The Seattle Mariners are actively seeking three starting infielders for the 2025 season, as confirmed by President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto and General Manager Justin Hollander. The team has opted not to retain second baseman Jorge Polanco and has non-tendered third baseman Josh Rojas.

Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers are recovering from injuries, with outfielder Adolis Garcia and shortstop Corey Seager nearing a return to action. The Rangers, who faced setbacks in 2024 after their World Series win, are looking to regain their competitive edge in the AL West.

As the Mariners consider their roster moves, the division landscape is shifting, with the Houston Astros potentially losing key players to free agency and the Oakland Athletics planning to increase their payroll significantly as they transition to Sacramento.
