The Seattle Mariners are facing critical roster choices after being eliminated by Toronto in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Despite winning their first AL West title since 2001 and seeing catcher Cal Raleigh hit 60 home runs, Seattle must now navigate key upcoming free agencies to sustain success.
