Mariners Exercise Andrés Muñoz's $9 Million Contract Option

The Seattle Mariners have officially exercised reliever Andrés Muñoz's $9 million contract option for the upcoming season, preventing the late-inning right-hander from entering free agency. Muñoz remains a core high-leverage arm for Seattle's bullpen strategy as the team secures key pitching depth ahead of the off-season. By picking up the option, the Mariners ensure Muñoz will stay anchored in their relief corps rather than exploring open market opportunities this winter.
