Flyers’ Briere says Michkov, agent never requested trade

Following a Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS, the Seattle Mariners are entering an offseason focused on key roster decisions. After securing their first AL West title since 2001, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto are planning how to sustain success after falling just short of the franchise's first World Series appearance.

Seattle's primary offseason priorities include resolving the futures of pending free agents Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez. Dipoto identified re-signing Naylor at first base as a priority, while rookie Ben Williamson remains an internal option at third base. Additionally, second baseman Jorge Polanco faces a decision on his $6 million player option.
