Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, the team could be gearing up for a big upgrade this offseason.
As the Mariners pivot their focus from the 2025 World Series to the 2026 season, reloading the roster has become the organization's new top priority. The final weeks of Mariner baseball this year illustrated several weaknesses in the current roster, and in addition to any non-tender decisions or trades, several players will also be leaving in free agency, notably Seattle's two corner infielders: Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez.
