The Seattle Mariners missed the postseason for a second straight season in 2024 after finishing with a record of 85-77.
Although the Mariners have had four consecutive winning seasons, they have made the playoffs once in those seasons, which resulted in them being swept in the American League Division Series.
To make matters worse, that was the Mariners’ only postseason trip in the past 23 seasons.
Seattle came into this offseason looking to make some moves, and MLB analyst Jon Morosi recently revealed that they have interest in Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm.
“The Mariners, yes, are one of the teams that have spoken to the Phillies about him,” Morosi said, via MLB Network.

Bohm made his MLB debut with the Phillies in 2020 and has played all five years of his career with them.
Morosi mentions that the Phillies want to shake up their lineup for next season, and Bohm is one of their everyday players they are willing to move.
Bohm played 143 games for the Phillies in 2024 and batted .280 with 15 home runs, 97 RBIs and a .779 OPS.
Morosi also mentions that trades may be a better idea than free agents for the Mariners as their stadium can be one of the tougher places to hit.
The Mariners are still seeking the first World Series title in franchise history after playing their inaugural season in 1977.
With their last American League West title coming back in 2001, the Mariners have some work to do this offseason if they want to contend for a championship.
