The Seattle Mariners have avoided arbitration with one of their top young starters.
Seattle announced Tuesday that it has agreed to terms with Bryce Miller on a one-year contract with a team option for 2027.
According to MLB.com's Adam Jude, the deal is for $2.4375 million.
Ahead of the deadline for arbitration-eligible players and teams to exchange figures, the Mariners filed at $2.25 million, and Miller filed at $2.625 million.
The 27-year-old right-hander made 18 regular-season starts for Seattle in 2025, posting a 5.68 ERA. Miller, however, battled injury for much of the year and had two stints on the injured list with right elbow inflammation.
Miller appeared to return to form in the post-season, when he delivered 14.1 innings of four-run ball. That included two starts against Toronto in the ALCS, where he held the Blue Jays to just six hits and two runs in 10 innings.
A fourth-round pick of the Mariners in 2021, Miller broke out in 2024, carrying a 2.94 ERA over 31 starts and 180.1 innings while collecting 171 strikeouts.
After the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli avoided arbitration over the weekend, there are now 16 unsettled arbitration cases.
