"Lo and behold, he's become a big-time leadership piece in our clubhouse," Servais said.

After 21 long years of frustration and failures, the Seattle Mariners are finally returning to the playoffs.

Instead, a fan base that first tasted the postseason with the “My Oh My” magic of Ken Griffey Jr. They had gone from 10 games under .500 to 18 games over .500 in a span of 72 games. It’s included a whirlwind of roster moves and countless changes to the organization, including a rebuilding plan after the 2019 season. In the midst of the raucous celebration, Jerry Dipoto, the Mariners president of baseball operations, hugged Servais, the manager he picked to lead this team after being hired before the 2016 season. There’s so many kids that grew up in the Pacific Northwest that don’t know anything about the Mariners being in the playoffs, and now we get to show them.” Somewhere looking down on the starless night of Seattle, Dave Niehaus, screamed “My oh my, I don’t believe it,” and shed a tear at what he missed.

Valdez never made it into a game for Seattle this season, though he posted a 4.41 ERA in 16 1/3 innings with Boston this season. Otherwise, he has pitched at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 3.60 ERA across 39 innings split between the Worcester Red Sox and the Tacoma Rainiers. Should he be outrighted, Valdez will qualify for minor league free agency this offseason unless the Mariners add him back onto the 40-man roster.

It wasn't all that long ago that the idea of the Mariners re-signing Mitch Haniger for the 2023 season seemed like a no-brainer.

And that’s why the final week of the season and then the playoffs will be so crucial for Haniger’s future. “By the way, all it takes is a hot October, too,” Passan said. “It’s a bummer, but you’re right – he’s a streaky enough player that when he goes through these bad streaks, you think that something else will be on the other side of it,” Salk said to Passan. Further complicating the situation is how much time he’s missed due to injury in his career, as he’s played more than 100 games just twice (157 games in each of 2018 and 2021). In the 20 games after, however, Haniger fell into a slump, hitting just a .220/.296/.263 slash for a .559 OPS with no homers, four doubles and eight RBIs.

As for MLB, the [Phillies](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/PHI/philadelphia-phillies/) (2011) have grabbed the lead, though perhaps that is temporary. They punched their ticket to the 2022 [MLB](/mlb) playoffs with a [2-1 walk-off victory](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/gametracker/live/MLB_20220930_OAK@SEA/) over the Oakland A's Friday night.
