flag The Mariners kept aging catcher Mitch Garver on their 2026 Opening Day roster despite poor play, due to a $1 million deal and inability to send him to the minors.

flag The Seattle Mariners have included catcher Mitch Garver on their 2026 Opening Day roster despite his recent decline in performance and a poor spring training. flag Garver, 35, signed a $1 million deal and cannot be sent to the minors, forcing the team to keep him on the 26-man roster. flag His return, while puzzling given his .187/.290/.341 slash and below-average defense over the past two seasons, may reflect a preference for veteran presence over production. flag The decision raises concerns about catching depth, especially with Cal Raleigh expected to play more innings and Jorge Polanco’s absence. flag Other notable MLB developments include Hunter Greene undergoing elbow surgery, likely missing July, the Rangers signing Andrew McCutchen to a minor league deal, and MLB suspending Jurickson Profar for 162 games due to a PED violation.
