The2007 Seattle Mariners season was the 31st season in franchise history. The Mariners played their 8th full season (9th overall) atSafeco Field and finished with a record of 88–74, clinching their first winning season since2003.
After spending two and a half seasons managing the Mariners and guiding the team to a 44–33 (.571) record this season, including a major league-best 25-12 record since May 22,managerMike Hargrove shocked the team by announcing his resignation prior to a July 1 game against theToronto Blue Jays. Hargrove said he could no longer give the same passion or commitment to his bosses and players.Bench coachJohn McLaren was named as Hargrove's replacement.[1] The Mariners won eight consecutive games between June 23 and July 1, making Hargrove the first manager since 1900 to resign his position after a winning streak of more than seven games.[2]
The Mariners longest winning streak was eight games between June 23 to July 1,[3] while their longest losing streak was nine, from August 25 to September 2. That losing streak effectively ended their effort to make the playoffs.[4]
For the seventh consecutive time in his seven-year career,Ichiro Suzuki was named to theAll-Star Game, held atAT&T Park inSan Francisco.CloserJ. J. Putz was selected to his first All-Star Game.[5] Suzuki was voted theAll-Star Game MVP after going 3-for-3 with a two-run, inside-the-park home run (the first home run in All-Star history to be hit inside the park).[6] Three days after the All-Star game, on July 13, the Mariners announced that they had signed Suzuki to a five-year contract extension with an estimated value of $90 million, making Suzuki the highest-paid player in Mariners history for the second time.[7]
