Mariners Designate Jack Cust For Assignment

The Mariners designated Jack Cust for assignment to open a spot on the active roster for Erik Bedard, announced the team.  The move drops the team's 40-man roster count to 39.

Cust, 32, hit .213/.344/.329 in 270 plate appearances for the Mariners, all as a designated hitter.  His slugging percentage had been slipping in recent years, but this year it fell off a cliff as he provided only 19 extra-base hits.  Cust, a left-handed hitter, signed a $2.5MM deal with Seattle in December after being non-tendered by Oakland.
