Tigers moves:
Kenley Jansen’s $12m option declined. He gets a $2m buyout.
Drew Anderson’s $10m option picked up.
Jacob Waguespack re-signed to a 1-yr MLB contract.

The Seattle Mariners exercise closer Andres Munoz's $9 million option, but decline the options of starter Bryce Miller and outfielder Victor Robles, making them free agents beginning Monday.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Despite having his option declined, Bryce Miller is only arbitration eligible and will not become a free agent until after the 2029 season.

Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston is averaging 20.6 yards per catch.
It's the highest yards/rec by any @NFL player through his five career games (min. 15 rec) since Randy Moss in 1998 (21.0).
