NBA Highlights: Timberwolves 115, Pelicans 109

Following a Game 7 ALCS elimination against Toronto, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for crucial roster decisions ahead of next season. Despite capturing their first AL West title since 2001, Seattle faces key free agency situations with midseason acquisitions Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez. President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto identified retaining Naylor as a priority for the club at first base.

Seattle must also determine third base plans, with rookie Ben Williamson an internal candidate if Suárez departs. Additionally, second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option for 2026. Manager Dan Wilson expressed confidence that the roster has the fight required to sustain success and eventually reach the World Series.
