## Resource

Seattle Mariners are surging with a 33-30 record, leading the AL West, but their offense still needs firepower. With veteran shortstop J.P. Crawford locked in for his final season and strong defensive stats, adding a new hitter is tricky—especially since the DH spot is the only open slot. Despite Crawford’s solid OBP and SLG, his defensive lapses don’t justify replacing him. The Mariners’ dilemma? Finding a way to boost offense without disrupting a deep, competitive roster.
