Sabres’ Thompson snipes top corner to add insurance goal vs. Panthers

Following their Game 7 ALCS elimination by the Toronto Blue Jays, the Seattle Mariners are shifting focus toward crucial offseason roster decisions. Manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto addressed the media regarding the team's future after securing their first AL West title since 2001. Dipoto highlighted that re-signing pending free agent first baseman Josh Naylor stands as a priority after his strong impact down the stretch.

The Mariners also face roster choices with pending free agent third baseman Eugenio Suárez, potentially opening the door for rookie Ben Williamson. Meanwhile, second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option for next season. 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.
