The Mariners announced several roster moves this afternoon. Chief among them was the departure of right-hander Penn Murfee, who was claimed off waivers by the Mets. Murfee underwent UCL surgery back in June and is expected to miss at least the first half of the 2024 campaign. In addition, the Mariners assigned three players outright to Triple-A: catcher Luis Torrens along with right-handers Easton McGee and Adam Oller. Torrens has the right to reject the outright assignment and elect free agency; Oller and McGee, meanwhile, lack the requisite service time to reject their assignments but still figure to be eligible for minor league free agency in November.
