Mariners Release Richie Sexson

By Tim Dierkes [July 10 at 1:06pm CST]

In a long-awaited move, the Mariners released first baseman Richie Sexson today. They'll eat about $6MM in salary for the rest of the year.

 

Sexson, 33, is hitting .218/.315/.381 in 292 plate appearances this year. Perhaps someone could pick him up as a lefty-masher; he's fared well against them this year (not so much in 2006-07 though).

 

 

Thats alot of dough to eat, but Sexson has just been putrid for the awhile now.

 

 

If Seattle is willing to eat that much salary, theres hope the Sox won't mind eating Luog's salary and send him packing:D

As bad as he has been Lugo is so much more valuable than Sexson.
