Here's How Much Seattle Mariners Players Earned For Postseason Run

The Seattle Mariners are coming off the best playoff run in team history this past season.

The Mariners made it to Game 7 of the American League Championship Series before ultimately falling by one run to eventual pennant winners the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the first time since the organization was established in 1977 that the M’s were one win away from the World Series.

For the Mariners’ ALCS run, many players earned a major Christmas bonus.

According to a story written by Fabian Ardaya of the Athletic, the MLB issued a postseason pool of $128.2 million, nearly matching the record $129.1 million from last year.

The postseason pool, which is awarded to playoff clubs, is divvied up among players and managers and coaches.

Ardaya described the process as follows in the story below:

All players and managers eligible for the World Series or who went on the injured list on June 1 or later received a full share. Other players who weren’t with the team by that date are subject to a team vote on whether they receive a full or partial share, along with select staff members. Other staffers, such as team media relations directors, grounds crew members, traveling secretaries and others, are not eligible for shares but can receive cash awards. Club executives are not eligible.

Seattle issued 69 full shares, fourth-most among playoff teams, totaling $182,376.45. The amount of full shares is behind the World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers (82), Blue Jays (70) and Milwaukee Brewers (70).

The amount of the Mariners’ full-share amounts were the third-most among postseason clubs, behind Los Angeles ($484,747.57) and Toronto ($354,118.39).

If Seattle’s efforts this offseason is successful, people within the organization will earn a much more lucrative amount in term of shares.

The Mariners have made efforts this offseason to extend their championship window and make it back to the ALCS and advance to the first World Series in franchise history.

Seattle signed first baseman Josh Naylor to a five-year, $92.5 million contract that will extend through the rest of the decade. The Mariners also acquired high-leverage left-handed reliever Jose Ferrer in a trade with the Washington Nationals and signed backup catcher Andrew Knizner to a one-year contract.

Seattle has also remained in trade conversations with the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks related to second basemen Brendan Donovan and Ketel Marte, respectively.

The Mariners are reportedly one of the front runners to land Donovan in a trade alongside the San Francisco Giants.
