Is time running out on the Seattle Mariners?
After reaching Game 7 of the ALCS last season, the Mariners, under the direction of president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto, retain a "win now" approach, despite their right-handed hitting struggles.
If there's one player the organization needs to add to remain in the AL West pennant chase, Boston Red Sox first baseman Wilson Contreras likely will continue to be heavily scouted.
The first-place Mariners (44-43), who entered Thursday tied with the Texas Rangers, need to enhance their right-handed hitting threats. They ranked last with an 80wRC+ versus left-handed pitchers.
