Mariners target Ian Happ as Arozarena expected to leave
Summary

The Seattle Mariners are reportedly looking to replace Randy Arozarena, who may leave for a deal on the East Coast. With Arozarena not expected to return, the Mariners are interested in outfielder Ian Happ, a four-time Gold Glove winner, to improve their defense. New manager Jason Kanzler's previous ties to Happ, who has spent 10 seasons with the Cubs, make him a viable candidate. Despite declining offensive numbers since his All-Star season in 2022, Happ could provide veteran leadership for the Mariners as they seek to rebound after missing the postseason this year.
