The Mariners have struggled to find success since 2001. As of 2021, the franchise had a losing record in 30 of its 45 seasons.
The Mariners are one of six Major League Baseball teams that have never won a World Series title, and they are the only team to have never played in one.
They currently have Major League Baseball’s longest active playoff drought, having not qualified for the postseason since their 116-win season in 2001.
The Mariners’ all-time win-loss record is 3,336-3,727 as of 2021.

The name “Mariners” was chosen by club officials in August 1976 from over 600 names submitted by 15,000 entrants in a name-the-team contest. The name was chosen because it suits the prominence of marine culture in the city of Seattle.
