The Seattle Mariners are looking to strengthen their infield as they head into the offseason, specifically targeting first, second, and third base positions. Meanwhile, their rivals, the Los Angeles Angels, have been proactive in the free agency market, making significant trades to bolster their roster.

The Angels acquired Jorge Soler from the Atlanta Braves and Scott Kingery from the Philadelphia Phillies, while also signing pitcher Kyle Hendricks to a one-year deal. Hendricks, a veteran with a World Series title, aims to provide leadership to a young Angels pitching staff.
