The Seattle Mariners are facing a critical deadline as seven of their players must agree to contracts by Thursday at 10 a.m. PT in order to avoid arbitration. Failure to reach agreements will lead to the exchange of contract figures, potentially straining player-team relationships, as seen in Corbin Burnes' situation with the Milwaukee Brewers prior to his trade to the Baltimore Orioles.

Among the players needing contracts are Randy Arozarena, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Cal Raleigh, Tayler Saucedo, Trent Thornton, and Gabe Speier, with Arozarena's arbitration estimate peaking at $11.5 million.

This arbitration process is crucial for the Mariners, especially as they aim to manage their budget closely this offseason. The organization, which finished the previous season with an 85-77 record and narrowly missed playoff contention, has yet to invest in free agency, making these negotiations even more significant.
