# 1977 Seattle Mariners season

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 without a major league team since the Seattle Pilots left for Milwaukee to become the Brewers in April 1970.
The Mariners ended the 1977 season by narrowly avoiding last place (held by the Oakland Athletics), finishing sixth in the American League West with a record of 64–98 (.395), 38 games behind the AL West champion Kansas City Royals.

## Offseason

* September 3, 1976: Former Red Sox manager Darrell Johnson is hired to be the team's first manager. Lou Gorman, Seattle's director of baseball operations, states that Johnson will help in scouting players for the upcoming expansion draft.
* October 1, 1976: Dave Johnson was purchased by the Mariners from the Baltimore Orioles.
* October 22, 1976: Diego Seguí was purchased by the Mariners from the San Diego Padres.
* 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.
