Sharks and Islanders drop gloves for simultaneous fights after face-off

Following a Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS, the Seattle Mariners are preparing for crucial roster decisions this offseason. While cornerstone players Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez are under long-term contracts, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto and manager Dan Wilson must navigate several pending free agents after capturing their first AL West title since 2001.

Seattle's primary priorities include addressing first base, with Dipoto stating that re-signing free agent Josh Naylor is an objective. The Mariners must also determine the future of free agent third baseman Eugenio Suárez, potentially turning to rookie Ben Williamson, while second baseman Jorge Polanco holds a $6 million player option for 2026.
