MONDAY, 2:52pm: Ryan Divish of The Tacoma News Tribune tweets that Langerhans has cleared waivers and will report to Triple-A Tacoma.
THURSDAY, 2:14pm: The Mariners designated outfielder Ryan Langerhans for assignment to make room for reliever Jesus Colome, tweets ESPN's Shannon Drayer. This ends the Mariners' six-man bullpen experiment. U.S.S. Mariner's Dave Cameron wrote yesterday that while he feels a six-man pen can work, he's not sure the Mariners are presently built for one. Talking to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times, Ms GM Jack Zduriencik explained why Langerhans was cut instead of Mike Sweeney.
Langerhans, 30, hit .218/.311/.386 in 122 big league plate appearances last year. He hit .278/.371/.488 at Triple A. Langerhans was non-tendered by the Mariners in December but re-signed a week later.
