Things have been remarkably quiet in Mariners world since Rob Refsnyder signed with the team, but there is still plenty to be gleaned from some action - or in some cases, lack thereof - around MLB during Christmas week.

After Mariners starter Bryce Miller dealt with a decline in production downstream of his elbow inflammation in 2025, what can be expected of the Texan right-hander? What might his role be in a 2026 team hungry for a championship?

The Seattle Mariners got a platoon righty in Rob Refsnyder on Monday, but will he finally be the answer against lefties that many others couldn’t provide? Perhaps more importantly, will the Mariners continue to build their offense over the winter?

While Seattle’s options are still quite open in the 2025 MLB winter meetings, some moves around the rest of the league have set the guiderails for what the Mariners can and can’t do when it comes to their offseason targets.

Josh Naylor, Jerry Dipoto, and Justin Hollander sat down for questions on Tuesday morning about the Mariners’ five-year deal to keep Naylor in Seattle. The conference was a display of confidence for a starving city and team.

The big news on Sunday evening is a good one for the Mariners, as the team has brought Josh Naylor back for five more years, accomplishing one of the team’s biggest priorities early on in the offseason.
