It's going to be a long offseason full of decisions for the Seattle Mariners and they reportedly got an easy one out of the way on Tuesday. MLB.com's Daniel Kramer reported that the Mariners are picking up two-time All-Star Andrés Muñoz's $7 million option for the 2026 season.

The Braves won the World Series in 2021, but notably did so without Ronald Acuña Jr. playing. Acuña has since won an MVP Award, but has also torn his ACL again. When healthy, he is one of the best players in the world, but he has not been able to stay healthy consistently.

Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 232 pounds, Wilcox has the typical frame of a power righty, and his average sinker velocity of 96.6 mph in his one major league outing this season was in line with his typical game logs at Triple-A Durham. He also has a slider and a sweeper, which are both about 10 mph slower than his fastball.

The Mariners have acquired right-hander Cole Wilcox from the Rays in exchange for cash considerations, per announcements from both clubs. The righty had been designated for assignment by the Rays earlier in the week. The M’s had 40-man space thanks to players recently becoming free agents.
