The Seattle Mariners announced two roster decisions Tuesday, both of which were to be expected. The team has exercised its club option on the contract of Andrés Muñoz, and they have officially declined the $12 million mutual option on Mitch Garver’s contract.

News on the Garver decision was first reported Monday.

Muñoz is coming off a second straight All-Star season where he was among the best late-inning relievers in the game. In addition to pitching 8 1/3 scoreless innings in seven playoff appearances this year, Muñoz posted a career-low 1.73 ERA with career-best marks in appearances (64, tied with 2022), saves (38, third most in baseball), and home runs per nine innings (0.3).

The club option is the first of three included in the four-year, $7.5 million extension that Muñoz signed in November 2021, shortly after he returned from Tommy John surgery. Muñoz will receive the $6 million option plus an additional $1 million, which are four separate $250,000 bonuses for finishing 20, 30, 40 and 45 games in 2025.

The remaining club options for Muñoz are worth $8 million and $10 million in ’27 and ’28, plus similar bonuses for games finished that jump to $500,000 for each mark met.

In declining the $12 million mutual option on Garver’s contract, the Mariners will pay a $1 million buyout.

Jorge Polanco remains the only undecided Mariners player with an option for 2026. His decision on his $6 million player option is due by 2 p.m. Thursday, when the exclusive negotiating period expires and teams are free to negotiate with all free agents.

With the moves announced Tuesday, the Mariners’ 40-man roster is currently at 34, with players still needing to be returned from the injured list.
