The Seattle Mariners finished the 2023 season with an 85-77 record, narrowly missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year, largely due to offensive struggles and bullpen issues.
Key reliever Matt Brash underwent Tommy John surgery, while Gregory Santos also faced significant injury setbacks. Despite mixed performances from other relievers, the Mariners hold hope for a stronger bullpen in 2025, especially with Brash's potential early return.
Brash, who had a strong 2023 season, is recovering ahead of schedule and could be back by late April, providing the team with much-needed stability.
