Most of the 2009 major league coaching staff was retained, with the exception of third base coach Bruce Hines.Mike Brumley was named the new third base coach on October 30, 2009. On December 7, the Mariners announced their minor league staff.

On October 19, 2009, catcher Kenji Johjima, the first Japanese-born catcher in Major League Baseball, exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and returned to playing in Nippon Professional Baseball. The Mariners also lost their home run leader, Russell Branyan, who declined a one-year deal with the Mariners to test the free agent market. Two-time Gold Glove winner Adrián Beltré opted for free agency on November 5, 2009, and later signed with the Boston Red Sox. The third baseman declined $12 million in arbitration from the Mariners only days after the team signed Chone Figgins (see below). Beltre officially parted ways with the Mariners when he signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Phillippe Aumont, noted as one of the top prospects in the organization, was sent to the Phillies in the trade for Cliff Lee. Also, pitcher Brandon Morrow was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays as well.Carlos Silva, whose time in Seattle was plagued by injury, was traded to the Chicago Cubs on December 18.
