Ryan Sloan Named to Arkansas Travelers 2026 Opening Roster

Ryan Sloan will begin the 2026 season with the Arkansas Travelers, the Seattle Mariners' Double-A affiliate. Recognized as one of the organization's top two pitching prospects, Sloan's placement at the Double-A level indicates an aggressive development path intended to shorten his timeline to the big leagues. He joins fellow top prospect Kade Anderson on the Travelers' roster as the Mariners continue to prioritize the advancement of their elite pitching talent.
