Decisions: Buyers or Sellers?

The Mariners currently sit at a 55-58 record and in contention for the last wild card playoff spot. They sit two games behind the Cleveland Guardians. With their status in limbo, they’ll need to decide whether to add and continue pushing for that playoff spot or sell off and gear up for the future.

That is where Arozarena’s name comes into the fold. Arozarena signed just a 1-year, $15.65 million contract with Seattle. With his expiring deal, he’ll be able to walk as a free agent this offseason for free if Seattle doesn't deal him for value.

ESPN’s Buster Olney touched on the Mariners decision to sell or not with Arozarena ther only Seattle player mentioned.

“The Mariners are in such an interesting spot because the team seems to be performing below expectations. So Seattle is assessing whether it's better to do a partial sell-off and take advantage of the need for right-handed hitting, which is why it's listening to offers on free-agent-to-be Randy Arozarena.”

Something to keep in mind is Seattle’s schedule to finish the season. The Mariners have 16 series remaining this season, with seven of them coming against teams with an above a .500 record, including the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, and Boston Red Sox to name a few.

The MLB trade deadline hits Monday at 6:00 p.m. ET.
