3 Mariners prospects who should be trade bait ahead of 2025 deadline
The Seattle Mariners are poised to be active at the 2025 trade deadline. We break down three top prospects who could be on the move if Seattle looks to fuel a World Series run.
The Seattle Mariners have stormed into the 2025 season with momentum on their side — and with every intention of making a serious postseason push.
Despite navigating early injuries and a rotation patched together with the absence of Logan Gilbert and George Kirby, the Mariners aren’t treating these hurdles as setbacks. Instead, they’ve leaned into a “next man up” mentality, grinding out clutch victories and keeping themselves at the top of the AL West.
If history is any indication, Seattle isn’t going to sit back and hope the good times keep rolling on their own. When the Mariners see a window to contend as the season takes shape, they’ve shown they’re more than willing to take big swings at the trade deadline.
Just look at recent years: the franchise-changing deal for Luis Castillo in 2022, the bold move to acquire Randy Arozarena in 2024, and the savvy waiver claim of Victor Robles — all clear signals that this front office knows how to shift into attack mode.
With the Mariners once again shaping up as a postseason threat, don’t be surprised if they get aggressive at the trade deadline. The question is: which prospects might they be willing to move to land another impact bat or bolster their rotation?
