Weston Wilson Signs With Seattle Mariners After Orioles Release

Weston Wilson signed with the Seattle Mariners after electing free agency earlier this month. The Mariners sit atop the American League West division as of June 18, 2026. The 31-year-old outfielder had been outrighted by the Baltimore Orioles after they designated him for assignment to add catcher Sam Huff to the roster.

Wilson cleared waivers and was outrighted for the second time in his career, which allowed him to elect free agency. He had joined the Orioles organization when the Philadelphia Phillies placed him on waivers before the 2026 season. Before this season, Wilson’s MLB experience came exclusively in Philadelphia.

428 across 245 trips to the plate. Wilson accrued more than 215 big-league at-bats with the Phillies across exactly 100 games. He was primarily a corner outfielder with Philadelphia, though Baltimore used him most frequently on the dirt.

428 in 245 plate appearances over three seasons with Philadelphia and was outrighted twice by Baltimore. Wilson never developed into an everyday starter in Philadelphia, but he provided valuable versatility.

His ability to play both infield and outfield positions helped him earn repeated opportunities at the major league level while contributing occasional power. That flexibility could be exactly what Seattle values as it continues to strengthen organizational depth for the stretch run.
