For the first time in 20 years, the Seattle Mariners are on top of the AL West! Well, sort of: they still share the division lead with the Texas Rangers after their win over the Royals. Still, this is the first time since 2003 that Seattle has had a taste of the division lead. They might be sharing the crown right now, but they’ll do everything to take it for themselves.</p><p>After the win, star shortstop JP Crawford <a href="https://twitter.com/shannondrayer/status/1695319132781330638" rel="noopener">cited a Mariners legend</a> in his post-game interview, per Shannor Drayer. Crawford quoted Jay Buhner’s iconic “postseason” quote, and said that Seattle will be doing the same thing, albeit one game at a time.</p><p>“JP Crawford in walkoff interview on the #Mariners in 1st place, “Like Jay Buhner once said, forget the Wild Card, man. We’re going for the division but we still have a lot of games to go. We gotta keep the way we are playing now, keep focused and take it one day at a time.”</p><p>There was a time where the division seemed to be well out of reach for the Mariners. At one point, they were 10 games behind the leaders of the AL West. It felt like the only way to return to the playoffs was through the Wild Card round. Now, Seattle has a real chance of earning a home playoff game for the first time in ages.</p><p>It certainly isn’t going to be an easy task. The Rangers are still on fire, and you can never count out the Houston Astros. Still, with the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mariners-news-scott-servais-gets-100-real-about-secret-behind-seattles-scorching-stretch" rel="noopener"> form</a> that the Mariners have had recently, they have a real shot in taking the AL West.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although J.P. Crawford is Seattle’s shortstop of the future, MLB Network’s <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBNetwork/status/1590475570294292481" rel="noopener">Jon Morosi said</a> the Mariners may still pursue middle infield options such as Trea Turner or Xander Bogaerts.</p><p>“I don’t believe that free agent is going to be Aaron Judge,” Morosi said. “And so we look to the middle infield. And this is where specifically Xander Bogaerts and Trea Turner could become really unique possibilities for the Mariners. Now they have said that J.P. Crawford is their shortstop. They’ve also said that for the right player, they’re open to considering additional alternatives.”</p><p>Morosi added that the Mariners’ lineup would look “dynamic” with Trea Turner and Julio Rodriguez atop the batting order.</p><p>The Mariners would obviously need to decide who their shortstop would be in this scenario. Trea Turner has experience at second base, but would likely prefer to play shortstop. The same can be said for Xander Bogaerts. As for the other two star shortstop free agency options, Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson, they don’t have much experience at second base.</p><p>Trea Turner seems like the best fit for the Mariners based on Morosi’s report. However, Trea Turner <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/trea-turner-free-agency-3-best-destinations-for-star-shortstop" rel="noopener">profiles well with a number of different ball clubs</a>. He has emerged as one of the most all-around talented players in baseball over the past few seasons and will draw no shortage of interest in MLB free agency.</p><p>But the Mariners seem destined to make a major addition this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
