Maple Leafs’ Nylander, McKenna spark offence with pair of quick goals

Following a Game 7 ALCS elimination against Toronto, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for critical offseason roster decisions. President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto and manager Dan Wilson noted that addressing free agency is vital to sustain the momentum from their first AL West title since 2001, even as core stars Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez remain signed long term.

Seattle's primary offseason focus includes resolving the futures of pending free agents Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez. Dipoto identified re-signing Naylor as a priority for first base, while rookie Ben Williamson could step in if Suárez departs. Additionally, second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option that could prompt new contract discussions.
