The Seattle Mariners have been inactive in the offseason while AL West rivals make significant moves.
The Seattle Mariners have been relatively quiet this offseason, making only one trade for utility player Austin Shenton. Meanwhile, other teams in the American League West have been active, with the Houston Astros making notable trades and the Angels acquiring several new players. The Mariners have faced competition from these active teams, particularly the Astros who have significantly upgraded their roster.
There has been speculation about the Mariners acquiring outfielder Anthony Santander, but it appears unlikely due to his contract demands, which would push the Astros into the competitive balance tax. Santander had a successful season with Baltimore, hitting .235 with 44 homers and 102 RBI, helping the team reach the playoffs in consecutive years. The Astros won the American League West in 2024, overtaking the Mariners who held a 10-game lead in June
