The Mariners announced Tuesday they will not tender a 2007 contract offer to right-handed pitcher Joel Piñeiro.
Piñeiro is now a free agent and may negotiate with any of the 30 Major League teams.
Piñeiro, 28, appeared in a career-high 40 games, including 25 starts, and posted an 8-13 record. He was 7-12, 6.62 in his starts and 1-1, 4.81 with one save in 15 relief appearances. Since going 14-7 with a 3.24 ERA in 2002, Pineiro's ERA has risen each season and was a career-worst 6.36 in 2006.
Piñeiro was Seattle's 12th round selection in the 1997 June draft and spent his entire career in the Mariners organization. He has a Major League mark of 58-55, 4.48 in 185 games, 148 starts.
