"Acquired from the Rays at the 2024 trade deadline, Arozarena has been an impactful source of power in the heart of Seattle's lineup since that trade. He had a slow start to his Seattle tenure but in 2025 slashed .238/.334/.426 with a career-high 27 home runs and 31 steals (the second-highest mark of his career). By measure of wRC+, which weights for the pitcher-friendly confines in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, Arozarena has been 22% better than average at the plate since landing in the Emerald City."
"Heading into 2026, Arozarena will again play a key role near the top of manager Dan Wilson's lineup. He'll be joined by MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez and the recently re-signed Josh Naylor atop what should be a quality Mariners lineup. The M's have been continuing their search for more bats, looking particularly hard at adding another infielder to the mix. They've reportedly shown interest in trading for Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan and D-backs star Ketel Marte,"
Randy Arozarena signed a one-year, $15.65MM contract with the Seattle Mariners for 2026, his final arbitration season before free agency. Acquired from the Rays at the 2024 trade deadline, Arozarena provided power and speed, slashing .238/.334/.426 in 2025 with a career-high 27 home runs and 31 steals. His wRC+ since joining Seattle is 122, reflecting strong performance in T-Mobile Park. He will occupy a top-of-the-order role alongside Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor. The Mariners remain active in pursuing additional hitters while managing arbitration cases and payroll flexibility.
