The Seattle Mariners seek to strengthen their bullpen ahead of the 2027 season, focusing on high-leverage relievers. With Randy Arozarena and J.P. Crawford set to hit free agency, the team also faces potential gaps in left field and third base. Despite a 5.80 ERA from July 1 through the end of the season, Seattle's bullpen could improve with returning players such as Seranthony Dominguez and a healthy Matt Brash. The team has approximately $30-35 million available in payroll but may face challenges competing for top-level relievers, including Raisel Iglesias and David Bednar, due to market demand.
