Canucks’ Pettersson strikes shorthanded against Rangers

Following a Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for crucial roster decisions this offseason. Manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto addressed the team's future, balancing the sting of missing out on the franchise's first World Series against a milestone 2025 season that included Seattle's first AL West division title since 2001.

Key decisions include pending free agents Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez, both acquired prior to the trade deadline. Dipoto identified re-signing Naylor as a priority for first base, while rookie Ben Williamson could step in if Suárez departs. Second baseman Jorge Polanco also holds a $6 million player option for next season.
