Austin Nola Joins Seattle Mariners as Bullpen Coach After Opting Out of Braves Deal

Returning to his home, Nola accepted Seattle’s bullpen coach job after opting out of a Braves minor-league deal. The former catcher debuted with Seattle, was traded in 2020 to San Diego, and last appeared in MLB in 2025 with Colorado. He’ll help guide a relief corps led by Muñoz; Seattle’s bullpen ranked ninth in 2025 with a 3.72 ERA.
