Cal Raleigh Delivers Blistering Assessment of Mariners' 2026 Failure

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh delivered a candid critique of the team's failed 2026 campaign, blaming poor defense, a struggling bullpen, and a collective lack of focus. Dismissing injuries as an excuse, Raleigh called for organizational improvement from top to bottom. Meanwhile, he sat out Friday's game against the Angels amid an 0-for-12 slump, finishing a disappointing season slashing just .179/.294/.369 across 520 plate appearances.
