The Seattle Mariners are actively pursuing Christian Walker as their top target to address their need for a productive first baseman.
The Seattle Mariners have prioritized finding a first baseman in free agency . General manager Justin Hollander stated the team aims to bolster production at that position. Christian Walker has emerged as their preferred target, according to sources. Walker hit .251 with 26 home runs and 84 RBI for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. His addition would allow the Mariners to utilize Luke Raley in the outfield. The Mariners struggled offensively last season, ranking 22nd in MLB with 642 RBI.
Walker is one of two prominent first basemen available in free agency. However, projections suggest he'll command a multi-year deal worth $20 million to $25 million annually. The Mariners currently have about $15 million available in their 2025 budget, potentially forcing them to exceed their financial limitations to secure Walker. Hollander faces a crucial decision, and swift action is necessary if he wants to sign his top target
