Mariners Release Matt Tuiasosopo

By Dan Mennella | September 1, 2011 at 6:27pm CDT

The Mariners have released minor league infielder Matt Tuiasosopo, according to a club press release. The move makes room on Seattle's 40-man roster for lefty Cesar Jimenez, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding transaction.

Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told Tuiasosopo that the release was the result of a roster squeeze and the M's would like to have the 25-year-old back in the spring, tweets Shannon Drayer of ESPN 710 radio in Seattle.

Tuiasosopo, a third-round draft pick in 2004, had spent all of 2011 with Tacoma, where he hit .226/.341./.394 with 14 homers. He played in parts of three seasons with the Mariners from 2008-10, hitting .176/.234/.306 in 210 plate appearances.

    It is about time. Matt Tuiasosopo had enough chances to prove himself to the Seattle organization, but he just didn’t make it happen.

    Don’t give him any ideas…although, given the Raider’s QB situation, what’s the worst that can happen?

      The worst thing that could happen with the Raiders QB situation is probably that Jason Campbell gets hurt.

      I know this isn’t a football thread, but c’mon… the guy was solid last year and the team went 8-8. The Redskins would’ve done better with him than with McNabb.

        I know…trust me, I’m a Raider fan. I don’t think his celing’s much higher though. And you’re right about the Redskin part

    (Tui never did come back to Seattle) He ended up signing a minor league deal with the NY Mets. The End.
