When the Mariners reacquired Mitch Haniger from the Giants last offseason in a multiplayer trade, the hope was that he might return to the form he had in 2021 and help provide offense for the team that helped him blossom into a big leaguer.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger has been released by the organization on Sunday. Haniger began his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2016, but was traded Seattle in 2017. He spent the next five seasons with the Mariners.

When the Mariners snapped the 20-year postseason drought in 2022, Haniger managed to get a hit in each of the team's five playoff games. The Mariners begin the season against the Athletics on March 27 at T-Mobile Park.
