NHL Highlights: Ducks 5, Oilers 4

Following a Game 7 ALCS elimination against Toronto, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for crucial offseason roster decisions. Despite capturing their first AL West title since 2001, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto face key free agency choices to build on their historic season and continue pursuing the franchise's first World Series appearance.

Seattle's primary priorities involve addressing the corner infield spots, with both first baseman Josh Naylor and third baseman Eugenio Suárez entering free agency. Dipoto emphasized that re-signing Naylor is a priority, while rookie Ben Williamson remains an internal option at third base. Second baseman Jorge Polanco also holds a six million dollar player option for 2026.
