Despite what Jerry Dipoto might believe about the state of his team (hint: he's a lot like that meme of a dog sitting in the middle of a burning room saying "this is fine"), the Mariners have work to do in the offseason. They were so painfully close to that last Wild Card spot by the end of the season, missing out by a single game and putting up a great last-effort surge as the year came to a close, but they're going to need an addition or two to actually get them across that line in 2025.
