Dane Dunning signs minor league deal with Mariners after turbulent 2025

Pitcher Dane Dunning, after a tumultuous 2025 season that saw him take a 20% pay cut to $2.66 million with the Rangers, get DFA'd, outrighted, and bounce between AAA and MLB (5 G, 10.2 IP, 3.38 ERA), was traded to Atlanta for Jose Ruiz and cash. He continued to struggle with Atlanta (13 runs in 10 IP) before being waived. He recently signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners, hoping to regain the form that made him the Rangers' Pitcher of the Year in 2023.
