Randy Arozarena MLB free agency prospects

Overview

Following a strong 2026 season with the Seattle Mariners, outfielder Randy Arozarena is approaching Major League Baseball free agency. Arozarena recorded a .281 average, 26 home runs, and 26 stolen bases during his tenure.

Market projections for his next contract vary, with estimates ranging from a five-year, $115 million deal to upwards of $125 million over five or six seasons. His representatives are also expected to seek a no-trade clause. While the Mariners may extend a qualifying offer to remain eligible for compensatory draft picks, they are considered unlikely to match the long-term financial commitments offered by other clubs.

Several teams have been linked to the outfielder, including the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Toronto Blue Jays. Potential suitors are weighing his high offensive production against concerns regarding his age and the significant cost of a contract.
