## Resource

The Mariners’ first base has been a barren wasteland for homegrown talent—despite a history of developing stars elsewhere. While they’ve relied on trades and signings for power-hitting first basemen, their own prospects keep falling short, forcing costly fixes. With no top-30 prospect at the position and Josh Naylor locked in long-term, it’s time to fix the system from within—not just patch holes with free agents.
