Sources: Mariners have declined 2022 option for longtime third baseman Kyle Seager

According to Ryan Divish, a Seattle Times staff reporter, it looks like the Seattle Marines have not surprisingly declined the 2022 option for longtime their baseman Kyle Seager. "Multiple Major League Baseball sources confirmed that Seager received official notification that the Mariners would not exercise his 2022 option in an email from assistant general manager Justin Hollander on Thursday. Multiple team sources and another MLB source said general manager Jerry Dipoto did attempt to notify Seager via phone call and text message Wednesday that the organization was declining the option. And when Seager couldn’t be reached, Dipoto informed Andrew Lowenthal, Seager’s representative at Jet Sports, instead and that the email was just a formality." Click here to read the full article.
