DETROIT -- Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer has joined his fourth team of 2025.

Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Seattle Mariners this week after being given his release from the Kansas City Royals’ Triple-A affiliate in Omaha.

Fulmer, 32, appeared in his first game for Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

It’s been 10 years since Fulmer came to the Tigers from the New York Mets, along with pitcher Luis Cessa, in the trade for outfielder Yoenis Céspedes .

He won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2016 and remained a steady and reliable starter in 2017 and 2018 before injuries took their toll.
