SEATTLE -- Danny Espinosa was ready to enjoy his first weekend off since February, about to take his wife, Sara, and 10-month-old son, Ty, to Disneyland.
Then work called.
The 30-year-old infielder, who was released last week by the Los Angeles Angels, got word Saturday that the Seattle Mariners were going to sign him.
"We still went," Espinosa said of his weekend plans, "and turned it into a celebration."
Espinosa made his debut for the Mariners as a pinch runner Tuesday night and stayed in to play first base against the Boston Red Sox.
