With the World Series now over, it's onto the offseason for the Seattle Mariners.

And with the conclusion of the World Series, four M's players officially became free agents: Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suarez, Caleb Ferguson and Luke Jackson.

While each of those four players is a free agent, there is a five-day period where they can only negotiate with the Mariners.

After that five days, they are free to sign with any team, including Seattle.

It should also be noted that Mitch Garver had his mutual option declined, though it's unclear as to which side declined it. He'll get a $1 million buyout now and is also a free agent. Jorge Polanco has a player option that he is still undecided on.

For many people, the 28-year-old is the key to the Mariners offseason. A first baseman who the Mariners acquired at the trade deadline from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Naylor was excellent in Seattle. He hit .299 in 54 games and has spoken positively about hitting at T-Mobile Park.

He had three home runs in the American League Championship Series and stole 19 bases for Seattle, showing a toughness, a leadership and a baseball IQ that the M's - and fans - value.

There will be other suitors for his services, with first base needy teams like the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox potentially also involved.

Suarez returned to the Mariners in a trade from the D'backs as well and he did exactly what he does. He was streaky at the plate, hitting only .189 in 53 games, but he did have 13 home runs. Furthermore, he hit .308 in the ALCS, smacking two home runs, one of which was among the biggest in franchise history.

He's 34 and will be 35 in July, so he's ticketed for a short-term deal. He no longer plays great defense and that streakiness at the plate could affect his value, but his 49 home runs from this season are very real.

The Mariners could certainly be interested in bringing him back, but other third base needy teams potentially in competition for his services include the Detroit Tigers and Red Sox.

Acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates at the deadline, Ferguson struggled in Seattle. Brought in to help Gabe Speier in the left-handed reliever role, he never really got it going fully. He had a 3.27 ERA in 25 games with the Mariners, which is solid enough on the surface, but he did struggle in big moments, and he was virtually non-existent in the playoffs. He threw 2.2 innings, giving up five earned runs.

The 34-year-old Jackson made 10 appearances for Seattle at the end of the season, pitching to a 2.38 ERA. A solid clubhouse presence, he gave up one earned run in three innings of playoff work.

Garver signed a two-year, $24 million with the Mariners before the 2024 season and it just didn't work out as both sides had hoped. The plan was for him to be the team's starting designated hitter but by midway through 2024, he became the team's backup catcher. He hit just .187 in two years for the M's, blasting 24 home runs and driving in 81 runs. He did provide value against left-handed pitching and with the pitching staff, but not enough to justify the contract.

There is a chance that the Mariners could bring him back on a lesser deal, or they could turn that role over to Harry Ford.
