SEATTLE — Second baseman Jorge Polanco's $12 million option has been declined by the Seattle Mariners, who will pay a $750,000 buyout and allow him to become a free agent. Seattle also said infielder Luis Urías cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent. Polanco hit a career-low .213 with 16 homers and 45 RBIs this year. He was sidelined between May 26 and June 24 by a strained right hamstring. A 2019 All-Star, the 31-year-old Polanco has a .263 career average with 128 homers and 492 RBIs in 11 seasons with Minnesota and Seattle.
