The Seattle Mariners have faced significant setbacks in their offseason plans, missing out on key first base targets including Paul Goldschmidt and Josh Naylor. Additionally, Christian Walker has signed with the Houston Astros, and Carlos Santana has joined the Cleveland Guardians after being a potential fit for Seattle.

With limited payroll flexibility, the Mariners are now considering a reunion with Justin Turner as their most viable option. However, they still need to address their second and third base positions as they navigate a challenging offseason.
