Mariners Face Key Offseason Decisions Amidst Trade Hesitancy

The Seattle Mariners face uncertainty at third base for the 2025 season after trading Eugenio Suarez to the Arizona Diamondbacks to create payroll flexibility. Despite Suarez's strong performance with the Diamondbacks, the Mariners struggled with a platoon of utility infielders at third base in 2024. With limited options in free agency and budget constraints, the Mariners may continue with a platoon of Josh Rojas and Dylan Moore, as acquiring a consistent everyday third baseman would likely require a trade.
