As many people around baseball expected Richie Sexson was released today by the Seattle Mariners. He was hitting a dismal .218/.315/.381 with 11 homeruns and 30 RBI’s. It will be interesting to see if a contending team will take a chance on Sexson. I think this is the begining of the Seattle Mariners fire sale. Guys like Beltre, Vidro, Ibanez, Cairo, Johjima, Washburn, Batista, and Rhodes might be on there way out of Seattle. They need to rebuild there farm system after trading it all away for Erik Bedard who today went on the DL. Some of these veterans could be impact players down the stretch for some contending teams that need help.
