The 25-year-old hurler finished the 2025 season as the Nationals’ closer. He compiled a 4.48 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 71/16 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings while securing 11 saves for the Nationals. He’ll add another talented weapon to the M’s bullpen, but he won’t be anywhere near the top of the pecking order in saves, which saps most of his fantasy value.

The textbook example of emergency pitching depth, Lawrence oscillated between Seattle’s bullpen and Triple-A Tacoma numerous times this past season, pitching to a respectable 3.00 ERA while gobbling up 15 innings over five long relief appearances. He also made one relief appearance for the Blue Jays in late April before returning to the Mariners. The 38-year-old journeyman is back as Seattle’s ultimate contingency plan — the arm you don’t expect to need, but are grateful to have when things go completely sideways.

Zuñiga returns as organizational relief depth for Seattle after latching on in early September after being cut loose by the Phillies. The 27-year-old, who didn’t appear in the majors last year, holds a pedestrian 5.03 ERA over 19 2/3 innings over 17 appearances in the big leagues since 2023.

Saucedo loses his spot on Seattle’s 40-man roster after the club picked up reliever Alex Hoppe in a trade with the Red Sox. The 32-year-old southpaw struggled to a calamitous 7.43 ERA over 13 1/3 inning across 10 appearances this past season in the majors.

Hoppe provides Seattle with some additional relief depth entering next season after posting a respectable 4.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 73/34 K/BB ratio across 61 1/3 innings over 44 appearances between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. The 26-year-old righty was a sixth-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft.

The deal is now official. Naylor returns to Seattle after a phenomenal postseason in which he hit .340 (16-for-47) with three homers and two steals across 12 games. The 28-year-old slugging first baseman is coming off the best all-around season of his career, slashing .295/.353/.462 with 20 homers, 92 RBI and a surprising 30 steals over 147 games between the Mariners and Diamondbacks. He’s an extremely challenging hitter to project given his volatile year-to-year power output and an out-of-nowhere spike in stolen bases after recording just 22 swipes combined over the previous three seasons. It’s worth noting that T-Mobile Park remains one of the toughest environments in baseball for left-handed power — though hitters like Naylor tend to treat park factors as optional suggestions rather than actual limitations. Even so, Naylor has firmly established himself as a top-10 fantasy first baseman heading into next season.

The move comes just 10 days after the Dodgers added Ortiz to the 40-man roster to prevent him from becoming a minor league free agent. Ortiz, who turns 26 in January, had a 2.73 ERA and a 72/33 K/BB in 59 1/3 innings split pretty evenly between high-A, Double-A and Triple-A last season. His mid-90s sinker and mid-80s slider might make him a decent MLB reliever, but he’ll probably open next season in Triple-A.

The Mariners lacked rotation depth beyond their big five last season, and addressing that should be an in the plans for this winter. Dobnak, who debuted with the Twins in 2019 but has barely pitched in the majors the last four years, doesn’t really qualify as a quality fallback at this point — he had a 5.84 ERA in Triple-A last season — but maybe Seattle sees something for him to work on.

Since debuting with the Cardinals in 2024, Loutos has given up 17 earned runs and struck out eight in 12 innings as a major leaguer. He’ll probably wind up back on waivers later this winter, but if not, he’ll battle for a bullpen spot in spring training.

Wilcox was the last of the four players from the Blake Snell trade with the Padres still with the Rays. He made just one major league appearance for the team, giving up seven runs — three earned — in one inning in September. In Triple-A, he showed improved velocity, averaging 95.8 mph with his fastball, and had a 3.70 ERA and a 63/27 K/BB in 58 1/3 innings. He’ll be a long shot to claim a bullpen spot out of spring training.

Just turning 27 in January, Muñoz would have co-headlined this year’s reliever class with Edwin Díaz had he not signed a long-term deal as a 22-year-old. He’ll get about one-third of his fair-market value next year, and the Mariners will still have club options on him for $8 million in 2027 and $10 million in 2028. At least he can earn up to an extra $2 million next year based on games finished.

Garver had a $12 million mutual option for 2026, but he will instead be paid $1 million and become a free agent. It was a rough stretch for Garver as a Mariner, hitting .187/.290/.341 in 720 plate appearances with 24 home runs and a nearly 30 percent strikeout rate over two seasons. He might find a bidder as a potential designated hitter.

Miller will have a follow-up appointment this offseason with Dr. Keith Meister to determine his next steps after requiring multiple trips to the injured list last season due to elbow inflammation. He managed to make it back for the final six weeks of the regular season after being diagnosed with a bone spur in his elbow back in June. The 27-year-old righty finished with an underwhelming 5.68 ERA and 74/34 K/BB ratio across 90 1/3 innings over 18 starts this past season after posting a stellar 2.94 ERA across 180 1/3 frames over 31 starts during a breakthrough campaign back in 2024. He’ll likely receive another cortisone injection and figures to be ready for the outset of spring training. It’s a relief for fantasy managers that he’ll avoid a surgical procedure, but it makes the issue worth monitoring at the outset of camp next spring.

President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto and skipper Dan Wilson also noted their desire to bring Naylor back. Hollander also explained that Naylor seemed to enjoy his time with the Mariners, “Everything I got from him was that he really liked it here… Josh just got two months plus the playoffs of what Seattle is like as a sports town. … He’s a really good dude and I really do think he liked it here a lot.” The 28-year-old slugger is hitting the free agent market for the first time following an outstanding season in which he slashed .295/.353/.462 with 20 homers, 92 RBI and a career-high 30 stolen bases in 604 plate appearances between the M’s and Diamondbacks. He’ll be one of the most highly coveted players available on the market this winter.

It looked like Raleigh was going to get his signature October moment when he took Blue Jays workhorse reliever Louis Varland deep in the fifth inning to extend Seattle’s lead to 3-1 at the time. It was his fifth round-tripper of the postseason. Unfortunately, the Mariners’ bullpen was unable to preserve the lead and Raleigh was left in the on-deck circle when teammate Julio Rodríguez went down swinging in the ninth inning to end the series. It was a gut-wrenching loss for the Mariners as they fall just shy of making the World Series for the first time in the franchise’s 49-year history.

Rodríguez poked a double down the left-field line against Toronto starter Shane Bieber to open the contest before Josh Naylor delivered a run-scoring single to right field to put Seattle ahead. He took Bieber deep in the third inning for his fourth big fly of the postseason. It wouldn’t be enough as the Mariners’ bullpen coughed up the lead in the late stages of the contest and Rodríguez wound up striking out against Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman to end it.

Woo came out of the bullpen to protect a two-run lead in the fifth inning and needed just 28 pitches to navigate two scoreless frames. His most impressive moment came when he fanned Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a hard-biting sweeper following a nine-pitch battle. Things unraveled in the ensuing frame when he issued a leadoff walk to Addison Barger and a single to light-hitting Isiah Kiner-Falefa before being lifted with one out. He was charged with both runs when teammate Eduard Bazardo served up a go-ahead homer to George Springer.

Kirby served up a run-scoring single to Daulton Varsho with two outs in the opening frame but managed to keep Toronto off the scoreboard for the remainder of his outing. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. The 27-year-old righty was long gone from the contest before Seattle’s late-inning collapse.

Naylor, who is batting .341 (15-for-44) with three homers this postseason, has been moved up in Seattle’s lineup with Jorge Polanco dropped to the cleanup spot as they attempt to make the World Series for the first time in the franchise’s 49-year history. The only other significant change involves Victor Robles in right field instead of Dominc Canzone. Here’s the full lineup: Julio Rodríguez (CF), Cal Raleigh (C), Naylor (1B), Polanco (DH), Randy Arozarena (LF), Eugenio Suárez (3B), J.P. Crawford (SS), Leo Rivas (2B) and Robles (RF).

They’d be on two days’ rest after Woo threw 28 pitches and Miller threw 56 in Game 5 on Friday. Woo, who was making his first appearance in nearly four weeks after recovering from pectoral inflammation, would seem to be far more likely than Miller to pitch in the game, with Miller perhaps becoming more of an option if extra innings are involved. The Mariners will have George Kirby start the game, with Game 4 starter Luis Castillo also surely available to take over at any point.

If this had been a do-or-die game, we imagine Gilbert would have been out after the second, when he allowed one earned and one unearned run. As is, he stayed in to give up two runs with his velocity down significantly in the third. His velocity bounced back in a scoreless fourth, but he was pulled after giving up a homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to start the fifth. Even accounting for the fact that the Mariners only needed to win one game in two days, leaving Gilbert into start the fifth seems like malpractice on Dan Wilson’s behalf. Squeezing those extra innings out of Gilbert might help the Mariners in Game 7, but it certainly hurt the cause tonight.

Well, hopefully he got all of that out of his system. Raleigh’s one instance of contact was the double play ball with the bases loaded on the first pitch of his at-bat against Trey Yesavage in the third. It was his first GIDP of the postseason and his first ever with the bases loaded since he debuted in 2021.

The Game 5 revamp worked out pretty darn well, so the Mariners are running it back tonight. The lineup: Rodríguez (CF), Cal Raleigh (C), Jorge Polanco (DH), Josh Naylor (1B), Randy Arozarena (LF), Eugenio Suárez (3B), J.P. Crawford (SS), Dominic Canzone (RF) and Leo Rivas (2B).

No surprise here. Gilbert gets the ball with a chance to send the Mariners to the World Series for the first time in their 49-year history to face the defending champion Dodgers. The 28-year-old allowed three runs and was lifted after just 58 pitches on Monday in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series. He’ll take the ball on Sunday evening opposite Blue Jays rookie phenom Trey Yesavage at the Rogers Centre for the biggest start of his career.

With the Mariners in danger of falling 3-2, Raleigh dumped a pitch from Brendon Little into the left field bleachers to tie the game. Seattle ended up scoring the next four on a Eugenio Suárez grand slam, and it gives Seattle the one-game cushion in the series. A chance for Raleigh to add to his postseason homer total — four so far — and a chance to clinch a trip to the World Series comes Sunday in Toronto.

The biggest homer in Mariners history? With the bases loaded and no out in the bottom of the eighth, Suárez went the other way to give Seattle a 6-2 lead and ultimately a 3-2 lead in the series. His other homer was a pulled shot off Kevin Gausman that gave the Mariners a 1-0 lead in the second. With the win, Seattle is now one win away from their first Fall Classic trip in franchise history. Suárez has been terrible for the overwhelming majority of the postseason, but few are capable of providing long balls more than his right-handed bat.

Miller walked two and struck out four. He had to escape several jams, including one with bases loaded and nobody out in the fourth. He threw 10 innings against the Blue Jays, and allowed only two runs in that timeframe. The 27-year-old threw 63 pitches, so it’s very possible Miller could be available for Game 7 — if necessary — against Toronto on Monday.

Rivas started in Game 4 with Victor Robles shifting to the bench and that’s the same alignment that the M’s will use against Kevin Gausman on Friday evening. Here’s the full lineup: Julio Rodríguez (CF), Cal Raleigh (C), Jorge Polanco (DH), Josh Naylor (1B), Randy Arozarena (LF), Eugenio Suárez (3B), J.P. Crawford (SS), Dominic Canzone (RF) and Rivas (2B).

Naylor put Seattle ahead in the early stages of the contest with a second-inning big fly against Toronto starter Max Scherzer. It was his second round-tripper of the playoffs. The 28-year-old impending free agent wound up reaching base safely in all four of his plate appearances in the relatively one-sided affair. The Mariners will attempt to get back on track on Friday night when they square off in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series.
