NHL Pre-Season Highlights: Canadiens 4, Senators 2

Following a Game 7 elimination by the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series, the Seattle Mariners are evaluating roster options for the upcoming season. Manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto addressed the team's outlook on Thursday after winning their first AL West title since 2001. Dipoto stated that retaining pending free-agent first baseman Josh Naylor is an organizational priority.

Seattle also faces pending free agency for third baseman Eugenio Suárez, which could allow rookie Ben Williamson to step into an expanded role. Second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option for next season. Meanwhile, franchise cornerstones Cal Raleigh—who hit 60 home runs in 2025—and Julio Rodríguez remain under long-term contracts through the end of the decade.
