Randy Arozarena's Potential Shift to Full-Time DH for Mariners Explored

The Seattle Mariners are considering a potential shift for Randy Arozarena to a full-time Designated Hitter role. In 2025, Arozarena showed strong hitting with a 90th percentile hard-hit rate but also high whiff and strikeout rates, alongside declining defense. While a proactive DH move could help maintain his offensive production and reduce physical wear, it's deemed unlikely in his contract year, especially given the Mariners' current outfield depth limitations and his potential to depress his own value.
