As the MLB free agency period approaches, outfielder Randy Arozarena is projected as a potential target for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks currently have established outfielders in Lars Nootbaar, Corbin Carroll, and Ryan Waldschmidt, suggesting Arozarena would likely fill a designated hitter role if signed. Despite the external interest, the Seattle Mariners are also considered a candidate to retain the outfielder. Seattle faces a potential roster deficit if Arozarena departs, as the team would need to acquire multiple middle-of-the-order bats to address offensive struggles. Arozarena has recorded 8.0 fWAR since joining the Mariners in 2024 and maintains a career batting average of.254 with 140 home runs. Decisions from either club remain pending as both teams evaluate their respective lineup needs heading into the offseason.
