Make room for the latest addition to the Seattle Mariners' roster, Tucker. On Saturday, the team announced he is the new clubhouse dog and will be a regular attendant for the team's home games and occasional road games, according to MLB.com.
Seattle adopted the 4-year-old Labrador retriever mix from OkanDogs Dog Rescue, located in Cashmere, Washington. The organization called the Mariners earlier in the summer when Tucker arrived at its rescue center. But before becoming an official team member, Tucker had to undergo an in-depth scouting process from team personnel.
Once Tucker made it through the procedure, Jack Mosimann, Mariners director of major league operations, made the 2½-hour car trip to acquire the free agent.
