The Seattle Mariners are a professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. As the 2021 Major League Baseball season approaches, the Mariners have been busy filling out their roster and securing contracts for their players.

One of the most significant contracts signed by the Mariners this offseason was with outfielder Mitch Haniger. Haniger, who missed the entire 2020 season due to injury, signed a one-year deal worth $3.01 million. The Mariners are hoping that Haniger can return to his pre-injury form, where he was an All-Star and one of the team`s best players.

The Mariners also signed starting pitcher James Paxton to a one-year, $8.5 million deal. Paxton, who played for the Mariners from 2013-2018, returns to the team after a two-year stint with the New York Yankees.

In addition to Haniger and Paxton, the Mariners signed a number of other players to contracts for the 2021 season. This includes relief pitcher Rafael Montero, who was acquired in a trade with the Texas Rangers, and infielder Ty France, who was acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres.

One notable player who did not receive a contract extension from the Mariners is third baseman Kyle Seager. Seager, who has been with the Mariners since 2011, has a club option for the 2022 season but did not receive a multi-year deal.

Overall, the Mariners have made a number of moves this offseason to strengthen their roster. While the team is not expected to compete for a playoff spot in 2021, they are hoping that these signings will help set them up for success in the future.
