Despite arbitration raise, the Mariners are not considering trading Randy Arozarena due to relaxed payroll pressures.
President Jerry Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander strongly value Arozarena and are comfortable keeping him long term.
Postseason struggles drew attention, but officials emphasize his 27 homers, All-Star nod, and standout midsummer performance.
Arozarena is one year from free agency, represented by Boras Corp, and will enter his age-32 season.
While future negotiations remain unclear, the Mariners maintain strong interest in extending Arozarena beyond this season.
