While the Seattle Mariners have been interested in signing him to an extension, Kendrys Morales appears headed for free agency this winter.

The Mariners contacted Scott Boras shortly before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline about an extension, but the call never led to serious negotiations. Morales is all but certain to become a free agent.

Morales had told people he was interested in remaining with Seattle long-term, but the Mariners balked at the numbers floated about.
