The Seattle Mariners exercised their $6 million club option for All-Star closer Andres Munoz for the 2026 season, per multiple reports Tuesday.
Munoz, 26, unlocked four $250,000 incentives during the 2025 season to bring his compensation for next season to $7 million. He finished with 38 saves and a career-low 1.73 ERA for the American League West champions.
The Mariners also hold team options of $8 million in 2027 and $10 million in 2028 for Munoz, one of the game's top young relievers.
Munoz made seven appearances for Seattle during the 2025 postseason, recording two saves without allowing a run. He struck out five and allowed two hits and two walks in 8 1/3 innings as the Mariners advanced to the American League Championship Series, losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games.
The two-time All-Star right-hander is 13-23 with 78 saves and a 2.43 ERA in 263 career games (no starts) with the San Diego Padres (2019) and Mariners. Munoz has struck out 354 batters in 259 1/3 innings.
