Albers, who made nine appearances for the Mariners back in 2017, will provide Seattle with some extra relief depth this upcoming season. The 36-year-old veteran lefty surrendered 16 runs on 24 hits (nine home runs) with a 12/9 K/BB ratio across 19 innings (five appearances, two starts) last year at the big-league level with the Twins.

Albers has refused a minor-league assignment and will hit the free agent market instead. The 36-year-old lefty was shelled for 16 runs on 24 hits with a 12/9 K/BB ratio across 19 innings (five appearances, three starts) with the Twins this season. He'll search for a new opportunity this offseason.

Albers put up a 7.58 ERA in three starts and two relief appearances with the Twins in 2021. He's now off the 40-man roster.

Albers holds a 7.58 ERA over three starts and two relief appearances with the Twins this season. Nick Vincent will take his spot in the bullpen.
