The Mariners are off to Texas for one last road trip in 2024, likely needing to sweep both the Rangers and Astros for a chance at the postseason. Ty and Colby discuss where things stand for Seattle, discuss why Bryce Miller and Luke Raley have provided major positive takeaways heading into 2025, and how the team might approach addressing third base this winter.

  1. Ke'Bryan Hayes is a name at 3rd I’m kinda interested in case Pittsburgh gives up on him but we can’t take a chance on a guy who could hit he has all the talent and just one of the best gloves in baseball but has never really shown he can hit so can’t really risk it when our window is closing

  2. Are there any 3B that you can reasonably get for less than $12m? Why not take Polanco's option and move him to third? Maybe he bounces back to form. Maybe we can trade for someone with club control, and we can at least flip him for decent-ish prospects or a bullpen arm. An unpopular opinion, I know, but at least worth considering.

  3. None of the 3rd base options sound all that promising. I don’t suppose poor man Stanton would consider bringing back Geno. Even if they didn’t consider position and production, they REALLY need to consider team chemistry and stop messing that up. People matter. If Santana was there last year, they probably make the playoffs again. If Geno was there this year, they probably make the playoffs even if he only contributed the same number of RBIs as Rojas/Urias.
