Former Seattle Mariners Prospect Luis Curvelo Popular Target at GM Meetings
There have been several key dates deadlines that have passed during the offseason that have invoked roster moves from the Seattle Mariners.
Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger opted in to his $17.5 million player option and the club declined the $12 million option on second baseman Jorge Polanco.
Seattle has made other roster moves, including selecting the contract of minor leaguer Blas Castano and activating Sam Haggerty, Matt Brash and Jackson Kowar off the 60-day injured list (as they were required to do per MLB rules).
But there’s been another big offseason even that’s flown under the radar so far: MLB General Manager meetings.
The annual meetings, taking place this year in San Antonio, started on Tuesday and continue through Thursday.
The General Manager meetings are usually when the ball truly starts to get rolling on offseason trades. Everyone is face-to-face and phone calls that were “checking in” on the availability of a player(s) quickly turn into the beginning stages of a deal.
And according to recent reports, a former Mariners prospect is a popular free agent target according to reports.
According to MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi, former Seattle minor league pitcher Luis Curvelo is a popular free agent target among the GM meetings.
Curvelo was an international free agent signing in 2018 out of Venezuela. Curvelo most recently pitched for the Mariners Double-A affiliate Arkansas Travelers in 2024. He had a 2.57 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 66.2 innings pitched in 49 appearances.
Curvelo’s minor league deal expired in 2024 and based on his most recent results, he’ll be a quality bullpen arm for any team that goes after him.
Seattle has been lauded for its pitching development over the last several seasons, and it looks like, based on reports, another team will reap the benefits of that.

Seahawks’ Geno Smith Apologizes, Vows Improvement After Loss to Rams
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, yet in his mind, it wasn’t enough to make up for his mistakes, not even close.
Smith, now in his third season as Seattle’s starter, threw three costly interceptions throughout the day. Two of those picks came deep in the red zone during the fourth quarter, including a 103-yard pick six that gave Los Angeles a 20-13 lead.
The loss isn’t entirely on him, but Smith knows that mistakes like that simply aren’t a recipe for winning football.
“First of all, I want to start off by apologizing to my teammates, really, and to the city, to the organization,” Smith said postgame. “They put a lot of trust in me with my decision-making, and when they put the ball in my hands, when my teammates play the way they played today and to give us a shot to win the game, I’ve got to make sure we do.
“The things I did today, mistakes that I made, they affected us negatively and really cost us the game today. Me knowing myself, I know how much this is going to hurt. I’m going to step it up, though. That’s how I feel about it. I’m going to step it up.”
Part of the reason Smith feels so responsible is seeing his teammates playing so well. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his best game as a pro with seven receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns, while practice squad elevation Cody White had two huge receptions for 44 yards. As such, Smith felt that his mistakes made those performances and more go to waste.
“All those situations just led me to think, man, we’ve got to get it done, I’ve got to get it done for my guys and for the city. I really feel like I let everybody down today. I really do.”
Through nine games this season, Smith has completed 68.1 percent of his passes for a league-leading 2,560 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. While he’s putting up a ton of yards, he’d like to throw more touchdowns and fewer picks going forward.
“If I’m being honest, I could play better and I could correct a lot of things,” Smith said. “That’s the job of the quarterback is to overcome and ultimately to get wins. When we’re in position to get wins, I’ve got to make it happen.”
