Laine makes sense for Flames on paper, but which kid loses spot for him?

Following their Game 7 ALCS elimination by Toronto, the Seattle Mariners enter the offseason facing multiple critical roster decisions. After winning their first AL West title since 2001, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto are planning for 2026 while addressing several key expiring contracts.

While Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez remain signed long term, first baseman Josh Naylor and third baseman Eugenio Suárez are pending free agents. Dipoto confirmed re-signing Naylor is a priority, while rookie Ben Williamson could step in at third base if Suárez departs.
