Haniger, Mariners agree to $3.01M deal, avoid arbitration

SEATTLE (AP) — Outfielder Mitch Haniger and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $3.01 million, one-year contract and avoided arbitration. Haniger did not play last season due to lingering issues from injuries suffered during the 2019 season. But the Mariners expect the former All-Star to be fully recovered and ready for the start of the 2021 season. The 29-year-old Haniger had his best year in 2018 when he hit .285 with 26 home runs and 93 RBIs and was selected to the All-Star team.
