Mariners Bullpen Crisis Deepens

Seattle’s lineup is nearly whole again, but the bullpen remains a glaring weakness—with Matt Brash, Cooper Criswell, and Carlos Vargas all sidelined until late July. Brash’s lat injury sidelines a key setup man, forcing the Mariners to stretch thin resources and disrupt their six-man rotation. With Vargas out all season and Criswell’s absence limiting options, Seattle can’t afford to wait. They must aggressively pursue at least one, likely two, reliable relievers before the trade deadline to avoid a late-season collapse.
