Kolten Wong Designated For Assignment
1 year agoSeattle Mariners executive vice president and general manager of baseball operations Justin Hollander announced on Tuesday that the team designated infielder Kolten Wong for assignment. The team also recalled right-hander Trent Thornton from Triple-A Tacoma and optioned right-hander Juan Then and outfielder Taylor Trammell to Tacoma. Wong just could never get going this year in Seattle after the M's acquired him in a trade from the Milwaukee Brewers last offseason. The 32-year-old veteran infielder was hitting just .165/.241/.227 with two home runs, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored in 194 at-bats. The Mariners are giving new acquisition Josh Rojas his first start at the keystone on Tuesday, and Jose Caballero should also mix in at second base moving forward for Seattle.
