The Mariners extended Arozarena a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Arozarena had a career year in his contract season and was one of the lone regulars in the Seattle lineup to be a consistent producer. He'll turn 32 years old prior to the start of the 2027 campaign and is coming off a 2026 campaign in which he slashed .281/.381/.484 with 26 home runs, 79 RBI, 113 runs scored, 26 stolen bases and a 68:145 BB:K across 670 trips to the plate. His 113 runs scored and .865 OPS were both career highs. Arozarena is one of the premier free-agent outfielders this offseason.

Shook elected free agency Monday after clearing waivers.

Shook will search for an opportunity elsewhere after choosing to become a free agent. He made his big-league debut in 2026 but struggled to a 8.22 ERA and 1.83 WHIP with seven strikeouts and two walks in 7.2 innings out of the bullpen.

The Twins extended Jeffers a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

This was a no-brainer for Minnesota after Jeffers posted an .814 OPS with 14 homers and 56 RBI across 369 plate appearances last season. He missed a chunk of the season with a fractured hamate bone and slashed just .231/.317/.410 across his final 55 games after returning from the injury. Jeffers has until Nov. 17 to accept or decline the qualifying offer.

The Astros exercised Paredes' $13.35 club option for the 2027 season Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Paredes appeared in a career-high 155 regular-season games in 2026 and slashed .262/.360/.447 with 25 home runs, 94 RBI, 69 runs scored and 71:88 BB:K across 659 plate appearances. Paredes entered spring training last February as the projected odd man out in the Astros' infield, but Carlos Correa ended up missing most of the season with an ankle injury that required surgery, opening up the hot corner for Paredes.

The Red Sox designated Kelly (elbow) for assignment on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Kelly spent most of the second half of the regular season on the 60-day injured list for the Red Sox. He appeared in 17 games out of Boston's bullpen prior to the injury, recording a 3.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

The Orioles extended Rogers a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday.

After being nearly unhittable during the 2025 season en route to a 1.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings, Rogers struggled for a good portion of the 2026 campaign. Across 30 starts, the left-hander recorded a 4.03 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 157:39 K:BB spanning 169.2 innings. The 30 starts did mark a new career-high for the soon-to-be 29-year-old, and he'll have until Nov. 17 to accept or decline the qualifying offer.

The Yankees extended Bednar a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday.

In his first full season with the Yankees, Bednar recorded 35 saves with a 2.47 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 76:20 K:BB across 69.1 innings. Only Bryan Baker and Cade Smith recorded more saves in the American League during the 2026 regular season. Bednar recently turned 32 years old and has until Nov. 17 to accept or decline the qualifying offer.

Enns became a free agent Monday after the Orioles declined his club option for the 2027 season, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Enns made 13 appearances out of the bullpen for Baltimore during the 2026 season, working his way to a 3.94 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 13 strikeouts across 16.0 innings. He'll test the open market following Monday's transaction.

The Yankees selected Luciano's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

It's a procedural move in order to add Luciano to the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old infielder spent last season with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he combined to slash .293/.387/.545 with 27 home runs, 78 RBI, 90 runs scored, eight stolen bases and a 64:122 BB:K across 493 plate appearances. He should get a chance to win a job with the big club during spring training.

Sanmartin was designated for assignment by the Giants on Monday.

Sanmartin will head to waivers while also allowing the Giants to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. He appeared in 24 games during the 2026 season, posting a 4.22 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with a 16:7 K:BB across 21.1 innings.
