Randy Arozarena earns Second-Team All-MLB recognition after career season

Randy Arozarena picked up his first individual honor of the MLB awards season, earning a Second-Team All-MLB selection as the league recognized the top regular-season performers at each position.

MLB’s All-MLB program, established in 2019, was introduced to reflect full-season production rather than the first-half bias of All-Star voting. Fans helped choose the teams for this year’s outfield, with only regular-season criteria considered.

Arozarena, who spent the past two-plus seasons with the Seattle Mariners, was Seattle’s lone representative across all positions. The award came at Wednesday’s MLB Awards presented by MGM Rewards ceremony in Las Vegas.

In Seattle’s season, Arozarena stood out statistically as the team’s most consistent hitter, delivering a “career season” according to MLB’s recap. Over 154 games, he posted 26 home runs, 34 doubles, 79 RBIs and 26 stolen bases, along with a.281/.381/.484 slash line and an 151 wRC+.

As the honor lands, Arozarena is now a free agent for the first time in his career. The Mariners extended him a qualifying offer earlier in the month, a one-year value set at $23.15 million, and MLB reported he is expected to decline it before the Tuesday deadline.
