The Seattle Mariners are actively seeking a first baseman, second baseman, and third baseman to fill roster needs. Despite initial hopes of signing Carlos Santana, negotiations have stalled due to salary demands. Other potential targets like Paul Goldschmidt and Christian Walker are also facing hurdles in securing contracts. This impasse may force the Mariners to explore trade options for a first baseman.
The Seattle Mariners are still trying to find players that will fill the team's needs in the infield.
During MLB Winter Meetings, the Seattle Times' Ryan Divish said that the Mariners were hoping to get a deal done with Santana by next week. A full seven days has passed since Winter Meetings concluded, and Santana is still a free agent.from ESPN's MLB insider Jeff Passan, teams have "balked" at the asking price of available first basemen like Santana or Paul Goldschmidt.
Santana is coming off the first Gold Glove season of his career. He also hit .238 with 23 home runs and 71 RBIs in 2024.If the market continues to progress the way Passan has reported, then these aforementioned first basemen might not find homes until deep in the offseason.
