaking waves will be dangerous.
Showers are still a possibility on Sunday and Monday, but drier weather could be back on Tuesday and Wednesday.
This weekend, there could be minor coastal flooding in the Salish Sea and Puget Sound.
Rain showers will continue through Saturday morning in the Puget Sound area.
Take good care,
