Tuch scores first Capitals goal into open net after brutal Bussi misplay

Following a Game 7 ALCS elimination by Toronto, the Seattle Mariners are entering an offseason focused on crucial roster decisions. Despite capturing their first AL West title since 2001 and seeing Cal Raleigh hit 60 home runs, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto must now address several impending free agency departures as the franchise pursues its first World Series appearance.

Seattle's primary offseason objectives include resolving first base, where Dipoto identified re-signing trade-deadline acquisition Josh Naylor as a major priority. The Mariners also face contract decisions with pending free-agent third baseman Eugenio Suárez, potentially elevating rookie Ben Williamson, and second baseman Jorge Polanco, who holds a $6 million player option for 2026.
