The Seattle Mariners have made a major move to cut their payroll by shedding contracts, as announced by General Manager Jerry Dipoto. This move comes as the team looks to rebuild their roster and create more financial flexibility.
The Mariners have been looking to reduce their payroll for some time, and this move is part of that effort. The team has shed contracts for several players, including starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, reliever Shawn Armstrong, and outfielder Jarrod Dyson. These players were all due to make significant salaries in the upcoming season, and the Mariners have decided to part ways with them in order to free up some money.
The team has also decided to not offer contracts to several other players, including first baseman Ryon Healy, infielder Gordon Beckham, and outfielder Cameron Maybin. These players were all due to make significant salaries in the upcoming season, and the Mariners have decided to part ways with them in order to free up some money.
The move is a major one for the Mariners, as it will free up a lot of money that can be used to sign new players or extend the contracts of existing ones. It also gives the team more flexibility when it comes to making trades or signing free agents.
The move is part of a larger effort by the Mariners to rebuild their roster and create a more competitive team. The team has already made several moves this offseason, including signing free agent pitcher Yusei Kikuchi and trading for catcher Omar Narvaez.
It remains to be seen how successful the Mariners will be in their efforts to rebuild their roster and create a more competitive team. However, the move to shed contracts is a major one that will give the team more financial flexibility and open up new possibilities for the future.
