"I think they know how we feel, and don't really believe in progress or no progress," Hollander said. "When you get to a deal, you get to a deal, but I think everybody's aware of where we're at right now and that we do have interest, and we'll just keep playing it day by day until we can get deals or have to pivot elsewhere."
"Our offseason is largely going to start with the guys who were on the team last year and try to bring as many back as possible," Hollander said, with the M's "then filling in the rest of the roster as required."
"ideally keeping as much of the group that we had last year, that we really believed in, together,"
The Mariners intend to preserve as much of their 2025 roster as possible and begin the offseason by prioritizing returning players. The club has contacted agents for six free agents: Josh Naylor, Jorge Polanco, Eugenio Suarez, Caleb Ferguson, Luke Jackson, and Mitch Garver. Naylor and Polanco are viewed as the likeliest re-signs while others may depart. Remaining roster needs will be filled afterward, with negotiations proceeding day by day and the organization willing to pivot if deals do not materialize. Bullpen upgrades are a key focus after a 3.72 ERA and control and strikeout concerns despite Andres Muñoz closing.
