Ryder Ryan - Lands with Seattle Ryan signed a minor-league contract with Seattle on Monday.
Impact Ryan has spent the last two seasons at Triple-A Round Rock, where he posted a 4.49 ERA, 122:48 K:BB and 1.43 WHIP in 104.1 innings. It's possible he serves as a non-roster invitee this spring, but it seems likely that he'll at least spend most of the season in the minors.

Tommy Milone - Rejoins Seattle Milone signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Thursday, Paul Braverman, Director of Media Relations and Baseball Information for the Tacoma Rainiers reports.
Impact Milone spent the majority of the 2022 season with Triple-A Tacoma and maintained a 2.68 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP across 40.1 innings. He appeared as a reliever for short stints in Seattle and will likely serve as organizational depth once again in 2023.

Chris Clarke - Heading to Seattle Clarke was selected by the Mariners during the Rule 5 draft Wednesday.
Impact The 24-year-old drafted in the fourth round by the Cubs in 2019, but the club didn't add him to the 40-man roster, and he'll now move on to the Mariners. Clarke spent most of 2022 at the Double-A level and had a 4.93 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 87:20 K:BB over 96.2 innings.

Casey Sadler - Back with M's on MiLB pact Sadler (shoulder) and the Mariners agreed Wednesday on a minor-league contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Seattle non-tendered Sadler earlier this offseason, with the 32-year-old reliever choosing to elect free agency soon thereafter. He'll rejoin the Mariners on a deal that presumably includes an invitation to spring training, but it's unclear if Sadler will be ready to go by the time pitchers report to camp in February. After he was one of the majors' top setup men in 2021 with an 0.67 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB over 40.1 innings, Sadler missed the entire 2022 campaign while recovering from the right shoulder surgery he underwent in late March. Sadler isn't a safe bet to reclaim the velocity and command he displayed pre-surgery and may not resurface as a viable MLB reliever.
