The Seattle Mariners have been a team of intrigue over the past few seasons, consistently flirting with playoff contention but never quite sealing the deal. With the latest ZiPS projections for 2025 now available, it raises some interesting questions about their future.
First off, can the Mariners finally break through the 90-win barrier? They've been stuck in the 85-90 win range for years, and while consistency is commendable, it begs the question: is this the ceiling for this franchise? With Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh leading the charge, do you think they have what it takes to elevate their game and push for a division title in a competitive AL West?
Moreover, the projections suggest that while the Mariners have a solid rotation, the depth is a concern. If injuries strike, how do you see the team coping? Is there enough talent in the minors to step up, or are they one injury away from a significant drop-off?
And what about the offense? The lineup is described as fine but underwhelming. With the potential for some key additions this offseason, what bold moves do you think the Mariners should make to inject some excitement into their batting order? Should they take risks on high-upside players, or focus on solidifying their current roster?
Lastly, with the Mariners' history of near-misses, do you think they are destined to remain a just okay team, or can they finally break the mold and become a true contender? Share your thoughts, predictions, and any experiences you have with teams that have faced similar crossroads. Let's dive into the Mariners' future and what it could mean for the landscape of the AL!
