Rowdy Tellez News: Released by Mariners

The Mariners released Tellez on Thursday.

Tellez passed through waivers unclaimed after being booted from Seattle's 40-man roster and is now free to latch on with another organization. The 30-year-old slashed .208/.249/.434 with 11 homers for the Mariners and seems likely to have to settle for a minor-league contract.
