Jhonathan Diaz Elects Free Agency
Briefly

The Seattle Mariners announced the DFA of outfielder Cade Marlowe and pitcher Jhonathan Díaz. After going unclaimed, Díaz opted for free agency while Marlowe stays in the organization. Díaz's release followed the acquisition of Casey Legumina. In his brief Major League tenure, Díaz struggled but performed better in Triple-A Tacoma. Marlowe, unable to reject the minor league assignment, also had an average season in Triple-A, and the Mariners are likely to invite him to their upcoming MLB camp.
Díaz elected free agency after being DFA'd by the Mariners, while Marlowe remains in the organization after a middling season in Triple-A.
Marlowe hit .236/.342/.395 in Tacoma, and the Mariners are expected to invite him to MLB camp, despite his designation for assignment.
