The Seattle Mariners are gearing up for the 2025 season with a mix of familiar players and potential changes. Key players like Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford will return, but positions such as first, second, and third base need improvement.

Top prospect Cole Young is unlikely to start at second base on Opening Day, as he is expected to begin the season in Triple-A. Mariners GM Justin Hollander emphasized the importance of not rushing Young, who is seen as a long-term solution for the position.
