Here’s a bold statement: the Seattle Mariners’ ALCS roster decisions are turning heads, and not everyone is on board with their strategy. But here’s where it gets controversial... The team has officially added right-handed pitcher Bryan Woo to their 26-man roster for the American League Championship Series, but there’s a catch—he won’t be available for Game 1 in any capacity. Why? That’s the question on everyone’s mind, especially when you consider the Mariners have opted for a hefty 13-man pitching staff. Is this a strategic move to keep opponents guessing, or are they overloading on arms at the expense of versatility? And this is the part most people miss... Infielder Ben Williamson and utility player Luke Raley were surprisingly left off the roster, while infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni secured a spot. What does this say about the team’s priorities? Are they doubling down on pitching depth to outlast their rivals, or are they risking imbalance in their lineup? The Mariners’ postseason journey kicks off with ALCS Game 1, presented by loanDepot, airing Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on FOX. Fans can still grab tickets to witness the action firsthand—just don’t forget to lock in your spot with the hashtag #SeizeTheMoment. But here’s the real question: Is this roster a recipe for success, or a gamble that could backfire? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this debate is far from over.
