7 years agoThe Seattle Mariners are signing free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth to a minor league deal on Tuesday. He will stay in extended spring training a while to get in shape before joining Triple-A Tacoma. The grizzled veteran saw very little interest on the open market over the winter after being injured for much of last season and playing in just 70 games for the Nationals. He struggled by hitting .226/.322/.393 with 10 homers and 29 RBI. He will be turning 39 this May and is unlikely to see much playing time for Seattle. He's only a consideration in deep AL-only leagues as bench depth.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
