As the Mariners gear up for the regular season, they enter with minimal roster changes this offseason, the most notable being the addition of veteran Donovan Solano. Despite recent postseason misses, the team is well-positioned for the future thanks to an elite rotation featuring young pitchers like Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Bryce Miller, which they aim to retain long-term. This strategy aligns with their organizational philosophy of prioritizing homegrown talent, as shown by recent contract extensions to players like Cal Raleigh.
Even after a quiet offseason, the Mariners maintain a strong position for 2025, thanks to a young, elite starting rotation of homegrown talents.
