The 1977 Seattle Mariners season was the first season in franchise history, which was established via the 1977 Major League Baseball expansion. The creation of the Mariners brought baseball back to Seattle, which had been devoid of baseball since the Seattle Pilots left for Milwaukee to become the Brewers following the 1969 season. The Mariners ended the season just avoiding last place (held by the Oakland A's), finishing 6th in the American League West with a record of 64-98, 38 games behind the AL West Champion Kansas City Royals.

Offseason

October 1, 1976: Dave Johnson was purchased by the Mariners from the Baltimore Orioles.^[1]
October 22, 1976: Diego Seguí was purchased by the Mariners from the San Diego Padres.^[2]
November 5, 1976: The 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft was held. The Mariners (along with their expansion partners, the Toronto Blue Jays) selected 30 players to fill their major league roster.
April 1, 1977: Mike Kekich was purchased by the Mariners from the Tecolotes de Nuevo Laredo.^[3]
