The Mariners made five cuts from their big league spring training roster. Also manager Scott Servais admitted that Charlie Furbush probably won't be ready by opening day.
The Mariners trimmed down their Major League spring training roster to 40 players on Sunday morning, cutting five players from big league camp.
Right-handed pitcher Jonathan Aro, left-handed pitcher David Rollins and catcher Steven Baron were optioned to Class AAA Tacoma. Meanwhile right-handed pitcher Adrian Sampson and infielder Ed Lucas, who are not on the 40-man roster, were re-assigned to minor league camp.
“All those guys showed well at times in camp, but the innings and the at-bats are starting to go away,” manager Scott Servais said.
