Seattle Mariners

MLB Network insider Jon Morosi talked to Wyman and Bob on Wednesday for the first time since the Seattle Mariners reunited with infielder Jorge Polanco last week, and his initial comment was a pretty good encapsulation of the general reaction to the surprise move. “I did not think he would go back to Seattle,” Morosi said to open his weekly conversation with the Seattle Sports afternoon show. Polanco was the Mariners' key offseason addition essentially a year to the date before he re-signed, but his 2024 season did not go as planned, and it seemed like his time in Seattle would be over after just the one season. The 31-year-old Polanco underwent knee surgery in October, is moving from second base to third base, and isn't expected to be the Mariners' No. 3 hitter.

After being a major part of the team's success in recent years, the bullpen was a surprising factor in the Seattle Mariners' downfall last season. It finished ninth among MLB teams in ERA (3.71), 15th in FIP (3.91) and fourth in strikeout rate (9.57 K/9) while surrendering the second-least amount of hard contact (27.1%). Seattle's bullpen ranked 20th in ERA (4.20), 22nd in FIP (4.31) and eighth in strikeout rate (9.52 K/9) while giving up the 11th-least amount of hard contact (30.0%).

Pitchers and catchers report to spring training in just eight days for the Seattle Mariners. There hasn't been a whole lot of change for the Mariners this offseason, but questions still remain as to how exactly the roster will shake out this season. Perhaps the most unclear area on the team – at least throughout the offseason – is the infield. During a conversation with Seattle Sports' Bump and Stacy on Wednesday, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander shared how the team sees its infield heading into spring.

In his first offseason as the San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations, Buster Posey has shown he is willing to spend money to upgrade areas of the roster. After identifying shortstop as a need, he went right to the top of the market and snagged the No. 1 player available in free agency; Willy Adames. Adames will provide the Giants with impact performance immediately and into the future, combining with third baseman Matt Chapman to create one of the strongest left-sided infields in baseball. Unfortunately, that was the only splash the team had made thus far under Posey, as their other pursuits were not successful.

The Seattle Mariners have a little over a week until pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Peoria, Ariz. And barring any unexpected developments or blockbuster trades, it looks like the Mariners starting rotation will remain intact for 2025. When winter meetings were held during the second week of December in Dallas, it looked like Seattle's veteran starting pitcher, Luis Castillo, would be heading out East. For the latter part of the winter meetings, trade rumors swirled that Castillo could be heading to the Boston Red Sox in return for first baseman Triston Casas.

The M's acquired Santos in a trade last offseason with the Chicago White Sox, getting him for prospects Prelander Berroa and Zach DeLoach.
