Seattle Mariners Will Have Multiple Top-40 Picks in 2025 MLB Draft

The Seattle Mariners are still looking to finalize the starting lineup for when Opening Day arrives on March 27.
The upcoming major league season is the first priority for the Mariners. But regardless how the first several months of the season goes, the franchise will be in a good place for the 2025 MLB Draft, which takes place July 13 in Atlanta.
Seattle, despite having one of the worst odds at landing a high selection, claimed the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 Draft via the draft lottery, which took place during the MLB Winter Meetings in early December.
The Mariners were also awarded a Competitive Balance draft pick for the upcoming draft.
After many transactions league-wide throughout the offseason, the draft order for 2025 was finalized. And FSS Plus reporter and minor league guru Joe Doyle shared it:

Seattle committed heavily to drafting pitchers in the 2024 draft. In 2025, position players such as Ethan Holliday and Jace LaViolette both could be available given the team's premium pick.
The Competitive Balance slot could also be valuable for the team in the trade market. The Diamondbacks acquired All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor from the Guardians via a package that included the former's own Competitive Balance draft selection.
Whatever direction the Mariners go, they'll be in a good spot when the draft rolls around to accomplish what they want to do.
