PEORIA, Ariz. — The Seattle Mariners have released Mitch Haniger after the veteran outfielder was hampered by left shoulder soreness during spring training. The 34-year-old Haniger was in his second stint with Seattle. He has a $15.5 million salary for this season after agreeing to a $43.5 million, three-year contract with San Francisco in December 2022. Haniger made his big league debut with Arizona in 2016 and was traded to Seattle after the season. He had a breakout performance in 2021, hitting .253 with a career-high 39 homers and 100 RBIs in 157 games. But he hasn't been able to reach that production since that season.
