Ryan Bliss Realizes Childhood Dream with Mariners Debut

The Mariners call up the 24-year-old infielder, who once tweeted about his dream to play for Seattle, to fill in for the injured Jorge Polanco.

Bliss, originally drafted by the Red Sox, joined the Mariners through a trade with the Diamondbacks in 2023.
He has shown promise in Triple-A Tacoma with a .247 batting average, .827 OPS, and 28 stolen bases this season.
Bliss fills the roster spot of Jorge Polanco, who is on the injured list with a right hamstring issue.
Polanco's injury is considered mild, with an MRI scheduled to confirm the extent.
Bliss's family and girlfriend were in attendance for his MLB debut, making the moment even more special.
