Here’s How to Watch 2025 MLB Draft; Seattle Mariners Pick No. 3

This year’s MLB Draft is one of the most unpredictable ones in recent seasons, and the Seattle Mariners will be right in the midst of the chaos.

The Mariners will have the No. 3 pick in the draft. It will be the 10th draft in the Jerry Dipoto-era and the highest pick he’s had since joining the team’s front office.

There’s several elite players available, and whichever direction Seattle goes, the player selected will have top 100 potential, which will add to the organization’s elite farm system. The Mariners have nine top 100 prospects, per MLB Pipeline. Depending on who the M’s pick, the No. 3 selection could be a major league contributor within two seasons, as has become a more recent trend around the league.

Seattle used the No. 15 pick in last year’s draft to select Mississippi State switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje, who is ranked the No. 79 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline and No. 82 prospect according to Baseball America. He’s posted a 4.95 ERA in 16 appearances (13 starts) with the High-A Everett AquaSox this season and has fanned 63 batters in 56.1 innings pitched.

Day 1 of the draft will consist of the Rounds 1-3. In addition to the No. 3 pick, Seattle has the No. 35 selection (competitive balance “A” pick), the No. 57 pick (second round) and the No. 91 pick (third round).

Judge upholds Seattle’s record .5M verdict in Antonio Mays Jr. CHOP death case

SEATTLE — A King County Superior Court judge has upheld a $30.5 million jury verdict against the City of Seattle in the death of Antonio Mays Jr., rejecting all post-trial motions filed by the city.

Judge Sean P. O’Donnell denied the motions Friday in the case filed by Mays’ family, leaving intact the verdict returned Jan. 29, 2026, the largest in Seattle’s history.

Mays, 16, was shot June 29, 2020, inside the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, zone, where police and emergency services had been withdrawn during protests following the killing of George Floyd.

Jury finds city of Seattle liable for teen’s death in CHOP zone; awards family $30-million

Attorneys for the Mays family argued the teen’s injuries were survivable and that the city’s failure to provide timely emergency response led to his death. A jury deliberated for 12 days before reaching the $30.5 million verdict.

The city challenged multiple aspects of the verdict, including causation, damages and alleged juror misconduct, but the judge rejected those arguments.

This ruling confirms what 12 jurors already told the City of Seattle,” attorneys with Oshan Law, representing the Mays family, said in a statement. “Judge O’Donnell considered every argument the city raised and found none sufficient. The verdict stands.

Antonio Mays Sr., the teen’s father, said the ruling affirms the jury’s findings.

“My son came to this city and this city turned its back on him,” he said in a statement. “Today, the court confirmed what the jury already said — his life mattered.”

The city has not yet publicly indicated whether it plans to appeal.

Generation adidas Cup: Seattle Sounders knock off global powerhouses | MLSSoccer.com

Tuesday’s Round of 16 action saw both teams pick up wins versus marquee opposition.

Seattle’s Under-15s powered past Bundesliga giants FC Bayern, 4-0, to advance to the quarterfinals.

Kyle Iwamoto put Seattle out in front in the 19th minute. Cristopher Batiz and Gian Hurtado-Martinez tacked on second-half goals. After Bayern had a man sent off, Batiz added his second of the game.

Seattle’s Under-16 team knocked off a previously unbeaten Boca Juniors squad, 1-0. An 18th-minute goal from Adin Fikic accounted for the offense as the two Seattle sides progressed.

Here’s a roundup of the rest of the Round of 16 action from IMG Academy as penalty kick shootouts dominated the day.

Up next for Seattle in this age group are FC Cincinnati, who beat Red Bull New York by a 2-0 score. Familiar faces found the back of the net once again, as Hassan Sakr and Grant Choi scored in the second stanza to secure progress.

It took Cedar Stars Academy-Bergen 40 minutes to finally break through the Nashville SC back line, securing progress with a 2-0 victory over the MLS side. Emmanuel Gavela finally broke the deadlock, and with the game stretched, Christopher Fitanidis added his side’s second goal.

Charlotte FC sent Toulouse FC out of the competition, winning a penalty shootout by a 4-3 margin after the two sides drew 0-0. New York City FC did the same to Orlando City, winning 3-1 on spot kicks after neither side found the back of the net in the 60-minute game. LAFC and CF Montréal were the third 0-0 matchup of the day, with the SoCal side advancing via a 4-1 victory in the shootout.

Another matchup was decided from the spot between D.C. United and Atlanta United. Joey Rubio put United up in the 30th minute, only for Colin O’Neil to answer six minutes later. Michael Emoghene’s 52nd-minute goal put Atlanta up, before a stoppage-time equalizer by Bakary Kante. Atlanta converted all five penalties to survive.

Chicago Fire homegrown signing Robert Turdean slotted into the starting lineup, helping fire them to a 2-1 win over Slavia Prague. He scored in the 18th and 39th minutes as Chicago punched their ticket to the quarterfinals against LA Galaxy.

In an epic tussle between two MLS sides, the Galaxy defeated the Philadelphia Union in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw. U.S. youth national team veterans Abdoulaye Diop (Union) and Ikenna Chidebe (Galaxy) traded early goals in the first 16 minutes of the game. Alessio Benedetti put the Galaxy in front for the first time with a 34th-minute goal. After the Galaxy went down a man later in the half, Christopher Thompson equalized. LA converted four of its five attempts to move on.

Trailing 3-1 to Club América in the second half, it appeared the Vancouver Whitecaps were on the way out of the tournament. However, the offense came to life at the right time. Henry Hudspith narrowed the margin to 3-2, setting the table for Simeon Cruickshank to score again to tie it. Riding the momentum, the Whitecaps nailed all four spot kicks to advance.

Real Salt Lake bested Toronto FC thanks to two second-half goals in three minutes. Eric Saavedra and Elliott Jo accounted for the tallies in the 2-0 victory.

It’s already been a strong week for New England Revolution forward Matthew Jean Baptiste. With a goal and assist in a previous match, his second-minute winner knocked out Orlando City by a 1-0 score. The Sounders await in the quarterfinals.

Niko Price reacts to retirement interview snub at UFC Seattle

Niko Price’s retirement didn’t go as planned in every sense.

Price (16-11 MMA, 8-11 UFC) made his last MMA walkout this past Saturday on the main card of UFC Fight Night 271 in Seattle. He stepped in on short notice to fight Michael Chiesa, who is from Washington, and was also entering the last fight of his career. Price, like any retiring fighter, wanted to close out his career on a high, but unfortunately, he was quickly submitted by Chiesa in the first round. The loss wasn’t the only thing that didn’t go Price’s way.

After the fight, Price took off his gloves and laid them on the canvas – a tradition most fighters follow in their final bout. Yet, despite letting the UFC beforehand that he was retiring and making it known in the cage after the fight, he was passed over for an interview. The post-fight production focused on Chiesa, and was the only fighter to get time on the microphone.

“I had to stand there and watch his whole thing, and they’re like, ‘Yeah, you’re going to get mic time.’ I’m like, ‘Alright, cool.’ Then I’m like, ‘Why am I not getting mic time?’” Price recalled speaking to Inside Fighting. “Then, I was like, ‘Whatever, don’t worry, but can I leave? I don’t want to stay here no more.’ Then I told my coach because they didn’t even send me off at all. They went to my gloves, and then they took a picture of him with my gloves. I was like, ‘Nooo, I wanted to do that picture with my gloves.’ He has his gloves on in the picture.”

It was an awkward moment. Many online criticized the UFC production team and Daniel Cormier for not acknowledging Price’s retirement.

Although Price didn’t get his ideal send-off, he’s happy with his decision to walk away from MMA. It was something he planned on doing, even before accepting the fight with Chiesa.

“It was mentioned probably like 10 days before the fight, ‘Would this be a possibility?’” Price said. “I said, ‘I have to talk to my team.’ At first I was like, ‘No,’ but then me and my wife started talking, and I was like, ‘I’m getting old, man. Everything hurts. I want to spend time with my kids and stop being so selfish and spending so much time with myself.’ She goes, ‘I don’t really want you to do it anymore and it’s getting really hard on my daughters.’ I mean, it’s hard on me too, man. Even though it was on seven days’ notice, still, losing sucks.”

Price debuted for the UFC in December 2016. He did so by pulling a big upset over then prospect Brandon Thatch at UFC 207. Price went on to fight in the UFC for a decade, compiling a record of 8-11. During his best stretch, which came early in his UFC run, Price was 4-1 with one victory getting overturned to a no contest due to a positive marijuana test. The Floridaman shared the cage with many notable names, including Robbie Lawler, Donald Cerrone, Vicente Luque, and Geoff Neal.

Moving forward, Price, 36, plans to focus on his fishing business, along with other things.

“Well, we already have the bait mobile, so I’m going to put a lot of time into that, the mobile bait,” Price explained. “So if you’re going fishing in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, call us up; we’ll bring you some shiners. Yeah, we’re pushing that. I have a couple of other things I’m pushing with my cousins. They own a couple of businesses, so I’m going to jump in with them and do some things. I’m definitely going to be coaching and teaching the stuff I’ve done.”
