The Seattle Mariners started the offseason with a bang when they signed Josh Naylor to a five-year, $92.5 million contract, which was met with almost universal praise by the fanbase. Since then, that same fanbase has been waiting for another big move, to provide more encouragement that the organization is committed to building on arguably the best season in franchise history.
As this wait continues, fans can be forgiven for feeling a bit anxious about what the Mariners will do next. Not helping with this anxiety is Jorge Polanco's decision to sign with the New York Mets despite his preference to remain in Seattle, combined with the likelihood that fan favorite Eugenio Suárez will also not be back in the Pacific Northwest next season.
