US EditionMike Vorel: Mariners Should Prioritize Present over Future at MLB Trade Deadline
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The Mariners aim to leverage a weak American League for a playoff push while the Diamondbacks seek young pitchers amid injuries and expiring contracts, according to team executives.
- The MLB trade deadline on July 31, 2025, arrives with the Seattle Mariners holding a 51-45 record and five All-Stars on their roster.
- The Mariners need to prioritize immediate roster improvements, especially adding a corner infielder, to avoid repeating near playoff misses seen in recent seasons.
- Seattle’s pitching depth has weakened as key members of the starting rotation have missed substantial time due to injuries, although Munoz has been a strong and reliable presence out of the bullpen.
- Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, with 31 home runs and 78 RBIs, is a leading trade target for multiple teams, including the Mariners.
- The Mariners face pressure to capitalize on current opportunities through trades rather than relying on hope or future prospects to secure playoff success.

They also had elite pitching from their rotation and bullpen (ironically, that’s also what cost them). Upgrades For The Marine…
