The Seattle Mariners face crucial decisions regarding their roster ahead of the 2025 season, particularly at first, second, and third base, as well as in the bullpen. With a mix of free agents, trade targets, and in-house options, they need to evaluate players like Ryan Bliss, who showed promise during his limited time in the majors.

Bliss, acquired in the trade that sent Paul Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks, has potential as a starting second baseman. His speed and power could provide a much-needed boost to the Mariners' lineup, but he must improve his consistency and reduce his strikeout rate to secure a spot.
