The Seattle Mariners are looking to improve further after authoring a 90-72 season, their best mark since 2003, and advancing to the ALDS.

Jerry Dipoto said his "great preference" this offseason "would be to land a shortstop that would like to play second base."

There are four star shortstops that are expected to be free agents next month -- Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa, Dansby Swanson and Trea Turner.
