The Mariners have often been called a cursed teams over their five decades of existence, and there's probably still plenty of fans who believe this after having a first ever World Series berth cruelly snatched away from them last October. However, the reality is vastly different these days, with the M's being one of the most stable franchises in all of baseball.
The Mariners are one of just four teams to win 85-plus games in the last five seasons and they have legitimate superstars like Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez, who set the tone and influence the organization from top to bottom (especially Raleigh).
