(represented by Howard Lincoln) FSN Northwest (Dave Niehaus, Rick Rizzs, Ron Fairly, Dave Valle, Dave Henderson) |}} The Seattle Mariners 2003 season was their 27th since the franchise creation. The team finished second in the American League West with a record of 93–69. They would not make the playoffs for the second straight year and despite that, this was their last winning season until 2007.

The team used only five starting pitchers the entire season, which was unusual. The five starting pitchers were Ryan Franklin, Freddy García, Gil Meche, Jamie Moyer, and Joel Piñeiro.
