The Mariners’ roster maintenance continued on Tuesday with three arbitration eligible players coming off the 40-man roster and another key player from the past two seasons opting for a new opportunity.
Right-handed relievers Anthony Bass and Matt Wisler were claimed off waivers while outfielder Keon Broxton declined his outright to Class AAA Tacoma and elected free agency. Meanwhile, first baseman Ryon Healy, who was outrighted to Class AAA Tacoma on Monday, also declined his outright assignment and opted for free agency.
Healy was the Mariners’ every-day first baseman in 2018 and the opening day third baseman in 2019 due to Kyle Seager’s hand injury.
