Mariners release LHP Aríel Miranda to pursue professional opportunity in Japan

Stefen Romero, Anthony Bass, Arquimedes Caminero, Seth Frankoff, Andrew Albers. That’s the list of Mariners released from pre-arb contracts by the Mariners since Jerry Dipoto took over to allow them to pursue international professional opportunities. We can now add LHP Aríel Miranda to that list.

This move comes on the heels of a somewhat surprising contract extension for LHP Wade LeBlanc.
