The Seattle Mariners face a critical offseason decision regarding their second base position, particularly after declining Jorge Polanco's option due to injuries. With Polanco's departure, the Mariners may look to Ryan Bliss, who made his MLB debut in 2024, as a potential starter for 2025.
Bliss, acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks, shared his experiences adjusting to a new team and the pressure of stepping into a role previously held by a beloved player. His journey reflects the challenges young players face in Major League Baseball.
As the Mariners prepare for spring training, Bliss will compete for the starting position alongside top prospect Cole Young and any new acquisitions, making for an intriguing battle ahead.
