Mariners pick up Andres Munoz contract, but declines 2 other options

On to the 2026-27 offseason! The Seattle Mariners are keeping closer Andrés Muñoz for another season but moving on from starting pitcher Bryce Miller and outfielder Victor Robles after declining their respective options , according to Bob Nightengale. Seattle exercised Muñoz’s $9 million option, ensuring one of the most reliable relievers in baseball remains in its bullpen. The right-hander has established himself as a key part of the Mariners’ pitching staff, making the decision to retain him an understandable move as the club looks to remain competitive. Muñoz gives Seattle an experienced closer capable of handling high-pressure situations.
