The Seattle Mariners are actively seeking to address gaps in their roster, particularly at first, second, and third base. President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto has confirmed ongoing trade discussions with the Boston Red Sox regarding Triston Casas, the Philadelphia Phillies about Alec Bohm, and the Chicago Cubs concerning Nico Hoerner and Cody Bellinger.
However, trade negotiations have been challenging, with significant demands from the opposing teams. The Mariners are hesitant to part with their young pitchers, which has slowed potential deals. Dipoto noted that the team is not yet close to finalizing any trades, indicating a cautious approach as the offseason progresses.
