Mariners' 2026 arbitration projections trigger fears of another salary dump

The Mariners will have to give a few of their stars significant pay raises in 2026, according to new arbitration estimates from MLB Trade Rumors.

Randy Arozarena will unsurprisingly have the highest price tag, at $18.2 million. The outfielder has one more year until he reaches free agency, and that's a significant raise on the $11.3 million he made this season.

Also getting significant raises are Logan Gilbert and George Kirby. Gilbert is projected to get $10 million, Kirby projected to get $5.4 million. They earned $7.63 and $4.3 million this season, respectively.
