Mariners Release Todd Coffey

By Steve Adams [September 4, 2014 at 8:21pm CDT]
The Mariners have released right-hander Todd Coffey so that he can search for an opportunity with a contender that can use his services, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports ([ame="[MEDIA=twitter]507695875075088384[/MEDIA]"]on Twitter[/ame]).
Coffey, who turns 34 next week, signed a minor league deal with the Mariners earlier this summer after missing the 2013 campaign following his second Tommy John surgery. Somewhat curiously, he didn’t crack Seattle’s big league roster despite fairly dominant numbers in the minors; the veteran righty pitched to a 1.93 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 in 37 1/3 at Triple-A Tacoma.

Aren't we a contender? Do you ever have enough relief pitching? Can't you have up to 40 players on roster?

I was hoping they would find a way to sneak him onto the 40-man roster so they could call him up, but it didn't happen. I hoped they tried, at least. I think they owed him that much. He turned in a helluva year for the Rainiers.

That was my thought. Hard to believe there wasn't a way to get him on.
