The Seattle Mariners have opted not to exercise Jorge Polanco's $12 million contract option, resulting in a $750,000 buyout and his transition to free agency. Polanco, who struggled this season with a .213 batting average, previously made the All-Star team in 2019.

Additionally, infielder Luis Urías has cleared waivers and chosen to become a free agent after a disappointing season where he hit .191 over 41 games.
