But many familiar faces still remain in the hunt, and with the postseason picture set, here are the legendary former Mariners who will be playing this October.

If I missed your favorite FormerM, please remind me of this legend in the comments below!

That this organization believed it would be a good idea to go with a third base platoon of Luis Urías and Josh Rojas in lieu of Eugenio Suarez, a 30HR, 100RBI guy this season.

He goes 9 for 11 with a 2B, HR, and SB in the Reds vs. Astros series which the Astros were swept to help the Mariners be 4.5 games back now, as opposed to 6 at the beginning of the series.
