NHL Highlights: Kings 7, Sharks 2

Following a Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for significant roster decisions this offseason. While cornerstone players Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez remain signed long term, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto face key choices regarding pending free agents who contributed to their 2025 AL West division title.

Dipoto identified re-signing impending free agent first baseman Josh Naylor as a primary priority for the club. Seattle must also address third base, where veteran free agent Eugenio Suárez could depart in favor of rookie Ben Williamson, while second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option for 2026.
