Mariners Release Hong-Chih Kuo

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | March 19, 2012 at 2:33pm CDT

The Mariners announced that they released left-handed reliever Hong-Chih Kuo. Seattle has 39 players on its 40-man roster after cutting Kuo, who signed a Major League deal in February.

Kuo struggled through 40 appearances in 2011, posting a 9.00 ERA with 12.0 K/9 and 7.7 BB/9 and missing time with an anxiety disorder. His results were much better before last year; he had a 3.19 career ERA with 10.5 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 entering the 2011 season. The 30-year-old underwent his fifth career elbow surgery in October and the Dodgers non-tendered him two months later. Kuo, an Octagon client, signed for $500K in guaranteed money and would have earned an additional $500K plus incentives on the active roster.

    I loved this signing when it happened. I guess there was a reason why barely anybody had interest in him from the get-go

    Bummer, hope he finds something before he decides to go home and open that restaurant…  but if that’s what he decides to do, best of luck!

      Nope. I watched some ST games and he is TERRIBLE. Maybe they will take David Pauley back now?

    To the Yankees on a Minor League deal? Could always use another lefty to compete for the 2nd lefty/longman spot in the pen

    Too bad.  I’d love for the Braves to pick up a good LOOGY like Kuo or D-train, but then again there’s probably a good reason these guys were released so…
