"Catcher Mitch Garver is headed into free agency after his mutual option with the Mariners was declined, according to an announcement by the Major League Baseball Players Association this morning."
"It's not clear who between Garver and the Mariners declined their end of the option, but either way Garver will be paid a $1MM buyout rather than a $12MM salary for 2026."
"More to come."
The Major League Baseball Players Association announced that Mitch Garver's mutual option with the Seattle Mariners was declined, sending Garver into free agency. The decision does not specify which side—Garver or the Mariners—declined their end of the mutual option. As a result of the option being declined, Garver will receive a $1 million buyout instead of the $12 million salary that would have applied for the 2026 season. The move alters Garver's contract status and makes him available to sign with any club during the upcoming free agent period. More details are expected.
