Seattle Mariners seek offensive improvement for 2025 season

The Seattle Mariners finished the 2024 season with an 85-77 record, placing second in the AL West. Key departures include pitchers JT Chargois and Yimi Garcia, while new additions are infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni and infielder Donovan Solano. The Mariners missed the playoffs by one game last season and have made minimal offseason changes. General manager Jerry Dipoto faces pressure to improve the team's performance, especially in securing additional offensive players before the trade deadline. Seattle boasts a strong pitching rotation, featuring Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo, and Bryce Miller. The team hopes to enhance its offense, particularly from outfielder Julio Rodriguez, to compete for a wild-card spot in 2025.
