The Mariners optioned Thomas to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas did everything he could to claim a spot on Seattle's Opening Day roster, slashing .486/.535/.784 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs scored over 43 plate appearances, but he will instead head back to Tacoma to begin 2026. The 25-year-old outfielder has batted .327 and stolen 45 bases across 181 Triple-A games since joining the Mariners organization in 2024, but Seattle's crowded outfield corps will likely make it hard for him to find playing time in the majors.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's Cactus League matchup with the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has been red hot this spring, going 5-for-12 with a pair of homers in seven games. While he doesn't currently have a clear path towards an Opening Day roster spot, Thomas has certainly turned heads in the Mariners organization. The 25-year-old outfielder went just 1-for-8 in three games with Seattle last year, though he slashed an eye-popping .325/.380/.411 with seven homers and 35 steals across 134 games with Triple-A Tacoma.

The Mariners optioned Thomas to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He's exiting the roster to clear a spot for Leody Taveras, who has officially been added after being claimed off waivers. Thomas went 1-for-8 at the dish during his brief first stint in the big leagues.
