Haniger was able to avoid the injured list in 2024 after missing most of the previous two seasons due to injuries, but he played in just 121 games due to his ineffectiveness at the plate. He hit 12 home runs but had a .208/.286/.334 slash line and career-worst 29.8 percent strikeout rate. Haniger is under contract for $17.5 million in 2025 and is likely to see some opportunities early in the season to see if he can bounce back, but the Mariners aren't likely to have as much patience in the final year of his deal. He popped 39 homers with Seattle back in 2021, but he's otherwise been largely unavailable or unproductive over the past few years. Read Past Outlooks
