Leody Taveras News: DFA'd by Mariners

The Mariners designated Taveras for assignment Monday.

Taveras was scooped up by the Mariners via waivers in early May after the Rangers had removed him from their 40-man roster. However, he's now been designated for assignment again after putting up a lowly .470 OPS in 28 contests with Seattle. Another team may be willing to dedicate a waiver claim to Taveras, though his $4.75 million salary will likely deter some suitors.
